Q. My dad and I are trying to make a movie and we have video on the camcorder but every time we plug it in, iPhoto just pops up with all of the pictures that are on the camcorder. Any help?
And Little Dog, how do you disable the automatic pop up in iPhoto? I went to preferences but couldn't find it...

A. Which camcorder are you using?
Which Mac are you using?
If you are using a miniDV or Digital 8 tape based camcorder, you need to import the video using firewire. The firewire cable did not come in the box with the camcorder. USB will not work. USB is used ONLY to transfer stills from the memory card.
If you are using a hard disc drive (HDD) or flash memory camcorder, you need to disable iPhoto's "automatic pop-up" (in iPhoto's preferences), and let the HDD or flash memory mount like any other external mass storage device. Copy the files to the Mac - and you probably will need to convert the highly compressed MPEG2 files using StreamClip available from apple's downloads area.
If you are using a DVD based camcorder, you will need a drawer loading DVD drive (I like the ones from LaCie). Download and install HandBrake to rip the video from the finalized DVD. NEVER put a small (8cm) or odd-shaped optical disc in a slot loader...
Analog camcorders (Beta, VHS, VHS-C, Video8, Hi8) with a DSC function will also only transfer photos over USB. You need an analog/digital bridge like those from Canopus to convert from analog to digital video.

Importing videos from camcorder to iMovie issues?
Q. I am trying to upload videos from my camcorder to iMovie on my macbook but when I connect my camcorder (Sony DCR-HC40) to my Mac using the cable the videos that show up are from the memory stick, not the tape that I have in there. I have the camera on the tape setting, not the memory settings. I would appreciate any help I could get! Thanks
