Hi Merv, you need to convert the .VOB files to a format that is accessible by iMovie. I use DVDxDVPro. It is shareware and ported from Windows. Pretty ugly implementation but it does work. The files are converted to .mov format and imports straight into iMovie. I'm not certain if

Hi Merv, Is this from a Philips Brand DVD Recorder? With Phillips recorded DVD's you don't get two folders as in VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS like you do on a normal DVD. You get two folders called ...VIDEO_TS (like normal) and VIDEO_RM (the RM folder contains DAT files, IFO files,and VIDEO_RM.BUP

Hi Ronni The DVD-VHS combo recorder is a Panasonic DMR-EZ47V and behaves like a set top box as well up to standard digital. Toast would seem to be a way to go except that I would have to upgrade from my old 5.2.1! Thank you for clarifying the file types and explaining their characteristics,

Hi Merv, sorry for the delay in my answer. DVDxDVPro was originally written for the PC and the code was rewritten to run under the Mac environment so it now runs natively on the Mac. It is obvious through its non conventional interface. Regards,

Hi Merv, Yes, I agree with James. I have used MPEG Streamclip successfully to convert a DVD's .VOB files to DV. Which is what you want to achieve. Then import the DV file into iMovie and edit, then send to iDVD to create your DVD. This would be your cheapest way to go. You can then buy

I have a combo VHS-DVD recorder connected to my TV set. On a standard DVD-R I can record up to 4.7 GB. Most one-off programs use less than half of the disk and if I don't Finish the disk I can put on two programs - but then it won't Finish the disk which means I can't play the DVD on any other
