Importing movies stopped working
Hi,
I have an iMac with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5. and iMovie 11 (9.0.8)
Until a few days ago I have been able to import movies from my SONY HDR-SR7 videocamera.
Then it happened that during an import the Mac hang and I had to power it off.
After this operation the import operation doesn't work.
First thing I have done has been to visit a friend and check videocamera. I connected it to his iMac and iMovie was able to open the videocamera and shown the movies to be imported.
So came back home, reconnected the videocamera to my iMac and tried again.
The MassStorage device from the VC is mounted and I can browse trough it, all the movies and pictures are there.
IPhoto can open the videocamera and imported the pictures.
From iMovie, when I select Archivio->Import from Videocamera a new window is open for selecting the movies, in the lower part I have Videocamera: Sony Camcorder, but the window title is ISight Camera: Import from iSight Integrata.
I noticed that when I select Import from VideoCamera in the /var/log/messages file I have some error entries (I have attached them at the end)
I have tried to check the root filesystem and it found several hard link errors. So I booted in Recovery Mode and run the Repair procedure, that was successful.
After that the error was still present, so I reinstalled the Lion Os and reapplied all the latest update. Same error.
As last attempt I have tried to delete the iMovie installation and reinstalled iLife 11. Same problem.
Any suggestion? Any further check/thing to do?
Many thanks in advance
Giorgio
