I am glad someone finally "labeled" the phenomena of distorted video exporting as "dancing Leggo blocks" as that is what is appears to be. I am running iMovie on my pb 2400/112/400mhz/10gig/RATOC firewire with a Sony PC 1 mini DV camcorder. Everything works fine for importing, editing, etc., but I can not export back to the camcorder without the "dancing leggo blocks" showing on the video portion with the sound also distorted. As many other listers have mentioned I have gone through the process of eliminating all but the essential extensions, optimized the 10 gig internal hard drive; tried other software packages: iMovie 1 and 2 with upgrades Edit DV unplugged as well as full version Adobe Premiere all to no avail. What did work was to take my Sony PC 1 camera (along with firewire cable) to Comp USA, plug into their demo 400 mhz iMac; opened iMovie 2; uploaded a clip of my movie; played it back and then exported back to my Sony PC 1 and everything worked fine! As much as I hate to admit it, I am afraid my pb 2400, even with the 400mhz upgrade, won't hack the exporting of DV without loss of frames as indicated by the "dancing Leggo blocks." I am currently bidding on an iMac 500mhz (30 gig) SE DV, 256mb on ebay as, presumably, that will resolve my DV exporting problems, not to mention, with the 128 ATI built in rage card, I can use Final Cut Pro.
