JVC camera

Hi

I'm not familiar with - JVC Evio records in .MOV/.MOI formats - but

I would first try to get it into iMovie'08 or 09

Then in iMovie Share to DVD or publich to media browser

Then close iMovie

Open iDVD

Import movie from media browser (audio/photo/video)

JVC released the Quicktime Components update:

which should take care of TOD files playing in Quicktime, but:

The answer to your question depends on which model JVC camcorder you have.

Here are a few basics:
1. If you have a JVC HD Everio that records in the AVCHD high definition file format (.mts file extension), and you have an Mac with an Intel processor, (sound like you do) running iMovie '08 or '09, then it should be no problem. Simply connect the camcorder via USB and launch iMovie.

2. If you have a slightly older JVC HD Everio that records MPEG2 high definition (.tod file format), then it is easiest if you record in the special 1440CBR mode, and transfer your video to your Mac using an i.Link (Firewire Connection) using the "Playlist Dubbing" process which is explained in your owner's manual.
