iMovie
Hello everyone:
I am using an older Sony DCR-DVD203 video camera that records to an 8 cm mini DVD disc. I have version 9.0.9 of iMovie. Using the USB cable supplied with the cam, when I connect to my computer with iMovie open it auotmatically imports the movies, so long as I have recorded on a DVD-R disc (finalized). However when I use a DVD-RW disc (VR format), even though finalized, I can not get it to import. The mini DVD shows up on my desktop, and the contents are:
folder: DVD_RTAV
files: VR_MANGR.BUP
VR_MANGR.IFO
VR_MOVIE.VRO - (This file plays on VLC)
I am trying to figure out how to convert the contects of the DVD-RW mini disc so that I can get it into iMovie. I've found a number of messages from the 2006-07 time frame suggesting use of various programs to accomplish this. These include:
QuickTime Pro
Toast
Image Mixer
DVDxDV
MPEG Streamclip
Handbrake
iSquint
However, since this information is now quite old, I am wondering what might be more current on converting so that I can import into my latest iMove. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks - Randy
