I recently helped a friend with a video project that required importing video created with a Mini-DVD camcorder. The software that came with the camcorder was absolutely horrible and didn’t really work. I didn’t have a lot of time to spend as this project was due the following day, so I skipped trying to import the movie to Windows Movie Maker. I decided to use iMovie ’09 on my MacBook Pro. I couldn’t just use the Mini-DVD’s directly because the MBP has an auto-loading drive. As a result, I had to create ISO’s on a PC and then transfer them to the MBP. Importing video from an ISO is done in two easy steps. First is to mount the ISO of the drive. Then inside iMovie, simply go to File, Import, Camera Archive, then choose the mounted ISO. I guess my point of this is to say, why can’t all software be this awesome and user-friendly.
