Video capture - convert video to dvd

[ppentertainments]

Not DJ related but I have loads of family videos I would like to put onto DVD. Preferably using a mac.
Not sure what capture card or software to use.

Any advice ??

Cheers

I use muvee reveal for any videos as i can cutom the the music to image and video but ive only used it on windows but im sure its on Mac its a usefull and easy peice of software, it lets you know if music/pics/video is to long for each other etc

Ie: If your doing a slideshow of images and add music it says that there is 10 images to many or less for the music loaded etc etc etc

and built-in iMovie & iDVD is more than adequate. I've done literally hundreds this way.

Use the iGrabber to suck in the video as .mov's, open them directly in iMovie for editing, write them out as MP4's (H.292) and then you can drag & drop them into iDVD as chapters or as titles.

Or, as I do, skip the MP4 step and write them out as Apple TV compatible, stick them on a NAS box and access them directly across the network from Apple TV boxes - no discs required.

I can't recommend anything specifically Mac-based but, for a PC-based solution, then I'd recommend you check out Pinnacle especially the Dazzle which will do exactly what you want, albeit on a PC.

Bit irrelevant when you read Chris's requirements though, Martin:

I shan't bother in future.

Apologies if I've caused any offence there, Martin. I maybe should have added a smiley. I did type out some extra wording relating to your enduring love of Apple products (as I have done several times in the past) but upon reading it back it wasn't worded very well so I deleted it. The result was a post that wasn't how I'd intended it to be.

Yeah, me too

I use roxio easy VHS to DVD for MAC. Really easy to use. Comes complete with a USB dongle. Takes RCA video feed and left and right audio. You can then either edit into QuickTime or iMovie. Only about £70 and has helped me with loads of quick fixes.
