Mac the Ripper (http://www.mactheripper.org/) to Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/) to one of iMovie's supported formats:


iMovie supports standard and high definition video, as well as the most popular formats, including DV, HDV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and even AVCHD.

Wrong. You dont need MTR for non-commercial dvds, and handbrake will not encode to a good editing format.

What you really need is MPEG Streamclip. With this app, you can export your DVD to DV files, and iMovie will edit them perfectly.

I stand corrected. My apologies.
