• 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.

I have digitized some of my old movies to imovie on my iMac.

They were taken about 35 years ago, as you can imagine they are grainy and not sharp.

Can iMovie sharpen up old movies, or are there any programs out there that can do this.

Thanks

iMovie has a limited ability to do this.

1. Select a clip or the entire movie in iMovie.
2. Right-click and choose "Video Adjustments."

You'll see your way from there. This will probably only give you minimal improvements, but its a start.

Photoshop Extended or some other more professional video programs may be needed to really help beyond that. Don't expect miracles, in short.
