• 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.

My MBP is filling up and I want to move the raw footage I have in iMovie (8.0.6) on an EHDD.

I plugged in my WD Passport 2TB EHDD, where I also have TimeMachine backups from my MPB and my wife's MBA, and iMovie shows 2 EHDD icons in the Event Library box (bottom left).

These are:
Untitled (my WD Passport)
MobileBackups (this one has an exclamation icon attached to it)

So, what is the MobileBackups icon?

Your Mac's Specs
15" MBP '06 2.33 C2D 4GB 10.7; 13" MBA '14 1.8 i7 8GB 10.11; 21" iMac '13 2.9 i5 8GB 10.11; 6S
Can only suggest looking at the EHD in Finder to determine what iMovie might be seeing as a 2nd drive.
