How to transfer video from a camcorder DVD using the DVD-ROM drive in an Apple Macintosh computer.

Follow these steps to transfer video from a camcorder DVD using the DVD-ROM drive in an Apple Macintosh computer.

IMPORTANT:

• The DVD must be finalized in the camcorder prior to beginning this procedure. Refer to your owner's manual for detailed information on the procedure to finalize a disc using the camcorder.
• Do not use an 8cm CD adapter with the 8cm DVD. Doing so may cause a malfunction. If the DVD-ROM drive does not support an 8cm disc, use the USB transfer procedure instead.

Note: This solution only applies to DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-R recorded with a DVD Handycam camcorder. Copying movie files from copyright-protected DVDs is not supported.
