Hi, I know this has come up on the list before, but can't locate it in the archives. I am trying to extract some video from a home made movie on DVD. I can put it onto my computer alright, but can't bring the video TS or VOB file into Quicktime, iMovie, or iDVD. I want to edit it and save

Hi Susan, Rip the movie with Handbrake (or Media Fork). It will make the movie an MP4 file, which can then be brought into Quicktime or iMovie for an edit. Seeya Rod! On 17/4/07 9:16 AM, Susan Hastings [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I know this has come up on the list before, but can't locate

Hi Susan, Also if you have Toast 7 or 8 you can Export the Video file to MPEG 4 or many other formats. Open Toast, choose Video - DVD-Video, drag the Files into the Toast Window or use The Media Browser. Choose Export, select the format you want. Cheers, Ronni On 17/04/2007, at 9:26 AM,

Just one thing while I remember it... (And I can't check it because I am out and about without web access) Importing mpegs takes forever in iMovie but if you create a new Mpeg project, close the program down and then just add the file into the hidden media folder (show package contents in the
