• 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.

Hello! I've just bought Final Cut Express 4 and i'm trying to extract a homemade DVD with Mpeg Streamclip to edit in FCE, but Mpeg Streamclip says i don't have the mpeg2 playback component. Isn't this component installed by FCE?

Mac OS X 10.6.4

You may want to try ripping it with Handbrake instead of mpegstreamclip and rip it to an mp4.

I don't honestly know if FCE would support importing mpeg2, but if it did, you'd probably need to get the quicktime mpeg2 component.

No, FCE doesn't come with the MPEG-2 Playback Component. FC Studio, I believe, does.

It's only $20 however, it's probably worth getting.
