Sony handycam HDR-CX700 suddenly isn't recognized in iMovie '11.

Hi -

I have a Sony Handycam HDR-CX700 which up until a few days ago, uploaded to iMovie '11, MAC OS 10.6.8 just fine.

I have about 13 new vids to upload, but when I connected camera as usual and used the "Import from camera" function, just one movie came up in iMovie - a vid from last December, and none of the others.

I have been through every configuration/every possible scenario - restarting, using "Disc burn" instead of "USB connect" - making sure camcorder is plugged in. Booting up iMovie first, then plugging camera in. Or plugging camera in, then booting up iMovie. Hours and hours and hours. You know the drill! 🙂

When I plug the camera into my PC, the vids upload to view, but they come out .MTS if I import them, which is a total pain to transfer to a format iMovie will recognize.

Anyway, it's important to figure out why the movies won't upload anymore in iMovie for the future, rather than getting around a sudden glitch that adds another step.

Thanks in advance.

Regards - Me!
