imovie 9.0.8 built in isight capture stops after 10 seconds.

I work for a school and have about 20 macbook laptops that wont capture anyhing longer than 10 seconds in imovie using the built in iSight camera. The program works fine except for this. Then after the capture stops the camera flickers in imovie. If i use photobooth it captures just fine.



i am a apple certified tech but this one seems to have stumped me.


These are the steps i have tried so far.


Reset Pram

Reset SMC

Deleted non necessary quicktime components

Deleted imovie plist - com.apple.iMovieApp.plist

i have run all the system updates

i have run the disk utility repair disk permisions

reset the isight camera cable.

Tested with KGB memory

Verified issue is still there on diffrent accounts ( standard and administrator )
