• 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.

For some reason that I don't understand any imported MOV files that i bring in to the program and use on a sequence needs to be rendered to be played back.
This is confusing to me because, isn't MOV the native format that FCP uses. I'm no expert on FCP so if anyone has any ideas I'll appreciate it.

i believe you should be able to play it back in the preview window in fcp. in order to watch the sequence in the output window you must render.
