    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.

I am very new to iMovie but I've used Macs exclusively for years. I've watched the Apple tutorials but I haven't found an answer to solve my problem.

I recorded a concert of local musicians. I taped from a tripod so I wasn't watching through the video recorder most of the evening, I was taking photos with my dig still camera. There is a long space during one performance when the singer moved out of frame for a full minute or two and I didn't catch it. I want to keep the remainder of the song but overlay it with still photos I took. I haven't found a way to do that yet. Can you point me in the right direction?

Or do I import the still photos and somehow clip the portion of soundtrack and reattach that to the new still photo selection? You can see I probably am not using the correct terminology. I hope I'm explaining it well enough that you know what I'm talking about.

I haven't tried importing still photos yet, but that looks simple enough and there's a tutorial to fall back on if I get confused.

TIA
