Hey, Noel sorry to hear with your trouble with iMovie 3. It seems to be really buggy and quirky for many people. It ran way too slowly on my Blue and White G3. I am happily using Adobe Premiere 6.5. It is nice to have a full-featured video editor that runs natively in OS X. I just have to decide between what capture device that I want to interface with it. I am thinking between a Sony Media Converter or maybe a Sony or Canon miniDV camera or possibly even an Aurora Igniter card. Can't decide. Chris
