• 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.

Have you tried setting the project settings to 60fps?

To be 100% honest, I can't answer how - my guess would be in one of two places (I don't use iMovie and don't have iMovie '09 on the computer I'm on atm - I had read a thread where someone mentioned a setting so I figured I'd through it out there) -

The two places are:

1) Right click on your project, and select Project Properties

2) If it's an overall method of operation, click the iMovie menu (at the top next to the apple icon) and select preferences.

Hopefully the setting is in there somewhere.

I honestly didn't think (and still can't 100% confirm) that iMovie would work with 720p60 footage; but I had read a couple of forum entries elsewhere that it can - so either they were wrong or I'm wrong and it really can.
