• 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.

Am I doing something wrong??

Hi all,

I hope this question hasn't been answered already, but I've searched and can't find anything.

I've imported video from my Sony hard drive camcorder into iMovie 08. I am now "sharing" the movie to the media browser so that it will work seamlessly with iDVD. The video is 1 hour and 33 minutes, however, it says it has about 450 minutes left until the download/upload is complete.

Ummmm.... there must be a faster way to do this, no? Should I import the video to MPEG Streamclip first and THEN import it into iMovie 08 in a different file extension? If so, which extension will work with iDVD, and ALSO on a regular DVD player?

Any help is really appreciated.

BTW - I'm using a MacBook Pro - 1.83 Intel Core Duo
- memory 1.5 GB 667 MHZ DDR2 SDRAM
OS X - Leopard 10.5.6
