[QUOTE="PowerBookG4, post: 727934, member: 8394"] You don't need drivers for firewire since its a standard in video transfering. Your computer will send the same signal and receive the same signal no matter what kind of camera or deck is plugged into it. The difference is the encoding of the video. I don't know anything about the camera and honestly don't have time to look it up. I'll give a little bit of info before I go to class. 1) Make sure the format you have is compatbale with iMovie. When they say its Mac compatable it may mean it works with the computer if you have Final Cut. 2) If you have an HDV camera make sure your on HD in iMovie. If you have a DV Camera, make sure you are in DV mode in iMovie. 3) Make sure all connections are snug and everything is on in the right mode. If you have other cables try replacing them. 4) If you have to after replacing cables reboot your system. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
