FYI - Dumping G4 FCP Video to Mac Mini iMovie HD, Using Firewire - FYI
I use a 2x500 G4 running OS X 10.1.5 and Final Cut Pro 3.0.2 because it
works.
Connected to the G4, using Firewire, is a digital video recorder and a
1.42 Mac Mini running 10.4.3 (Tiger).
Tiger and the Mac Mini see all of my Firewire devices (cameras, decks,
a/d converter) that plug into the G4.
For a scratch piece or duplicate video, while using FCP and the G4, I bring
up iMovie HD (5.0.2 (111)) on the Mac Mini, click Import, and click Play
on the G4 FCP Log and Capture window.
This method will also work using iMovie (2.1.1), Quicktime (5.0.2) on the
G4 and iMovie HD (5.0.2 (111)), Quicktime (7.0.3) on the Mac Mini.
