better quality movie with a larger file size.

to less than 12 frames per second.
Sharing Your Movies Via Bluetooth Wireless Technology
You can use Bluetooth technology to transfer movies wirelessly to other computers,
mobile phones, personal digital assistants, and more. To use Bluetooth devices with
iMovie HD, your Bluetooth device must be compliant with the Third Generation
Partnership Program (3G-PP) and have an appropriate video application to be able to
display movies.
When you click the Bluetooth icon in the Share dialog, iMovie HD automatically
prepares your movie for wireless transfer. It then presents a dialog that allows you to
discover and transfer your movie to a device that has the Bluetooth wireless
technology. You must have previously set up your computer to use Bluetooth wireless
technology using the Bluetooth preferences in the System Preferences pane.
Did You Know? Archiving a Project on DVD Disc
You can archive a copy of an iMovie HD project on a recordable CD or DVD disc. Most
projects will require the amount of space provided by a DVD disc. The archived copy
includes all the assets used in the project. You can then transfer the project and its
files to another computer, or keep the disc for safekeeping. Later you can use the disc
to restore the project onto your computer for further editing. Depending on the
capabilities of your optical disc drive, you can use iMovie HD to burn the archived
project on DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW discs.
When you archive a project on DVD disc, you can’t play the DVD in DVD players,
QuickTime, or DVD Player. To create a DVD you can view your movie from, export the
movie to iDVD.
To archive a project on DVD disc, choose File > Burn Project to Disc. Confirm that you
want to create an archive of your project. Insert a blank DVD disk and click Burn.
