Have successfully imported numerous times.

When I plug everything up, iMovie will control the camera, but won't import. Just blue screen.
Then it starts acting squirrely (the play/stop/ff/rew buttons fade in and out).

I've checked the date/time on the camera, zapped the PRAM, quadruple checked all of the connections and still no go.

I tried importing the same footage with the same camera with the same firewire cable on a friend's iBook purchased last month, and it works fine.

Do I need to re-install iMovie? If so, what's the general procedure?

I've got a three-month old son who's screaming for more video to be taken of him, so any help is appreciated.
