Graphite iBook and iMovie problems
Hey, G-Bookers, I have a venerable graphite iBook (466 mHz, 320M RAM), running iMovie 2.1.2 under Panther. The iBook's hard drive is almost full (less than 1 of its 10Gs is free), but I have a brand-new 120G external firewire drive attached, and my digital camera (Canon ZR-70) attached to the external drive. I can't get iMovie to accept the camera's output (repeated get error message disk responded slowly) -- same problem I'd hoped the external drive would solve. Questions: Which version of iMovie is best for this model of iBook? Any strategies for addressing this problem? Thanks. CM -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Graphite iBook and iMovie problems
Not specifically to do with iMovie but I crashed my orig. 10gb Pismo hard drive by getting it too full and it was a week-long nightmare that eventually ended with it being mostly restored, thanks to DiskWarrior. Shelled out the $100 for DW after two days of kernel panics and fscks to no avail and then an additional 5 days of DW running non-stop restoring the drive. Before that happened, I didn't know about the keep 10-15% of your hard drive free no matter what rule but I found out about it afterwards and now abide by it religiously. Just my .02...
