At the risk of missing the joke and teaching my Grandma to suck eggs... MPEG Streamclip all the way. On non-encrypted DVDs you can rip and convert a DVD to an editable format in, well, about twenty minutes :) http://squared5.com/ You'll also need the rather overpriced MPEG2 component from Apple, unless you've got Final Cut Studio (which is bundled with it).

If only I'd had a PC with Nuendo, Vegas or Premiere, I would've been done in 20 minutes - instead it took me a couple of hours of VERY lateral thinking, demuxing and transcoding... Bloody Macs, good for nothing ;-)
