    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.

Greetings

I'm importing an hour long movie from my Mini DV camera (Canon MV960). Having imported the various clips and with a view to dragging them to the timeline for editing, as soon as I click on a clip, up pops a window which rather tersely states that it is Letterboxing - please wait. This may take a little while. It certainly does...ages, in fact. Moreover, it seems to gobble up a great deal of my HD space.

Can anyone let me know what's going on? And why?

Previously I have used a Sony mini DV camera without this happening.

Have I missed a setting somewhere?

Cheers Mitcherooney
