• 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.

Small CDs?

Hey guys, sorry for not posting in a long time. I'm busy with school! :Grimmace:

Anyway, I'm supposed to edit a documentary film for school.. but the CD given to me was the small one. I mean literally, the small disk. It can't be used in the MacBook, and when I put it in my desktop so I can access it in the network and copy it.. in the middle of the copying process, it cancels and says that the file cannot be read or written.

The file extension is .VRO and it's from a Sony Handycam. The file opens with VLC. I still don't know if it'll work with iMovie. Will it?

I'm really desperate on this and the deadline is tomorrow! Please help me guys!:'(

Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the file.

By the way, bugging people 51 minutes after your original post is ridiculous.

Xstep is right: iMovie won't be able to edit the file natively - you'll need to convert it to Mpeg2, Mpeg4 or DV format.

That's the problem with those MiniDVD cameras: You can't import the clips normally as a DV stream as you can from miniDV cameras...
