    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.

I'm not sure what you are saying. If the source is from a video camera then I would expect nice results. Perhaps posting a frame will help us understand the issue. Perhaps you need to deinterlace the video.

See my iMovie Export Guide for possible help.

I think the static is caused by bad lighting. The bright background is causing the metering to be thrown off. In fact I think some light from a source behind you is scattering onto the camera lens too.

I'm not sure what the audio problem is. It didn't sound like the sound of a hard drive, so I suspect a remote source, maybe an air conditioner or fridge. Trying changing rooms and close the door. These mics can pick up a lot.

YouTube has some tips including lighting. I'm sure you can find more from general users and via Google.
