[MacDV] Video Import Problems

[Mark M. Florida]

That's normal.  It's not a problem, it's just part of the original 
analog signal.  It won't show up when you play it on a TV, so you 
shouldn't worry about it.  If you need to export to QuickTime and want 
to get rid of it, you can make a mask in Photoshop and apply that in 
your QuickTime movie using the "Pro" version of QuickTime Player.  
(it's not too complicated, but beyond the scope of this reply).
