handbrake?
I am not sure where to go with this question, I need to rip movie DVD, legally. I do a local TV Show where we talk to independent film makers and show their films.
I tried Handbrake which is easy only problem is makes mp4 can’t bring it onto the FCP time line. Looking at the guidelines says suppose to be able to do mov. I can’t see where that is an option for MOV.
What I have been doing is using Vegas to capture onto the time line render mov then bringing it over to FCP. Then re render on the timeline. I would love to be able to rip a DVD with MAC and get an MOV.
Suggetions? -

The ripper of choice for most FCP editors is MPEG Streamclip, and it’s available for free as well.

Better yet I am sure that these independent filmmakers will want there film shown in the HIGHEST quality possible, and I am willing to bet that they will provide you with ether a copy on tape or a mov file exported from there editing program. Both would provide you with MUCH BETTER quality end product.

I am sorry if you took my suggestion the wrote way, I in no way wanted to come across are rude or snobby, I was just simply suggestion that there are he could probably get better quality sources from the filmmakers. After all he did say that it is for a TV show so why not try and get the best quality you can when assembling your show for broad cast.

No suggestion of rude or snobby, I just figure you have previously undisclosed psychic abilities, of which the rest of us were not aware.

It’s my understanding you can’t put an MPEG on Final Cut Pro timeline. Anytime I put an MPEG on the time line I might get video but not audio.

“Correct. As David suggests, most of us use MPEG Streamclip, a free application to rip DVDs into Quicktime movies.

Suggesting using MPEG streamclip instead of Handbrake. I haven’t taken a look at it yet, but is it complicated? I am new to FCP and DVD Rippers.

I will download it and take a look. Hopefully it’s not to complicated. I am new to all this. I might come back for assistance. If it will rip to quicktime movie that would be awesome.

Just follow the instructions that come with it. quite simple really.
