• 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 9 minute video that was edited in imovie4 and need to play it at a presentation. Should I make a quicktime movie and play it from the computer or burn a DVD and play it from that? i should add that first there will be slides projected from the ibook, followed by the video and ending with more slides.

I tried that. I first make a quicktime movie with no compression and it was saved as a .dv file. Then i found that I could not insert it into powerpoint. After I changed suffix to .mov, i then could insert it. However, it ran very jumpy as if the frame rate had been dropped to 10 or 12 frames per sec. What am i doing wrong?
