    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.

I don't necessarily want to fork out the dough for Adobe products, so I'm wondering if there's a free piece of software for OSX that allows for basic timeline/multiple video/audio track editing. Any ideas?

I suspect it wouldn't, no; I'm looking to do a timelapse video with thousands of JPEG images, so I want a more strict multitrack timeline to work with.

I don't know of anything more sophisticated than iMovie that is free. I think you'd have to move up to Final Cut to get those kinds of features, but it isn't free.
