Hi again,
that is strange because my mac mini, one of the first ones, i remember that don't have that quartz extreme stuff, at list it doesn't ripple like water on the dashboard... and it always worked with HDV, nowadays i use my macbook (non pro), but at the time it worked without any apparent problem. for me it seems more like some mismatch on the software. if you have a spare external firewire disk you could install clean and try out on a fresh and updated install.
