• 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.

I have a two part question. We recently bought a JVC Everio MG670 (Hard Drive based - Standard Definition).
1. If I record a single movie on my camcorder, what is the fastest/easiest way to get that movie to a DVD in a format that my DVD player will recognize
2. If I record a bunch of small movies on my camcorder, what is the fastest/easiest way to do the same.

I have iMovie 7.1.4 and iDVD 7.0.4

My understanding is that I have to use iMovie to import the movie and to convert it to a format that iDVD can use. Then I make the movie with iDVD. I have been using this method so far, but it seems to be ridiculously slow and more complicated than a Mac should be.
Thanks so much
Matt
