Confused about DVD+RW on Mountain Lion
I have never messed with DVDs, but am finally to the point where I want to try and transfer my old VHS tapes (family stuff & church sermons - not commercial) to DVD. I have access to borrow someone's DVD recorder and was going to try and record these with DVD+RW just so I could get these into a digital format on my computer hard drive to save. But I am confused as I see the computer came with iDVD but the application doesn't launch as it says its no longer supported for Power PCs, then the next time I tried to launch it to type the message here it says I can't use this version (iDVD 6.0.4) with this version of the OS (why did it come with the computer? LOL)
I still have my older iMac running Snow Leopard which I think can run DVDs on it (it could when it ran Tiger I have never tried it with the upgrade.) I'm assuming if all else fails I can use this older computer.
I am confused though as Mac are usually known for people being able to do extensive film editing etc on them with their videos etc. How is this possible if you have no software? Or can I do this with iMovie?
As you can see I'm clueless about this...
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
