    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.

Best software for making video webcasts and converting to WMV?

Been a long-time PC user just switching to Mac.

I run a website that goes out to consumer electronic
conventions and takes camcorder footage of product
and interviews.

As a PC owner I used Pinnacle software to edit my material
and then save file in WMV format so that it could be uploaded
to our website and that anyone could watch the footage within
their browser using Windows Media Player.

Now I am a newbie Mac enthusiast and I need to do the same
thing.

I need a program where I can simply plug in my camcorder
firewire and transfer video to hard drive. Then, carefully edit
my material (removing stuff I don't want), adding titles and
fade-out. I then need to convert that footage to the WMV format
to upload for Windows Media Players.

Not sure if the included iDVD program will do all that -or- if
it will do most of the job but I would still need a program to
convert the files.

Can someone give me good advice on getting this all done?

Thanks!
