    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.

Greetings

I am trying,without success, to transfer a movie from iMovie HD back to camera. I am using Mavericks. I have bags of storage and 12 Gigs pf RAM. I keep getting an error saying that the program cannot export the movie. (see pic attached) I have tried connecting/disconnecting the camera, switched the camera off and on, but still no joy.

Can anyone help, please? The net wasn't any help.

Cheers Mitcherooney

It depends whether your camcorder has a Digital Video Input(DV In) function. My miniDV camcorder doesn't.

Thanks for replying MG. My camera does have a dv-in socket and I have used it successfully in the past, I've just been doing something wrong. Finally - fluke - I managed to do it after switching the camera on and off, I had done this previously to no effect. Perhaps there is a certain sequence of plugging and unplugging leads and switching off and on. I guess that I just stumbled across it. But I couldn't tell you the sequence that finally made the difference!

Could be a faulty connection.
