• 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.

Newbie here - I tried importing the same one minute clip at the two different available sizes (Large & Full) and want to compare the file sizes. Can't figure how to. I can 'get info" AFTER they've been exported to various sizes, but I'm curious about the size of the 'raw' imported footage.

The actual movie files are in your
'~/username/Movies/iMovie Events' folder. You could just go there and check them out in the Finder. The names are long and obtuse, but they do contain the date and time I believe. Just do a get info on those. You should be able to quick look them to verify they are the clips you were interested in.
