• 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.

Video Converting Problems

I took a video on my digital camera with audio and video, of course. I want to be able to convert the file so I can edit on iMovie. I have already done this previously with videos from my phone and changed the format of them to .mov on RealBean but now I can't do it with my digital camera. The video I want to convert is in a .mov format but I cannot upload it onto iMovie so I can edit it. Please help!

Thanks,
Logan

Use Handbrake to convert the camera videos to the Apple Universal format. That should allow you to import the videos into iMovie while maintaining the original's quality.
