• 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 am a college student with a mac who recently finished my high school football playing days. For my soph. and junior years our coach would make a highlight film of our games. Our coach left for a different school and is not making one for our senior year so I would like to make it.

I am looking for software that can take the DVD of our 13 games and put them on my computer so that I can take the Highlights of certain games and turn them into a hour long "highlight film"

I am looking to spend around $50.

Thanks
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy, welcome to the forums!

Well, since the DVDs are probably not encrypted (as they are basically home made movies I assume), you can use Handbrake to rip the DVDs to mp4s, then use iMovie (which you should have on your Mac as all relatively modern Macs to my knowledge have iLife installed) to import the mp4s to edit for your highlights.

Best thing is it's either all free or already included software
