I have been beating my brains out over this. Even called Apple and offer no help. I have a Macbook running 10.5x. 2 gigs ram. I had all of my home movies put on DVD's. When I play them in my DVD player they look fine. if I rip the DVD then load in itunes and then sync to my appleTV it's blurry and blocky and looks horrible. I've tried Handbrake but it keeps freezing when I try two pass encoding. It never makes it past the first pass. The Apple tech told me to mount the DVD as a disk image and then import to imovie 09. It doesn't work. imovie will not recognize it. I've tried various other ripping software on trial basis and they all stink like wondershare, rip it, etc.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction here? It seems it should not be this difficult. I also have a bunch of DV on my HDD camcorder that I'd like to import and burn to a DVD. Same thing happens. I import to imovie, edit it and then burn a DVD using idvd and it looks horrible.
I'm very frustrated at this point and have done as much research on this subject as I can.
Thank you in advance. Also I'm not looking for a free solution. I'll gladly pay for software if it works.
