I'm trying to access a .imovieproj file on a windows system, obviously standard windows players are not compatible.

I don't have a MAC on hand to simply play the movie on.

Does anyone know of a converter to a windows compatible format, or software for windows to run these files? I am failing to find anything.

Regards,

The .iMovieProj file is only a plist (xml) file. You should be able to read it in any text editor. The actual video files for an iMovie project are found in the "Media" folder (within the *.iMovieProject folder). In my experience these files have been in .dv format and you can play them using Quicktime.

When reading the plist you'll see a list of the files stored in the media folder and their types. This should allow you to spot any missing files. Look for entries like this

<key>file</key>
<string>Clip 04.dv</string>

Hope this helps.
