    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.

Hey I need to rip a DVD movie to Final Cut Pro. I'm a new OSX user used to DVD Decryptor.

What I need to do is rip the movie and only use the video (add audio).

I tried MPEG streamclip but I feel like I need some freeware program that will completely work. Any tips will be appreciated.

Hey to clarify I'm doing this for educational purposes. I bought a cheap movie I plan to use to learn final cut commands and hopefully some fades and other effects (through tutorials and youtube videos).

I'm taking a theatre video editing class and I really want to do some post production editing but I know a little less than some of the other editors. So if they're gonna let me do some editing I need to do a little more work.

I used rip it to rip the dvd to an extension that appears to be .dvdmedia. I'm assuming this is a video that captures the media and merges all of the .vob files togethor. Also I'm a Windows user so I'm unfamiliar with this file and I need software ideally free that will convert it into a file for use with final cut pro.

What I need from y'all is to be able to convert these into final cut pro.

To clarify I can assure you my uses are entirely legal.

It doesn't matter why you're doing it, it is illegal in the US. As stated above - read through our guidelines. Thread closed.
