• 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 several small video clips in iPhoto. They will not open or play in QuickTime Pro or iTunes movies. When I tried to open them in Slide Show, they just showed a black screen. I cannot drag them to desktop or anywhere else. It's like they are not even there (except they are). They even are listed, for example, as VID00001 00:07, VID00002 00:13, etc....

I have tried every possible solution I could find on this forum and Google but nothing works.

What file type/format are the videos? Select one and click on the info button at the bottom left of the iPhoto window. They may need converting.
