VCR ->iMovie (with A -> DV convertor) not importing

Relevant hardware/software: iMacG5, OS10.4.2, iMovie HD version 5.0.2, Hollywood DV-Bridge (made by Dazzle) to convert from analog -> DV.

Issue: Used to be able to import from VCR into iMovie with no problem. Used to work great! "Used to." Then lost power. I reconnected everything as before, but receiving "No Camera Attached" message in iMovie when trying to import.

What I've done: I've reconnected every cable. Turned on and off VCR, DV-Bridge. Used various channels (including L1 and L2) in VCR. Tried modes "Pass Through" and "A to D" in DV-Bridge. Rebooted iMac. Reinstalled iMovie. Still get "No Camera Attached" message in iMovie when I try to import.

What's happening now: The VCR and the DV-Bridge (A->DV convertor) seem to be working fine. I get green light on the DV-Bridge when playing VCR (as I'm supposed to), but still get "No Camera Attached" message in iMovie.

What am I missing? Is it something in iMovie (some setting perhaps)?

Please help! Thanks!

iMacG5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)
