Dazzle Hollywood DV-Bridge/iMovie no device control

Does anyone know why iMovie gives a "no device control" error message while importing from the Dazzle AV/DV converter? It will import DV for about 1 minute then disconnect and flash "no device control" then reconnect and you can import for another 30 seconds or so......

I get the SAME error since I upgraded to Tiger. I loose device control of a datavideo DN-100. Once I loose device control, the device freezes and has to be rebooted. Disconnect times vary depending on what I am dooing in the computer. To temporarily "solve" the issues I am using two DAC-100 converters: one to convert to analog and the second to convert back to digital...since there is no "play" control in the converter it captures the clip but I have to operate the player manually and also loose DV break points etc.

I strongly suspect an issue with Tiger drivers since it affects Final Cut and iMovie. I had control with 10.3.9 HELP!

Glad that you had control under Tiger. Last time I was able to get my Hollywood DV-Bridge to work was when I was running Panther.

Now, I get the "No Device Control" message

When I click import, it imports for a bout a second, then quits. Same with trying to go through Toast, it returns an error.

Now that I think about it, I haven't been able to use the Dazzle since I added the 1GHz G4 Ziff upgrade.

I'm having serious trouble with Dazzle on my iMac G5...

I have two firewire devices: 1 Sony DVD Burner and 1 Dazzle Hollywood Bridge (analog/digital converter).

The Sony DVD works ok in both firewire ports and System Profiler (Firewire) shows the hardware, but I can't see the Dazzle in System Profiler.

I connected the Dazzle other Mac (ibook) and the System Profiler shows "Dazzle Hollywood"!

What's wrong?

My System: iMac G5 (rev.B) 1GB RAM - Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.2)
