I'm trying to edit some VHS tapes in imovie. I've connected my Sony handycam HC32E to a VCR and switched on the camcorder's setting A/V - DVout. I've also connected the camcorder by firwire to my powerbook G4 and have imovie open.

I thought I would then be able to press play on the VCR and then import into imovie. However when I play the video I can see it playing on the camcorder but when I press import in imovie it looks like it's working for one second and then it swaps to importing the tape in the camcorder. If I take the tape out ot the camcorder imovie won't rcognise the camcorder being there.

Any help would be much appreciated as I'm a bit stumped as to what to try or who to ask.

Thanks

have you followed the instructions on how to do this to the letter, as found on page 80 in the manual? there seems to be somethings that must be set up in the camera's menu's to allow you to do this. also, looking through the manual, it looks like you need to be sure to use the ilink(firewire) cable when doing video, not the usb cable.
this is about the best i can do yor you, being i don't own this camera, and have never done this before myself. if you have followed the instrutions, and are using the firewire cable, and it sill doesn't work, then it might be time to goto sony and ask then why their product is not working as it should.
