I just got a Canon HD camcorder with a USB connection. When I start iDVD it seems to only want a firewire connection and doesn't recognize my camcorder. Is there a fix/workaround. iMovie works fine with the USB. I only want iDVD for one thing. I just want to be able to dump the contents of the HDD to a DVD in it's simplest form.

The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.
Therefore to clarify:
- You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
- This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
- You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
- You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

If the camera mounts and looks like a drive, then try inserting a DVD and dragging the contents to it and choose burn in the Finder. Remember the DVD may be too small for all of the content. Test out how it works before removing the content from the camera.
iDVD is meant to create a DVD like you buy from Hollywood. Depending on the camera codec, you likely need something like iMovie to convert the content to a codec (file type) that iDVD can understand.
