Import home DVD into iMovie

If someone ask me what is home DVD, I can't render a definitive answer, but as to my understanding,

homemade DVDs are DVDs made by one person or group of people for personal purpose including

entertainment, study, live and work.

They usually tend to record the wonderful moment of their daily life with their cameras, camcorders or

other available recording devices so as to upload the videos to the websites for sharing with more people,

or put them on their portable devices like iPod, iPhone, iRiver, BlackBerry, Mobile Phone, Sansa etc so

that they can enjoy anywhere and anytime they can. And one of the frequently ways they do with their

videos is to burn them in DVD for longer storage, send it to family, friends, colleagues, teachers etc or

share with them.

As most of them are not professional photographers or have non-professional camera, sometimes the

videos they shot or the DVDs they burnt are not so satisfactory as they wish that they have to do some

editing in order to get what they want. They tried to import their DVDs into iMovie, of no avail.

Warning: can't import DVD into iMovie The problems of importing DVDs to iMovie are not rare

cases, they do actually happen in most cases, the following are some of the typical examples I want to

share with you and also I'd like to try to offer my method of overcoming the barrier in the next part.

Situation 1: "Mac OS X system here. I can succesfully duplicate DVD's with Disk Utility, but I can't

figure out how to take this material and edit it in iMovie"

Situation 2: "I have just transferred many home movies from various size tapes to DVD using a Sony

multi function DVD recorder, VRD-MC5. The next step is how to import them into imovie for editing.

What do I have to do to achieve this step?"

Situation 3: "I have the newest edition of the macbook and I have two home dvd's that I acquired well

over a year ago that I want to put into imovie to edit. I know this can be done through a camcorder but I

do not have the orginial camcorder and tapes"

Situation 4: "We are in the process of porting Hi8 tapes to DVD using AV output to a DVD recorder. The

camera we have has usb port, not firewire. These are home movies. Is there a way to port the DVD into

iMovie to edit it and then write the edited version out to another DVD?"

Situation 5: "We just had a play at our school and someone there recorded it with viedo camera. They

then took it home and burned it to a dvd. They gave the dvd to me so i could use idvd to make a menu and

stuff. I put it into my computer and its in 2 folders (VIDEO_RM and VIDEO_TS) in these folders there

are icons that look like blank pieces of paper. The names of these icons all end in things like: .BUP; .IFO;

.VOB does any one know how i can put these in imovie?"
