• 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.

Home videos to youtube?

I have a lot of home video footage that I really want to get on my computer to edit and play around with so I can make my mom a present for her birthday. My video camera is olllld as as far as I know has 0 cords with it. We have a mixture of VHS tapes (from the old school HUGE video camera) and the mini tapes that fit the one we have now. How can I get these onto the computer without spending a fortune having someone else do it?

I'm not exactly computer literate so you guys are gonna have to help me out here. Thanks!

As far as the VHS tapes... I would think the best thing would be to get one of THESE, get them burned to DVD, then rip them to you mac, and uplaod to YouTube.


Are the "mini tapes" Mini-DV???
