How to create a .mov video using iMovie 9 (the latest version).
1. In iMove, choose the "Share" menu
2. Choose "Export using QuickTime ..."
3. Name your file (please don't use spaces or special characters)
4. At the bottom, there are two "pop-up" menus.
Export: Choose "Movie to Quicktime Movie"
Use: Choose "Broadband- Medium"
5. Click "Save"
Now here's more information than you need, so ignore the rest if you like. If you use the above approach, this is the set of settings you'll have:

Frame rate 15
Key frame rate: 75
