I have been using iMovie'09 for two days only. I need to edit some videos and make a DVD for a friend.

It happens to me that I want to join two clips together to form one continuous clip, so when I export the video to iDVD, they won't be treat as two different chapters.

The most obvious way to do so is to choose Edit->Join Clip, but that menu item was always gray out when I chose two adjacent clips. I tried to highlight two/three adjacent clips, two apart clips etc, but it is still grayed out.

I googled for a while but it seems no one knows, anyone knows how to use the "Join Clip"?
