So I got my iBook G3 set up and I was working with iMovie. When I went to export the video, I tried to export to QuickTime. This is where the problem came in: When I select "To QuickTime" from the drop-down menu of targets, the window disappears. I can export fine on my Power Mac using the same OS version (9.2.2), the same iMovie version, and the same QT version (version 6). This also happens when I'm trying to export a video via QuickTime without iMovie, only it freezes the system.
Could it be a memory issue? My iBook has 128MB of RAM and my Power Mac has 1.5GB.
Does anyone know why this issue is occuring?

Methinks you have answered your own question.
By the time you subtract the OS and whatever else is running, how much is left?
No way to prove it without actually expanding the RAM of course.
I seem to recall the iBook maxing out at 640Mb or…?
-
Yeah, the iBook maxes at 640. 68.2 MB is left once Mac OS and Stuffit Helper take their share.
I have some more memory on the way anyway, so I can report back about this then.

So I got the RAM today. iMovie does the same thing as before, which makes me think it is an issue with it or QuickTime. I think reinstalling QuickTime will be my next step and then if that doesn't fix it I don't know what would be next to try. Any ideas?
Here's where I got QuickTime and iMovie:
