[MacDV] Transfer of Home Burned DVD to iMovie

[Brett Conlon]

Agreed, but this assumes that Juan has in his posession some sort of an 
analogue to DV converter. Juan didn't explain what his external burner is 
but if it is a home DVD player/recorder then he may have plugged the VHS 
into the DVD burner via RCA jacks and recorded directly to DVD.

Juan, you'll need a DV bridge of some sort. There are dedicated analogue 
to DV bridges available or you can use a DV camcorder as a play-thru 
device.

Then use iMovie to capture to your hard drive.

Cheers,

Coj

You are going about it in the wrong order, it would have been easier 
to import the VHS tape to iMovie, edit and then burn the DVD.  By 
doing it the way you are you have added an extra video compression 
stage which will take away from the final quality of your video.
