• 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 need to transfer some very old VHS-c tapes to DVD. I am new to Macs. I saw a video converter for Macs made by Pinnacle. Its a $100.
says it will download ti I-tunes. I guess then I can burn to a DVD. Is this what I should use? Having someone do it will cost me $20 a tape. I have about 10 with only 15 minutes each. Has anyone used this Pinnacle device? I have a new Mac Book Pro.

Some camcorders you can use as a bridge between a VCR and your Mac. Where you place your camcorder into pass thru mode and then you import in iMovie and start the play option on the VCR.
