Why can't I capture from my camera? This is the third time you've asked this question. iMovie expects to see the video camera at the built in Firewire port. This is the way it is coded. Of course, the Wallstreet does *not* have a built-in Firewire port. I no longer do video on my Wallstreet, but I used to. I have used iMovie with a cardbus firewire card (though maybe that was iMovie 1, it was a while ago). The camcorder was not always recognized, often depending on the kind of tape it contained - this was an often debated problem at the time. S I'd suggest to try and play some different tapes on the camcorder and see if it makes a difference - sometimes, just replacing the tape for a while made the camcorder be recognized and then I could but back the tape I intended and all was well. If you can't have iMovie work with your setting, I strongly advise you use BTV Pro (http://www.bensoftware.com). It is Mac OS 9 and X compatible, very solid, compatible with any video source, and has quite a few great features (time-lapse capture, dv device control, etc). Well worth the shareware fee.

An upgrade card for your Wallstreet couldn't hurt, and nor would mem upgrades. FCP or FCE, in fact, even iMovie love to have high headroom in the ram department. An iceBook or a Pismo is not a bad way to go, and in some ways better than a TiBook for general use as the early (and thus now low cost) TiBooks have crappy airport reception, flimsy cases and icky hinges. Pismos are sturdy, cool and now cheap to repair as parts have fallen in prices. A G4 upgrade exists as well. And it will float up to a gig in ram. An iBook is also cool. Excellent form factor, nice screen, sturdy, although some folk are experiencing screen connection problems due to weak wire in the hinges. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
