welcome!
insert the dvd
open it in finder
click inside that window
press apple+C to copy both items
paste them wherever you want on your hard drive (I usually create a folder)
dload and install mpeg streamclip
open the dvd and export into .mov
(settings (if in north america) should be apple dv/dvcpro - ntsc (choose pal if not in NA))
quality to 100%
make sure frame size is set to 720 x 180
click make movie
bring those .mov files into imovie or whatever you want to edit.
cheers,

HarryDeebs,
With a tool like Handbrake you can "rip" the DVD into an avi or mp4 format.
You will need a (video) editing tool to cut those files into pieces.
Finally you will have to convert those pieces into an internet distribution format like H.264 or FLV.

- Make sure the content of the DVD you have is not copyrighted.
- The storage format of the DVD is a so called "distribution format". This means it is optimised, in this case, for DVD playback. "Ripping" a DVD for (re)editing purposes will result in a loss of quality.

I'm running on an old mac. It is a PowerPC G4 (3.3). It has Growl. I can't seem to find a version of Handbrake that is compatible.
Thanks
