iMovie/firewire problem (help?)
I have tried every way of connecting it via firewire. It worked under 9.x awhile ago. Now, I do not have the OS9 version of iMovie anymore. Am I missing something obvious?
I have checked for drivers, plugged it in various ways, turned it off/on, etc. I should mention that when I run Apple System Profiler in OSX it makes no mention of firewire under devices and volumes!!! Is there a way of disabling the extension is OSX like there is in 9.x? Could it have been disabled?
WTF.

I have a Canon ZR20 and iMovie has no problem recognizing it. The drivers are already built-in. I assume that you rebooted in OS X, checked all cables, and swapped out firewire ports?
I think there is a problem with OSX recognizing the firewire bus. It doesn't come up in the profiler like my imac at work does.
How could that have happened? Is there a way to deactivate firewire?
Do other firewire devices connect properly at home?

Thoughts?
Not in every case mind a typical case was when a well known Monitor and Periphal Manufacture made its FireWire CD-RW's bus powered.
Loads of people had to send their machines back to apple under warranty!!!
They rectified the problem and started issuing PSU leads !!!
