[G4] Importing video into a G4 MDD

[diane]

Mel,

Thanks for your reply. I should have mentioned, the reason we are 
using the camcorder is to tape our races. We've gone through a few of 
them and this one has lasted the longest. They get pretty beat up 
from the jostling in the car and it's just not economical to buy a 
new camcorder for that.

Maybe I should just reinstall Avid on my PM6500, that did work fine 
last year. Hard to believe that old technology can still produce 
decent video.


Thanks,

Diane
