Interlaced video from DCR-IP7E to AppleMac (I-Movie 09)

[crsw123]

I have a mini tape DCR-IP7E which I have been downloading old tape to my Apple computer using a firewire. This worked and edited well with I- Movie 08. However I upgraded to I-Movie 09 for its extra functionality and found that the source video is now heavily interlaced and I can no longer edit my tapes.

The only way I have been able to make this work is to create a movie using the interlaced source video and then export it to Quicktime turning on the deinterlacing function. However the quality of the movie really suffers so this is not a workable solution. Any better ideas gratefully received! Many thanks

Your problem  in iMovie 09 sounds like a Interlacing Effect or Combing.

Check in 9 what Frame-Rate you are using 25F.P.S.

When opening iMovie 09 did you configure your camcorder with the new software? also have you updated any new downloads in iMovie.
