has anyone had solid success using iMovie to edit DV tapes using an
unsupported machine?

I edited a lot of footage with my PowerMac 8600 and its stock 604e CPU with iMovie 1.0.2 and Mac OS 9.1.


iMovie 2.1.1 sometimes stuttered on export to tape so I imported with v2.1.1 and exported with v1.0.2.

I then got a XLR8 G4 450 and rendering transitions etc was faster but iMovie behaved otherwise as with the 604e.

iMovie 3.0.3 was a total failure; playback was only a few frames per second.

On Mac OS 10.1.5 iMovie 2.1.2 was OK but for some reason with Mac OS X 10.2.8 it tended to freeze the Mac.
