    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.

Hi, I've been having problems with compressing video in iMovie. I'm trying to compress a 10 minute video, and I've been waiting a while and it says "Estimated time 145 minutes" and it just keeps going. Is this normal?
