iMovie won't play or import video from my DV camcorder.

iMovie recognises that the camcorder is connected. I can use the iMovie controls to direct the camcorder to rewind, fast-forward, play, stop etcetera. But the monitor remains empty (blue) and nothing happens when I toggle Import.

Any ideas what may be the problem? Didn't find anything in support from Apple and Grundig.

* G3 350Mhz 192MB 6GB
* OS 10.2.3
* iMovie 2.1.2
* Grundig Scenos DLC 2000

TIA,
Eric
 
•Are you sure you recorded something?
•Are you sure you rewound your film using the camera before you plugged it in?
•Do I know what I'm talking about? ;)
 
Eric.roovers,

Welcome to MacOSX.com!

Forgive me if this is too elementary:

Did you press Play first before you pressed the Import button? The cam needs to be playing--and you should see the video in the preview pane in iMovie--before you press Import.

Wow, this is an old thread... Trip, why'd you bring this to the surface? I doubt that guy's been around here since the beginning of the year, especially after his post goes unanswered for so long (9 months! Wow...)
 
:)

I got flamed for doing this, so I'm just pointing it out... (Although I did it intentionally as a joke, I'm not sure why Trip did.)
