• 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 plan to buy a Kodak Zi8 pocket camcorder and download the video to iMovie '11. My question is : If I do this through a converter will I lose any video quality? Which converter will work best?

You shouldn't need any converter...iMovie 11 will automatically convert to AIC for editing in iMovie 11. I have a Kodak Playsport...my files need no converting.

I just take the card out...put it in the reader...open up iMovie and import files from there.
