iMovie 4.0.1 - Can import, but can't export to tape. Help!
I can import footage from my Sony Digital8 camcorder fine, just like always. But when I try to export it to tape (the same one I just imported from) my iMac gives me an error message that I have lost my connection. I click on the "Import" button on the screen, and it can still import footage fine. The write protect tab is not extended so I should be able to export to tape just as in earlier versions of iMovie. Also, I still have absolutely no problem kicking the iMovie project to iDVD and burning it to DVD. Just seems to be an export (actually "Share") from the menu problem. Keep re-checking all my iMovie preferences and they all seem to be set correctly. I get the same error message from all four possible camcorder/computer combinations. (I have two different Sony Digital8 camcorders, and two different Macs.)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
As always, thanks in advance!

I usually just burn to DVD using iDVD. But infrequently I want to export back to DV tape. I never had any problem previously. I think this may be the first time I have attempted to export back to DV tape since upgrading to iMovie 4 earlier this year. I'm wondering if it is just somehing flukey with iMovie 4 and my camcorder which did not exist in iMovie 3?
