    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.

Hello Mac users out there,

I have a problem that I cant seem to fix and it's driving me crazy.

A year ago I made a movie with Imovie and burnt it onto Idvd. Not long after I lost my hard-drive and had to replace it, thus losing all of my memory.

I now have a newer up-dated version on my mac and I need to put that dvd back into Imovie. I have been able to use disk utility to make a .dmg and can burn more copies of the movie, but I am unsuccessful at importing the movie back into imovie.

I have read that the .dmg should be recognized as a camera and will be imported but the problem is that when I open imovie I can see the movie clips (and watch them with no audio) but it will not import it. It says there is a problem with the clip. Also I want the audio and it's not working.

It's driving me nuts and I really need this back into Imovie. If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated.

Have you tried ripping the dvd onto your computer as a .mov file? once doing that you can just go into imovie and select file>Import movie
