I take care of a website for someone -- they sent me a dvd with a 3 minute clip (it is a home movie of himself). I want to change it to a quicktime file, how do i do this on my powerbook -- can I do this?
try to use ffmpegX. It is a powerful tool, it handles all types of MPEG, and H.264 (!), Divx, xDiv, and things like that. It should exist on versiontracker, or else, there is always google!
