• 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.

Capturing DVD images for web

Hi Guys,

Its my first thread and really need some advice. I have a client who sells DVDs on the web and now wants to provide a sample clip of that dvd on their site only about 30 sec worth. The site developers say they can do a upload section but it would be up to me to do the clips. Am I right in thinking I need a programe called 'hand-break' to capture the section from the dvd and then place that into imovie which can then be optimised for web????

Any help?

Thanks

Mark

Yes.

Handbrake rips DVDs using a few different codecs that you can choose from. Some of which are editable by iMovie.

quality is completely customizable, so it can be DVD quality or junk quality, you just have to fool around with the settings

Not sure if anyone is still reading this, but remember to be careful about ripping commercial DVDs and then publishing the content on the web. You will be just as liable as your client if there are any legal issues (which it sounds as if there almost definitely are).
