Videos from a Panasonic vdr-d100 onto iMovie 09?
Beauch
I need to make a video for school, but I don't know how to get my recorded clips from my Panasonic VDR-D100 onto iMovie 09. I have it hooked up to my Mac, and then a pop-up asked what I would like to open it with, so I chose iMovie 09. iMovie opens up, but I can't find any of my recorded clips! Were are they located?
Answer
The Panasonic VDR-D100 is a consumer grade DVD based camcorder.
Setting the expectation: The video captured by this type of consumer camcorder was NEVER menat to be edited.
1) Finalize the disc in the camcorder. The instructions to do this are in the camcorder's manual.

NOTE: the small, 8cm, DVDs cannot be used in any slot loading DVD drive. While you did not tell us which Mac, most Macs have only a built-in slot loader. The only drawer-loading DVD drives came in the tower Macs...
2) Connect a drawer loading DVD drive to the Mac. I like those from LaCie. There are many others.
3) Download and install HandBrake from www.handbrake.fr - It is a DVD ripper.
4) After the disc is finalized in the camcorder, take it out and put it in the drawer loading DVD drive. Launch HandBrake and rip the video. A MOV or MP4 format will be useful to iMovie. After the rip is complete, quit HandBrake, launch iMovie and drag the ripped video/audio to the iMovie Project area.
The USB cable you used to connect the camcorder to the Mac will access ONLY the flash meomry card - which can only store stills, not video. This is why you can't find any of the "recorded clips". The other reason is because iMovie cannot deal with unfinalized files - and it cannot deal with VOB files. That's why you need HandBrake. The clips are on the DVD...
