[QUOTE="MacAddikt, post: 10754, member: 27"] i wouldn't suggest using DVD Studio pro if all this stuff is new to you. It's a complex application that takes a while to learn. I cant tell you much more cause im still learning on it and I've been working with it for about half a year now. what i suggest though, is getting Quicktime Pro (outdated link removed) ($30) so you can convert the .avi files to a format that you can import into iMovie if you want to edit it, or to a .mov if you want to import it into iDVD. its also nice to have to converting audio clips and the extra features are nice for watching videos on it. if you still have the video on tape, and a DV camera with firewire outputs, then i would highly suggest importing from the camera to iMovie to get the best quality. Then, it'll be easy to edit in iMovie. Just play around with the tools in iMovie. its really easy to figure out, and if you have any questions just ask. Ive become really proficient with video editing in the last few years iDVD is a must too if you want to make a DVD after editing the movie with iMovie. they work seamlessly together. iDVD is an easy drag and drop dvd application where you can make your own titles, chapter selections and more. it has themes and is also easy to learn by just playing around in it [URL='https://www.roxio.com/en/']Toast 6[/URL] is out now and works great. I'm not sure if you'll really need this since you will be using iDVD to make the movies. it is nice to have if you don't have the space to keep all the iDVD and iMovie data (which can usually be upwards of 10-15GB) and then you can just copy the DVDs through there. OS x and DVD extractor wont do much for you when it comes to your home movie project, but i use OS x when i need to rip the video and audio tracks off a dvd i no longer have the footage to divx doctor is kinda a waste. its never worked well for me. i personally prefer [URL='http://videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html']VLC[/URL] for watching .avi's and other formats not supported by quicktime. it works great [/QUOTE]
