• 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'm new to the Mac world...just got my MacBook Friday, :Oops: and so far I love it. What I'm primarily going to use my MacBook for will be school, and church work. Soon I will need to get some type of presentation software like LiveWorship. What I'm wondering about is a program/software that I can take clips from DVD's to use for presentations, etc.

From what I've read about MacTheRipper, it is good for "ripping" entire DVD's, but can I select specific chapters or even specific parts of a DVD?

If I can rip the entire DVD with MacTheRipper and the pull out different sections of it with iMovie would be cool...(is that the program that comes loaded on the Mac, like I said I've very new to the Mac world! ha!)

Thanks in andvance for the advice!

Please take a look at this post. While it may be legal in your jurisdiction, the forums follow US law and since I don't come close to knowing any US law, I refer you to that post for clarification.

Vansmith's post explains it all.
Nothing more needs to be said.
