I'm using a Sony DSR-V10 DVCAM Portable Player/Recorder VCR with this imacDV and a G4 running Final Cut Pro, and it's never been a problem. Have read other posts on the imovie2 and OSX discussion boards where people are facing the same situation. Just wondering if imovie3 addresses the problem (as I've just ordered iLife) and if not, should I go back to OS 9.2.2 so that we can use imovie?
