Hi Richard Thanks for the info - so if I re-load the additional apps package from my 10.2 cd then I should get iDVD loaded and can then up-date to 3.01?
Have played with VT to have a look see and found something called forty-two which seems great - it tells me that is has transferred the DVD encoding into avi or qt format, but it doesn't seem to save the file so am asking the developers about this. DVD back-up saves it as a DVD but it doesn't allow me to extract pieces. What I am really looking for is something that will allow me to extract clips (as iMovie does) and then save them to upload onto my website, which presumably means also changing the encoding to qt to avi format.
