dvd to imovie hd or idvd

i have a quick question. I tried searching but i couldn't really find anything similar to my situation. I recorded something on tv using my home dvd recorder. There is no encryption because i chose not to add encryption. I want to make copies of this dvd on my mac but i want to use idvd or imovie to add a menu and possibly a slide show on to the dvd. How would i extract the movie i recorded so i can use it on idvd or imovie to make menus etc and burn it to another dvd? thanks in advance.... :dummy:

try handbrake...http://handbrake.m0k.org/
you can rip dvds

your welcome in advance

u could also use mac the ripper, convert using mpegstreamclip and then import into iMovie

thanks for responding guys but i am still having problems...i ripped my dvd with mac the ripper but now how do i convert those files to either mpeg or mov? I downloaded mepegstremclip but i don't know how to use it very well.
is there anything else? also when i use mepegstreamclip it ask me for a quicktime 2 codec. anyone can let me know where i can find that for really really cheap on the net? pm me or email me at [email protected].

thanks again ...

I would take EDIT-XTREEM's advice and use Handbrake, it's one step and very easy.
