• 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'm a total n00b to both iMovie and video editing, so bear with me. I just edited my first "movie" which is 37 seconds long, but it's incredibaly huge, so how do you compress movies in iMovie? Is there a special program I need to download?

If you export it from iMovie, you can use the 'quicktime' option to compress it using Quicktime...
But you won't be able to edit the finished result, so perhaps archive your raw material on cd's or Dvd's...
