• 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.

Editing windows screen capture on a MAC

Hi Guys,

I am fairly new to the world of mac, I have a mini for home theater but was looking at getting an iMac for my main home machine. Here is the question.

I produce a video podcast (itidiots.com plug plug) and I currently do a lot of screen capture of windows systems for the stuff we teach. I currently use an app called ZD Screen Capture (free and very good) but it captures to wmv or windows avi (unknown codec)

I tried quickly using iMovie to have a go at MAC editing and whilst it is not powerful enough for what we produce (features) I was not able to use any of my video screen capture footage.

I was wondering if anyone out there could tell me if Final Cut (Express) would be able to handle more imported formats, or could someone recommend a screen capture for windows that produces a compatible output for editing on a MAC.

Thanks,

Nick.
