• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I know lots of folks have asked this - on lots of blogs. In I-Movie '09 can you trim 10 minutes of footage down to less (i.e. 3 minutes) and then actually keep ONLY the 3 minutes that you trimmed to form a new movie and save space by deleting the rest?

First, it is iMovie, not I-Movie.

Type the word, reject, into the search box of the Help menu. Choose "Deleting unwanted video clips fr..".

Oddly, I tried that method and iMovie would not let me actually delete the clip. It is suppose to cut what you send to the trash out of your clip, and when you empty the trash using the Finder, you free up disk space.
