• 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.

Running an iMac running 10.5.8. Downloading video from a Panasonic SDR-H80P-K. It completes the task, but all clips are blank. Each clip shows the clip's length and the file is 3 gigs big so it downloaded. Why won't iMovie see the colored clips? I have downloaded the camera into another iMac with the same OS and iMovie 09 (8.0.4) and it worked perfectly. Any ideas?

I don't know. Make sure you have all the latest updates for iMovie and the iLife support updates first.

If you have other codec helpers installed, such as Perian, Flip4Mac, DiVX, etc, you might try un-installing them. That is a wild guess.

Look for any software differences between the two iMacs. Even a slight version difference may be the cause.
