• 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.

Is it possible to convert hi8 video to AVI or MPEG, then onto a DVD? If so, how?

Though I'm not sure, maybe the use of a mastering tape like mentioned in this article helps

Yes, it's possible, using an AV-converter (ADS, El Gato, Formac make them...and Dazzle used to). You basically use the RCA and/or S-Video input on the unit, and (preferably) a FireWire output from the unit to your Mac. You can capture the footage using iMovie, or the software that comes w/ (some of) the AV Convertors.
