James C Unregistered	I've been interested in purchasing a DVD and VHS recorder. I was just wondering if it's possible to burn data to a DVD inside the DVD/VHS recorder from your Mac via USB or FireWire. If it's possible, could you direct me to where I find a model like this.

Here are a few: SAMSUNG USB2.0 Slim External 8X DVD Drive 8X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 6X 8X DVD-ROM 24X CD-ROM $64.99 There are more at http://www.newegg.com just do a search for external dvd burner. Unless you want the VHS part too. I don't know if you can with those.

James C Unregistered	Well I'd like the capability to dub from VHS etc. Is it possible to use DVD/VHS recorders and attach it to a Mac?

James C Unregistered	I was just curious about this, that's all. I'd like to have the ability to burn DVDs, back up data on DvDs and dub movies, etc on to DVDs from VHS all in one.

Then import into iMovie and then burn with iDVD. You could run the VHS straight to the camcorder. If your camcorder supports pass through feature then no need to record on camcorder but just record on your Mac. The camcorder just reads the data and passes it through w/o recording it. _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/ ==== It appears that autocorrect has become my worst enema. ---

NucleusG4 MasterBlaster Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 8338 Loc: Miami, Fl.	There are devices out there will take the connections from a number of different devices and interpret it for/into your Mac. My way was better (for me) since I didn't have to buy anything and wasn't going do it often enough to warrant buying more hardware. _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/ ==== It appears that autocorrect has become my worst enema. ---
