Does anyone know if iLife 08 imports A1 footage without the earlier patch from Apple?

What patch?

With the previous version of iLife, you had to purchase a download from Apple for the program to recognize the the camera. I may be wrong, but I thought that was the way it was. Just looking for a confirmation that this is no longer required.

That is INTERESTING!

Not me.
From iMovie HD, the A1 has been recognized all the time without downloading any patch.
(But when capturing from FCE, I have to disconnect anything but the camera from the FW bus).

Today I plugged my new A1 into a tired old PowerBook and iMovie HD saw it just fine. Would only capture at 1/8 speed, but that's the fault of the slow processor. Otherwise it worked.

Maybe that is what I was trying to remember, not sure. Anyway, I haven't tried to download any footage from my A-1 because I didn't think it would work without the $50.00 purchase. I've been saving my pennies for the new suite.
