    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 want to make a video that has a single still picture with music in the background. I've selected the picture and imported the audio, but it only plays for a few seconds! When I double-click the picture to open the Duration box, I seem to be limited to seconds rather than minutes (Converting minutes to seconds results in the "Exceeded maximum duration limit" message. Can someone please help me? Thank you.

Yes, I think the longest iMovie lets you have ONE still picture on screen is 99 seconds or some such.

No big deal. Select the picture again, reimport it as a "new" still, set that for whatever the max is, repeat as needed for as long as you want the picture to appear. Be sure to turn off any "automatic" transitions.
