<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; "><DIV>I have a new Sony HVR A1P professional camcorder (miniDV tape) that I am trying to connect to a MacBookPro (OSX 10.4.9, 2.33GHz processor, 2GB/90GB drive) using iMovie HD (6.0.3) as I have a video recording from which I want to extract the audio. iMovie HD seems to have trouble importing from this camera; there is no sound during import but when the imported clip is played back in iMovie there is sound and image but it is at a slower speed than real time. I've trawled through the iMovie HD help website and discussion lists but no one seems to have anything relevant to say about this. The recording was made in normal SP mode HDV1080i. A colleague on a similar Mac laptop but with a different new Sony HD camera (consumer level camcorder) has a similar problem with iMovie HD- the video is only imported at half speed and then only plays back at half speed. Any ideas anyone?</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Murray Garde</DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px; ">Dr Murray Garde</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px; ">ARC Linkage Postdoctoral Fellow</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px; ">School of Languages and Linguistics</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px; ">University of Melbourne</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px; ">Summer address (October to April):</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px; ">PO Box 616 Nimbin NSW 2480, Australia</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px; ">Mid year address (May to September)</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px; ">PO Box 68 Jabiru NT 0886</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px; ">Jabiru: 08-89793113</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px; ">mobile 0439685381</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px; ">office 02-66891914</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
