• 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.

Newbie question: I am fairly new to Mac's and I just recently bought a Canon HV20, I want to put my recordings on a DVD but don't know where to start. Do I just copy and paste? Do I use iMovie 08 even thought I won't be doing any editting for now? Any help in response to these questions would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks,

Your Mac's Specs
iMac Core Duo 20", iBook G4, iPhone 8GB :)
Just connect your Corder to the the Mac via Firewire. Then fire up iMovie (yeah, you gotta use this although I think iDVD can also burn directly). Just import it there, crop out stuff you don't need and then send to iDVD from there directly.
