i have a mini dv tape that i cannot get it captured in imovie.
i could play this tape using the dv cam, but once i connected the dv cam to the mac and played in imovie, it stopped right away. Anyone experienced something similar?


Thanks
chris

Has this particular cam ever worked with your version of iMovie? What OS are you running & what version of iMovie also?

i'm using 10.2.6, imovie 3.0.3, and it works all fine with other tapes.

any clue?

Sounds you are having the same problem as me.

My problem stems from trying to capture NTSC video from a PAL device (although I suppose the opposite may also not work).

The video is playable from the camera and on an NTSC or PAL TV however when trying to import using iMovie it stops after a second and won't move on.

Have tried everything to try and sort this out and so far no luck.

I am resorting to borrowing a friends NTSC camera to try and get the video in this week.

Might be the same problem for you...
