skinnyshrek 0 #1 August 21, 2006 What is the best dvd burner 16X speed that is compatable for the Imac computer.It has to be an external burner. Also, how long does it usually take for the computer to recognise the camcorder. I have the firewires all connected right yet it still has not recognised the Pc!http://www.skydivethefarm.com do you realize that when you critisize people you dont know over the internet, you become part of a growing society of twats?

freeflydrew 0 #2 August 21, 2006 turn the camcorder onto playback, rather than record, open imovie, switch the imovie interface to camera mode and it should recognize the camera... OtherWorldComputing sells dvd-rw drives that you can put in your imac, and also external drives http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/optical-drives/superdrives/ I don't know which is the best though...

skinnyshrek 0 #3 August 22, 2006 I need an external one as its the imac with all the features just has a monitor and a keyboard need to externally firwire everything. I figured the problem. I was using usb instead of firewirehttp://www.skydivethefarm.com do you realize that when you critisize people you dont know over the internet, you become part of a growing society of twats?

skinnyshrek 0 #5 August 22, 2006 especially the 16X speed. I know the discs are slightly more expensive but the speed is worth it.http://www.skydivethefarm.com do you realize that when you critisize people you dont know over the internet, you become part of a growing society of twats?
