You could do that, or you could get MPEGStreamclip, which is a good
free application that can rip parts of DVDs for use in iMovie and
FCP. There are other similar software solutions out there too, such
as DVDXDV .
You can find MPEGstreamclip here

DVDxDV here http://www.lafcpug.org/store_soft_hard.html#anchor3791410
And Cinematize (which has a universal version) here

Hope this helps

Hi all.
Last year I transferred all my VHS tapes to dvd via imovie/idvd.
I would like to transfer about 30 secs off the dvd to use in iphoto
slideshow for a birthday.
I no longer have access to analogue to digital convertor.
I do have canon digital camera, could I use output from dvd player
and record back to camera and record on camera, then import from
camera into imovie.
Thanks in anticipation.
Rob
