• 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.

Hello,

Trying to transfer the video on my camcorder over to my Mac. I have a firewire cable and all, but I'm stuck on software. Everything I've read says to use iMovie, which I'd very much like to do, but I have an older Mac, and iMovie doesn't work. I captured it with Quicktime Pro, but it was of very poor quality. Any suggestions for software or anything that I could use? Thanks

What is your Mac model and power? What version of iMovie are you trying to use on it? Do you have your install discs that came with the machine?
