    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 got the Sims 2 for Microsoft, and I made a few movies with it, but my movie editor was on a Macintosh. So when I put it on the Mac, all I could see was a white screen and Quicktime told me that I have to download a software from their website. But I couldn't find the software there. Then I was told that since the Sims 2 movies are AVI files they might need a different encoder than other AVI files. I was wondering, which Encoder would i need to convert The Sims 2 AVI files into a MOV file for Mac for FREE? Thanks in advance.:yinyang:

Hi!
I'm having the exact same problems. I downloaded Perian but nothing happens because I still can't open the avi-files in iMovie. Can someone please help me?
Thank you!
