    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.

Hi,

I am new to Mac and apologize if this is a very simple question. I have searched through the posts and couldn't find an answer to my question.

I have a new MacBook Pro with the iMovie software it came with. I have .avi footage that I want to make into a movie, and iMovie will not recognize the .avi files. What do I need to do?

Thanks!!!

Try the iSkysoft.com website and have a look. I use their video convertor to change avi into mp4 for my iPod Touch, but they do other stuff as well.

I've never had a problem with any iSkysoft software so would recommend them.
