[MacDV] Permissions Issue

[frank fitzpatrick]

I hereby give you my unauthorized Permission to ask this question.
My usual suggestions, but maybe you haven't heard them. Delete 
Preferences files for iMovie.  Try Cmd Opt. P R at startup - you know 
to zap the PRam, hold down the keys until the 3rd startup sound. Also 
update to OS10.3.
I love that quote you put below.
