I am making a music video which will be shown on my party. I want to use a clip from a DVD. Since I am using iMovie to edit the videos, I was wondering how I can import DVD movies to iMovie. Do I need to rip the DVD to some kind of video format? What program do I need to convert the DVD so I can import it into iMovie, thanks? <br /> <img src="../images/dvd-ripper-mac/dvd-to-imovie.jpg" alt="dvd-to-imovie" width="550" height="201" /> <br /> <strong>Answer:</strong><br /> iMovie is a movie editing application that is part of the iLife suite of digital lifestyle applications that allows Apple Macintosh users to create movies from a number of different sources including digital video cameras, DV-encoded files, and pictures. <br /><br /> If you want to import DVD to iMovie for editing, you may want to know that iMovie only supports MPEG-2 and AVCHD, DV-Standard and HDV (High Definition Video), QuickTime Movie, MEPG-4 formats. So to speak, you will need to rip DVD to a iMovie compatible video format and then import them to iMovie. Personally, I would strongly recommend you go with <strong>MPEG-4</strong>, <strong>MPEG-2</strong> and <strong>MOV</strong> as the video file to rip the DVD to. They usually have much higher video quality and better audio effect. <br /> <br /> <a href="../dvd-ripper-mac/index.html">DVD Ripper for Mac</a> serves as one of the best DVD to iMovie converter which lets you rip/convert/copy DVD to iMovie easily. Also, it enables you to have full control over video quality; you can set the values of resolution, bit rate, frame rate and keep them as the highest to get the best effect. The program is also a powerful video editing tool that allows you to trim, crop, add effect and merge files. You can also take snapshots if you need to. Check out the step by step guide below to learn how. <br /> <br /> <strong>Step 1 Download and install DVD Ripper for Mac</strong><br /><br /> <P><a href="http://www.dvd-creator-converter.com/aimer-dvd-ripper-intel_full234.dmg">Download DVD Ripper for Mac</a> <img src="../images/mac-s.gif" /></P><br /> Download and install this Mac DVD Ripper.

You can also choose other output format accordingly.<br /> <img src="../images/dvd-ripper-mac/dvd-to-imovie-1.jpg" alt="dvd-to-imovie-1" width="207" height="255" /><br /> <br /> Then click on Convert button to get started the ripping process.
