• 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.

It can handle it, rendering would be pretty slow, though. 30 seconds wouldn't be that bad.

Try it out and if it works, then use it. :mac: That's all there is to it.

Yeah... Not to pile on the bad news... But I think you did overpay on that one...

An the bright side! Yes you should be able to edit video just fine. My only recommendation would be to bump up the memory to at least one gig or more.
