From Apple's website:
When using an HD camera
1. If you are using an HD camera and the import immediately stops when you try to import from the camera into iMovie, fast forward a few seconds into the tape and try importing again. If you have recorded over existing footage on the tape that is a different format, this may cause the import to halt. This can happen if there is still residual footage in the other format at the beginning of the tape.
For example, you have recorded 720p HDV footage over DV footage on a tape, but at the beginning of the tape there is still some DV footage that is being read first. iMovie interprets this as a DV project, then halts when it reaches the HDV footage because it does not match the current project format.
2. HD cameras may have a setting for converting or setting the output format transmitted over FireWire. For example, on some Sony models there is a setting for iLink.conv â this should be turned off in order for the camera to communicate properly with iMovie. Consult the documentation which came with your camera for more information.
