My video footage is scattered in 2-3 tapes and i want to arrange them all in one. I was thinking to capture them in my PowerBookG4 via iMovieHD (6.0.3) and then record back all the footage (captured video) in the sequence i want, to one tape...
Is this possible and how?

p.s.
Note that i want to capture and write back to the tape the uncompressed dv format and not mpeg.
 
Yes, I believe so. Do you have a Firewire cable to connect your camcorder to your PowerBook?

1. Connect them, put the camcorder into VCR mode, and import the video from the tapes. The video will be put into the clips area. (We're talking about iMovie HD, here.)
2. Arrange the video onto the timeline as you want it, adding transitions, titles and effects as desired.
3. And this is the part I haven't done personally, but I believe you click Share or Export and select the option to record it on your MiniDV tape. I'm not in front of my Mac right now so I can't check to see exactly what it's called.

I believe the steps are basically the same. I used, I think iMovie 2 and 3 before I used iMovie HD. Import all the footage you want, arrange it along the timeline at the bottom, and export (or share or whatever it's called) it out to tape.
