• 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.

Need to convert

So here's the issue, I used to primarily use my mac for video editing, and I haven't used it in a while, and my main computer is now a laptop through my school. I have a portable harddrive that I have some media from when I imported my DVC tapes into iMovie. I was wondering if there's a way to convert them to something a program on PC could use. I don't want to have to use my Mac (it's pretty slow at this point) to convert to quicktime and then move to PC, I'd rather just upload these directly to my PC if possible. Any suggestions? Thanks.

You can convert the video into MPEG4 or DivX format, both of which can be edited on a PC

You can do this directly from iMovie. It's part of the Export option under the File menu
