Thanks, Bruce. I was thinking somehow the installer was looking for the right ports - perhaps influenced by the iMovie Read Me that said a requirement was "A built-in FireWire (IEEE1394) port".
I have only two relevant looking extensions called Quicktime Firewire DV support and Quicktime Firewire DV enabler (both off but I will turn on soon), nothing else on or off. Will try these and then if no good search for others ... I am hoping to be able to at least run it (and edit mpeg movies I have on file?).
