Import Canon EOS 60D videos to iDVD for burning on Mac
  • One of my friends got a Canon EOS 60D DSLR recently and shot many wonderful videos with it. However, when he copied these video clips to his Mac for playback, his troubles came. Although audio sounds are great, the video is choppy and skips. Choppy playback may be because his computer is underpowered, or overloaded with some other resource intensive application in the background (sometimes antivirus will do this, or the operating system's routine maintenance or search indexing function). Regardless of HD quality, now all he wants to do is to burn these videos to a DVD. The good thing is that playback quality doesn’t effect his conversion and DVD burning. Perhaps when you browse the article, you have the same problem to import EOS 60D videos to iDVD for burning. Now, I will show you the solution.
  • The Canon EOS 60D DSLR records its movies as MOV files using variable bitrates H.264 compression. So, before burning the video clips to DVD, you have to convert them to iDVD friendly format first. You might want to check apple/iMovie support section for Camcorder Models that are supported by iMovie 08 and 09. If it is supported, you can import by using iMovie with editing and finishing touches if you want and then send or share to DVD. If you don't want for that hassle, Canon 60D Video to iDVD Converter can finish the conversion instead.
    Following guide will make you clear about detailed steps for the high speed conversion.
