From DVR, to DVD
June 18, 2006
I've been looking for a quick, easy way to import video into my Mac (I know, I could buy a DVD burner that connects to my televisoin, but that's no fun, and I want to cut out commercials, do a bit of cleanup, etc.). I purchased an analog to digital coverter about 2 years ago, and it works pretty well, but I'm afraid the software that accompanies it will eventually become antiquated, I may even need to upgrade the hardware at some point, but I did some digging today and found some resources for importing analog video into iMovie.
Apple has some nice documentation for importing analog video into your Mac.
O'Reilly has a nice tutorial for importing QuickTime movies into iMovie.
Here is a good source if you're looking for an analog to digital video converter reviews from Macworld.
If and when it's time for me to upgrade my DAC, here's what I'm going to buy.

We have a DAC here at work hooked up to a beta cam dec. Do you hook yours right up to your TiVo?

I hook mine directly to the Tivo. It will connect to anything with S-video or RCA plugs. The new ones may even have additional inputs.
