Is there any way to transfer video from a Sony DVD Camcorder to IMovie?

"The Missing Manual鈥擨Movie 6 and IDVD" states that they are incompatable. I am wondering if since this book was published they have created the necessary connection (something similar to Firewire) to now make it possible to load movies from this camera to my Mac.

We would really like to get our daughter's movies on our computer and be able to edit them in IMovie......Thank You

nj_nyc is correct - BUT only if your mac uses a drawer-loading optical drive.

If your Mac has a slot loading optical drive, NEVER put a miniDVD in that drive. You will end up breaking the drive and scratching the disc. You should either get an external drawer loading drive (like http://www.lacie.com/us/products/range.h... )
OR
use the AV cables that came with the camcorder and get an analog/digital bridge from Canopus http://canopus.com/products/videoconvers... and transfer they video over firewire.

Finalize the DVD in the camcorder.

Take DVD to your Mac.

Rip the files to your hard drive.

Edit with program that understands DVD file structure.
