Hello ANNEBEER - welcome to the Sony Forums

Could you please let me know which version of iMovie you are using and whether you are seeing a particular error message?

Thanks,

Simon

Hello again

Thanks for the extra info. You have mentioned that nothing is showing up in iMovie, does anything show up on the main screen i.e. when plugging in via USB, does the device itself appear as a disc drive / external device? Alternatively, once the DVDs have been finalised in the camera, can you view them after inserting them into the DVD drive? If either of these situations occur, there will be some software based options for getting this data in iMovie.

Thanks,

Simon

Simon,

When i plug it in via usb it opens up my i photos (i guess from my memory card in camera) but thats it, it doesnt seem to reconise the disk in camcorder at all?

Thanks so far!

Anne
