I am trying to import some old analog video from a Sony Handycam Hi8 camcorder. I was having this problem off and on with PD8 so this is nothing new but with PD8 I just kept trying and it finally worked sporatically. Now I have PD9 and am having the same issues. I captured about 30 minutes of a tape with no problems. I stopped the tape to break up the segments and when I started importing again I started to get the message "this movie is copyright-protected. Recording is prohibited." This is NOT copyright material - it is home video we made from years ago. I would have thought that maybe it was a camcorder problem but why would it let me capture 30 minutes of a tape with no problems then all of a sudden shutdown? It is the same tape, too. There is nowhere on the camcorder to possibly turn this off and the tape is not write-protected.

Anyone have any ideas?
