• 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.

I have television programmes in Mp4 format and was wondering how I edit the adverts out? I have idvd but can't seem to edit with that. Doe's anyone know of any other programme that may help with my problem?

I also have eyeTv and I am sure you can edit it in their before exporting but I can't seem to find how it works. I have tried other forums and looked on the net but no joy.

I know the MacForum guys and girls can help as they have done many times.

Cheers guys,

You are on the right track. iDVD is not a video editor. iMovie is.

EyeTV allows you to edit it's recordings, but I don't think it can load other file types.
