ibooks were discontinued since the power pc g4 chips a while back, so “New iBooks” don’t exist. I’m not sure if it’s possible to hack leopard to run on an ibook, but if that is what you have got, it would certianly explain why you’re having trouble.
if you are running a new macbook, or macbook pro, with leopard, you might try using the older version of iMovie (imovie hd) to import your video. (fce and imovie’08 will import the imovie hd project just fine).
other trouble shooting issues are defective firewire cables/connections, displays set to low resolution/ color space.
