 Capturing using iMovie "Tx2" wrote in message T... A friend of mine has just purchased a Mac Mini and is getting rather excited about the way he can capture footage off his DV camera, and play it on his telly in "such good quality, it looks like HD".... Are there any drawbacks in using a MAC OS to capture this way, such as peculiarities with the format which can't then be transferred to media such as DVD? I think he is using something called 'iMovie'? I've no experience whatsoever of the Mac, but he is getting so excited by it all, i'm starting to consider investigating further. It's Apple's own proprietry video editor. The reviews here may help: http://www.macworld.com/2006/01/revi...ehd6/index.php http://www.macworld.com/2006/02/revi...d601/index.php I don't think it can do anything special that recent 3rd-party video editors can't do, on either the Mac or PC platform. I think of it as a kind of souped-up equivalent of Windows Movie Maker, but it does have a lot more support for different formats (but I'd expect that in any non- free software.  HTH, -- Rob   |
