• 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.

1. YouTube submissions are limited to 10 minutes.

2. If you are not CLEARLY the owner of the copyright of the contents of that DVD, expect it to be pulled and you might find yourself banned. I'm not saying you're doing anything wrong, I'm saying check yourself before you wreck yourself. :)

3. So now that we've cleared those hurdles -- what you need is a program that will convert MPEG-2 (the native format of video DVDs) back into something you can (edit? and) bring into iMovie. I suggest Handbrake.

From iMovie, a video can be uploaded directly; a couple of clicks, a little typing, you're done. You can also upload a video directly to YouTube via a web browser but it still has to be converted from MPEG-2 first.
