Hello, I can´t import a movie from a Sony mini DV camcorder (DCR-HC90E) into iMovie 3. After having spent 2 hours on usenet/googlegroups etc. search, maybe you can help:
Symptoms:
- I can control the camcorder via the remote ctrl buttons of iMovie, but when clicking import, there is no picture (blue canvas, though saying it´s on play mode)
- Same result with other video capture app (tried iDive for ex), so maybe s.th. is wrong with the camera settings (or with the cam at all - not for Mac?)
Settings:
- Camera on VCR mode (Play/Edit), Video output on V-out (instead of LCD panel) - but when clicking play-button in iMovie, the film is still on the LCD
- Film was recorded in the 16:9 format this model offers
iMovie prefs as usual:
- PAL
- new clip at scene changes
Many thanks
