I have DCR SR200. When I use disc burn it does bring the icon but I still can’t import the movies using iMovie. When I click on the icon it only sees built in iSight. The only options I have is “Done” and “Capture”. What am I missing?

Hey, thanks for having this it was helpful.

I have a sony DCR-SR47, and once I opened up iMovie (09) THEN plugged in the camera it recognized it the clips and imported them automatically…

@JenJ: You could always plug in the camera and copy the movie files back to the camera (OS X should see it as a generic USB device). Then disconnect and re-connect the camera. iMovie should import them without any problem. There’s probably another way, but this will work. -K

Thanks to your tips I can now import from my camera to iMovie!!

Any ideas if I’ve already moved the mpeg files from my Sony DCR SR200 to a hard drive and want to access them with iMovie? Seems like iMovie should be able to load them from a hard drive if it can recognize them from the camera.

@SJBG: I use VisualHub to convert . . . anything that needs converting.

That said, Techspansion no longer distributes this product. The source was opened and placed on Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/transcoderredux) but nothing has been done with it.

Don’t know of a tested alternative off-hand, but there are surely a number of them.
