• 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 a bunch of video (3000 Hrs) of video from an IP camera that was saved in .HGD files on a windows machine. I now need to convert the video to something that I can edit and later burn to DVD. The Vivotek software that came with it says it will convert it to AVI files but it seems to keep crashing so I can't get it converted. I have Final Cut Express and of course I-Movie and would like to use them to make clips that are playable on a home DVD player. Any thoughts or ideas on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
