• 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.

Is there a certain movie format that imovies will accept as input to new project? I have tried files that Quicktime Player can read but imovie rejects them.
Thanks,
Jack

What version of iMovie are you using?

What version of QuickTime Player are you using?

Open one of the problem videos in QuickTime Player, then use Command-I to see the specs on the file and report those to us too.

iMovie likes DV and MP4 format. It can accept *certain kinds* of AVI files as well.
