Hi there,

I'd really appreciate any help i can get on this one!

I'm trying to record a show from my Sky+ box onto my iMac. I have borrowed a Canopus ADVC110 box, and connected it via a scart-to-component lead to the Sky box, then a firewire cable to the mac. only I get nothing in iMovie. Am i missing something here!?

Thanks for your time!!

Your Mac's Specs
Imac G5 2ghz 1.5gb RAM and MBP Core 2 Duo 2.16ghz 2gb RAM
Maybe Imovie isnt compatible with the canopus , Try final cut , ATM at work im using a canopus ADVC-1000 to convert SDI to DV for avid editing , seems to work fine for us?? And we have it connected in almost the same way but from a Digi Beta Deck not a sky box!! Does the sky box send out a digital or composite signal??
