Re: Recording DVD

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 Handbr

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 f

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, and

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, Eu

Hi Brian, I followed your link and it appears it is no longer available and costs money when it is. Hi Merv, I found Shiiva which is free but it does not allow you to select which part of the VOB you can convert unlike DVDxDVPro.

Re: Recording DVD

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 you
