Just a reminder.

The iMovie Help still states that you should not capture from a Canon 
DV camcorder to a FireWire drive, only to the internal hard disk. I 
have a Canon ZR 40, and I've never been able to successfully capture 
to my external FireWire drive with my iMac G4 800 (one time it even 
trashed the external to the extent that I reformatted it).

Here's the quote: "If you are using a Canon DV camcorder, you can't 
import or export directly to a FireWire hard disk. Instead, import or 
export to your internal hard disk and copy the file to the FireWire 
hard disk."

Someone stated recently (maybe on this list) that Jaguar might have 
corrected this problem. I tried it again with Jaguar, and the capture 
aborted almost immediately.

I'm using iMovie 2.1.2 with OS X 10.2.3.
