Converting DVDs in Streamclip

[ach8d]

Hello,
Wondering if anyone could help me out with a Streamclip question. I am trying to convert VRO files in Streamclip on my Mac, but keep getting the message "file is too short." These are home videos on DVD, but I think the DVD is copywritten/protected for some reason.
I originally downloaded videos from an old-school home video camera onto DVDs. I only have the DVDs now, not the original source videos.
Is there any way of accessing the content on the DVDs? I was going to use iMovie DVD to create a compilation of the videos.
Thank you!
Alison

You might Try Mac The Ripper or Handbrake, both free software for ripping video from DVDs.

If those don't work, I'm at a loss.

Are there Timecode breaks in the files? Cmd+F
