I have a Sony Digital 8 camcorder (model DCR-TRV250) and I'm trying to import video into iMovie HD. Previously this camcorder worked fine with iMovie, but after upgrading to iMovie HD (from the iLife '06 DVD) I can't get the program to recognize the camera as an input device.
I connect the camera through the firewire port, turn it on in VCR mode, and the only option I get for importing video is from the iSight camera. The screen on the camcorder has a DV IN notation when the camera is connected to the iMac, so it appears that I could export video from iMovie HD to the camera, but not from the camcorder to iMovie HD.
Any help would be appreciated, as I am in need of getting this video imported, edited, and burned to DVD ASAP.
Thanks,
Brian
