Had bought a new Macbook Pro, to get me into this platform after years and years on that other one.
Later got myself this new JVC Everio-G hard-disk camcorder.
You'd think JVC offered you some good software to accommodate their product - for the Mac, as their box claims. No such thing! They rely on your smarts to use it in conjunction with other Apple products. But that's the thing I'm stuck at, namely, not knowing how to integrate the whole works to simply create a DVD - the normal and expected outcome. They DO supply Windows users, mind you, with that one product that does this all for you (but it's got to be XP, or die!).
I've now tried Toast, but I had problems with that because the sound ws not continuous as was the film. Every second or so was muted out. So there went a lot of resources down the tube, including time.
then there was ffpg&$! or whatever it's called - that was for guys who live this stuff and breathe it. To me it was Chinese. I should have known by the name they chose. Then there is this Burn, but reading what it does tells me I need to still rely on Apple products. I did try the stuff on my Mac, iDVD, but it too is a hard obstacle to figure out - let alone IF it can do it.
Mind you -- I've been with computers well over 30 years, so if I've got problems, so do many others.
While I lived on Microsoft, Nero did do the trick for me - although it took a light year.
