I was capturing directly to the external drive. It does have two firewire ports, and I was sure that that was the correct way to do this. <snip> Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2002 09:44:02 +0200 Subject: [MacDV] Re: FW HD's that work with iMovie? From: Filipp Lepalaan <filipp at mac.ee> Message-ID: <BA1F5C61.883%filipp at mac.ee> Hi, To my knowledge it really doesn't matter what brand of HD you're using. (they all use the same IDE drives anyways) Are You trying to capture directly to the ext. HD? (I'm guessing not because the iBook has one FW port and cameras and HD's can't be chained) I would suggest getting a FW hub and try to edit in OS 9.x Hope this helps, Filipp </snip> David Crump ================================== You can reach me at: email: davecrump at mac.com www: http://homepage.mac.com/davecrump/
