• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Hi Mac Forums,
I have a Mac G5 with Leopard OSX 10.5 and iMovie HD 5.0.2 When I try to import video from a Sony DCR-PC110E via Firewire, the video plays in the LCD screen on the camera OK. For the first few frames the iMovie window on the G5 is just a mass of small fast moving seperated blocks. After a few seconds the iMovie screen goes totally blank, it displays a blue screen and imports nothing but the video continues playing in the camera LCD screen. Even the Clips panel is just blank.

I then disconnect the Firewire cable and plug it into my G4 with OSX 10.3.9 and iMovie 3.0.3. Open iMovie, rewind the tape on the PC110E, click the Import button and it imports perfectly. Can anyone please advise. With regards, Bryan
