I have some family movies which I've transferred from VHS to DVD. I have burned the image into .dmg on my Mac and now would like to be able to see them in iMovie to edit and upload to YouTube to share short clips with family.

What is a recommended program for this? I'm sure there are lots out there but I've never been much into any video editting and I'm a relative Mac Newbie.

ANY feedback or input is greatly appreciated.:)

You'll need to use something like Handbrake to convert your DVD to a video file:
HandBrake

You can then use iMovie to edit.

Thanks, I'll look into it. I found several, I would prefer free but would rather it be a one-step process.

Has anyone heard or used TanBee Video Converter or any others?

Handbrake is free, and it's a one step process. If you want that one step to include importing into iMovie, then you're out of luck.
