I installed toast 11 and it can make dvd from a video file on the computer. Movies from imovie are blurry and not usable. I was told that I could make a video from a camcorder but the only camcorder it will recognize is and AVCHD camera. So for me to make a movie I guess I have to first put the movie on the computer somehow because it will not recognize my camera software files either. Pretty confusing I made a dvd from MP$ files on my computer and they seem pretty good.
