• 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.

Mac Mini/Canon HF200 compatible?

Greetings ...
I'd like to shoot and edit HD video on my Mac Mini, but am wondering if it's up to the task. (My MM--purchased in July, upgraded to Snow Leopard specs: Intel Core 2 Duo / 2 GHz / 1GB of memory--can be bumped up to 2).
The camera I'm looking at is the Canon VIXIA HF200 (which Apple has blessed by offering on their retail site.)
I'm not planning anything too fancy (in terms of effects), and would like to use iMovie 09 and then rip with iDVD.
I haven't edited anything since the old days of standard VHS on my G4, so I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by conflicting messages.
So, can these 2 work together successfully?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Douglas
