Exporting to Video Camera - JVC GR-DVP3

Does anyone know if my camera will work for this? iMovie recognized the camera and the camera recorded but all I got was sporadic colored checkerboard patterns.

Also, is it possible to use the Apple Video Adaptor and record a DVD on a home DVD recorder? If so, how is the quality?

The reason I'm asking these questions is; I have a great looking and playing (on my computer) 72min iMovie. But as yet I can't seem to get a quality finished product. So far iMovie to iDVD has failed (twice), Quicktime produced a horrific movie (Ken Burns shimmering all over and it took me 2 weeks to make the movie and I can't bear the thought of redoing all my photos). And now I'm in the 24th hour of burning a Disc Image (to burn in Toast) and I'm not exactly optimistic. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

imac G5 1.9, 768Mhz, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

connected via firewire, you should see more..

has your project and the camera the same video-standard (NTSC/PAL, 29.97/25fps) ?

besides:
72min project? .. a miniDV cassette fits max. 60min...

concerning shimmer: wait, till you see your project on TV... 😉

Yes, firewire

You're right there is more. Images flash briefly then blue screen, the time counter stutters, no sound, fast forward shows many frames (most with black bands and blocks).

Both NTSC

60min...


I have a Panasonic "Professional" 80min DVC (at SP) miniDV tape. I did notice though that both my attempts to export stopped at about 58min. The camera was set to SP.
