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 am a fairly new mac person but may be able to help if you are still having that problem. A work around for this is to download a screen capture utility since you can play this file in another media player. I have had great results with Snapz Pro and they have a 30 day full featured evaluation version at http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/ which you could try. So basically what you do is play the movie in vlc player and grab the screen or portion of the screen that contains the video and it will save it as a mov file that for sure can be imported in iMovie. It will also get the sound as well and you can set it at a variety of quality settings too so there's almost no way to detect the original from the captured version.
I love iMovie --hope this helps you out.

Not a bad idea, but I'd suggest downloading FFMpegX and converting it to DV format there...
FFMPegX is shareware and free for what you want to do with it + the end result will probably be better.
