<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am running into problems copying a DV tape made on a Sony HC5 to iMovie and then back to a fresh DV tape.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Here are the specs:</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">iMac with 2 GHz PowerPC G5, 1 GB DDR SDRAM, OS 10.4.11</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">iMovie HD</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Sony HC5 camcorder</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">All I want to do is make a copy of the original tape. The footage was recorded in HD. I am OK with importing it to iMovie in DV and exporting it back to a fresh tape in DV (the HD is not that important to me, at least for now).</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I tried to import the original footage into iMovie via DV, but iMovie did not import the entire 60 minute tape. When I tried to export the footage back to a new tape, the process (iMovie) stopped halfway through. Footage that was successfully exported to the new tape had video and audio sync problems.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Can someone help me figure out how to properly set up my Sony HC5 and iMovie to make this work?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks for your help.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
