Today I am doing a project for english and we have to videotape it. We want to edit it on my MacBook and I think we have the right cables and plugs to hook it up, but can MacBooks burn this video on to a DVD? If not is it possilbe to email the movie to someone who has a DVD burner and have them burn it? Please, anything will help.

If the video camera is a mini dv then it can import to iMovie via firewire where you can edit it if you want, otherwise you have some work to do. Then transfer it to iDVD for burning onto a DVD if your Macbook has a DVD burner. To find out if the Macbook has DVD writing capabilities go to Apple menu > About This Mac > More Info > Hardware > Disc Burning and you should see something like this:
Reads DVD:Yes
CD-Write:-R, -RW
DVD-Write:-R, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL
Burn Underrun Protection CD:Yes
Burn Underrun Protection DVD:Yes
Write Strategies:CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
I think if you can import from hi8 video cameras too, not too sure on this though.

Emailing a whole movie would take quite a long time, its a big file, but I think if your using the built in editing software, It should be able to burn it to DVD, as long as you have a DVD drive. HOWEVER, you may not be able to play the movie on windows computers or on dvd players as it might be in a different format.

its fine, you can burn a dvd, and it will be watchable as well. imovie and idvd are self explanatory. Hope this helps!
