Do you use one of those camcorders that records direct to DVD? You may not have to use the cable that came with it to transfer your video to your Mac. After you finish off a DVD, try inserting it into your Mac’s drive with iMovie running. iMovie may recognize the data files on the DVD and provide a handy import wizard to allow you to grab the video.
