    • 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.

Hi,

Had a very un-mac moment today. imovie wouldn't recognise my Canon mv650i. Problem seems to be that when my external Lacie drive is connected to the other firewire port at the same time it causes the problem. Also this drive does not access correctly. When I disconnect this drive from the computer imovie recognises my camcorder.

Is this normal, or could I have a problem?

Thanks

I am not an expert, so i'll give some non expert advice:

The cable is not connecting to the computer properly but when you take it out, it connects properly. A physical connection is what I'm referring to, try moving the cable around?

I'm sorry, this probably wont help, but there is a small chance that it might.
