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.

Congrats on your iMac, and welcome to the forums!
You should need a firewire cable, or USB cable. Most likely a USB cable came included with your video camera. However, you will most likely need to purchase a firewire cable separately.
These can be found at any tech place, such as Best Buy, Radioshack, Circuit City, or the Apple store.

You need a 6pin to 4pin firewire cable. USB is not an option for miniDV cameras. The big stores tend to rip you off so if you have a local small dealer you might find a better deal there.
