Looks like I’m not the only one having this issue cause I thought I broke the camera.
I’ve tried the exact steps as well on both Tiger and Leopard with no avail. I’ve attempted in Final Cut as well as IMovie 08,09.
One thing I did notice though is that it looks like the systtem just doesn’t recognize the camera. If you go to Apple> About this Mac> and look at the Firewire settings it doesn’t even detect the camera as a device. I know this works because I tried this with my GL2 and it connects fine.
