[MacDV] Re: iMovie2: go through camera to VCR from iMac

[James Asherman]

TRy pressing the record button and the one next to it on your DV 
camera. If you can then see your VHS coming in on the analog, then it 
should firewire into the iMac.
After editing choose "play through to camera" in iMovie preferences, 
and change the RCA plugs on the VCR from "out" to "in". If it will work 
at all thats how it works.
Do not have the play through on when recording into the computer.
