[MacDV] Re: 10.2.4 update

[Gerhard Kuhn]

O.K. here is my set up : iMac G4 800, 512 RAM, Superdrive, external 80 
GB 7200 RPM Lacie firewire drive

Before installing the 10.2.4 update iMovie 3 did everything it was 
suppose to.  Now I can still edit but the sound is choppy and the video 
will freeze for 1/2 a second at a time every few seconds during 
playback.  This makes editing difficult to say the least.  If I export 
this to Quick Time at full quality DV it plays beautifully but not in 
iMovie.  I cannot see how the hardware can be at fault since it did a 
fine job on Friday before I did the OS update.  This setup is neither 
unusual nor borderline for the specs suggested by Apple so my 
conclusion is that the fault lies within the 10.2.4 update.
