[QUOTE="avirao, post: 996095, member: 143335"] Hi All New to the forum - please forgive me if I ask a questions already answered earlier. Problem: I tried to connect my Sony DCR-72E (mpeg2) camcorder to the newly purchased iMAC via USB. I opened iMovie and clicked on the camera icon part way down on the left handside. A popup window displayed stating it was locating any devices connected with "Sony Camcorder" displayed in the bottom part of the pop up window. However, after a while this pop up window disappears but the camera is not connected. I do set the camcorder to "connect to computer" on the camcorder menu which displays "conecting please do not disconnect". On my PC this operation is not a problem. Could this be a MPEG2 issue? Will it solve itself if I purchase Quicktime Pro (which has MPEG2 decoder built in)? I need some assistance in making the connection.:'( Help! Best regards [/QUOTE]
