• 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 am posting this because it seems to come up alot in the forums that I frequent about macs and video.

I have dtailed how to

1. connect the JVC Everio Hard Drive camcorder to your mac via the included USB cable
2. how to open the hard drive,
3. locate the video files,
4. move them to your desired drive,
5. convert them to dv,
6. import them to iMovie, \
7. basic editing,
8. and export them as a .mp4 or other file format.

this video is about 120 MB, but I wanted the quality to be good enough for you to know exactly what I was doing.

This link should just start letting you download it, if there are issues, let me know.

I'm aware, thanks, I just made this because a lot of people post in here with questions about it.

I made the video to show them exactly how to do it, more for the newbie.
