How can I take a camcorder video and write it directly to a DVD with iMovie?
Friday, June 19, 2009 / Software
Hi Jacob,
Is there a way, using iMovie/iDVD, to simply take a camcorder video and write it directly to a DVD (for archival purposes) without going through any intermediate editing steps?
- Thanks, Don
There most certainly is a way to make a simple DVD directly from your camcorder. It is called an “OneStep DVD” When you open iDVD, and are asked to pick an action, chose OneStep DVD. You will then be asked to connect your Camcorder via FireWire and then Click OK. Just insert a blank DVD and walk away, letting your Mac do the rest.
