• 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.

Can a DVD be imported into a Quicktime movie?

There's a couple of short movies I made that for some reason got lost on my external HD, however - they are immortalized on one DVD (and YouTube but there's no way I could get reasonable quality from YouTube even if it was possible to import from there).

I would like to have them back on computer as I would like to make a DVD compilation of my shorts.

Is it possible to import a DVD movie into a Quicktime file?

Many thanks,

CR.

I think Handbrake may solve this problem. It is designed to convert DVD content to something else other than VOB files.
