    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.

Hi!

About a year ago I had a bunch of video clips in imovie that I uploaded to my youtube account. Since I didnt have so much space on my computer I moved my project library to an external hard drive.

Now when I want to use these videos again for my website that I am setting up it looks like i cant use them...

When I open the folder with the projects in on the hard drive there is just the icon with the star and the camera on, ( and it says that they do have content), but...when I try to important in imovie nothing happens. It is as if they are empty or something, I don´t know, I don´t have a clue what to do...Did I use them somehow, or is there something I could be doing wrong?

Then I thought about using the videos that I (still luckily) have on youtube, would that be an option, or how do I download them from my account? And would the quality be changed then, is it good enough to use for the website?

Hm, I am really puzzled about this and would be very thankful for some help!

Many greetings,
Krystallia
