Unbelievable, I'm new to Mac and iMovie and immediately discovered the dilemma of importing DVDs. This solution is clear and seems to have worked wonderfully...
I did try the product, ripped many dvds and was quite happy with the result and the easy way it works. I would recommend it to you.
This was the clearest and simplest direction and it worked like a charm. I have now successfully imported my sons birth and first year from old tape to DVD to iMovie. Never thought I would find the answer so easy (well to you it was easy).
Thank you, thank you, a million times thank you! I've spent all day trying to get a home made dvd into imovie. Your solution was simple and perfect for moving my dvd content back into my mac without loss of quality.Import/convert/transfer/put HD video into iMovie
What is HD video? According to Wikipedia, HD video or high definition video refers to any video system of higher resolution than standard-resolution (SD) video. The HD specification dictates a number of areas of the HD format but most particularly and importantly it specifies the frame size and dimensions of the image.
Compared with the existing standard definition who has fixed dimensions of 720*576 for PAL and 720*480 for NTSC, the HD specification allows for two different HD frame sizes, a smaller 1280*720 and a larger 1920*1080 which are commonly referred as 720p and 1080i/1080p.
Get to know: what video formats are HD video formats
To get a clear understanding of HD video, I just list some of the HD video formats as to my own experience:
HD Divx, HD Xvid, HD AVI, HD MOV, HD H.264, HD MPEG-4, HD MPG, HD WMV
Other HD video formats produced by some HD camcorders such as Cannon, Panasonic, Sony, Hitachi, JVC or Flip camcorder etc are AVCHD, TOD files
Why should we convert HD videos to common video files
Getting uncompressed HD content onto a computer for editing or processing will be a straightforward process with the corresponding storage requirements satisfied for its huge size. The first issue in storage is sustained bandwidth and big enough capacity is also an inevitable factor, besides, there are also other requirements. Therefore, if you don't have the corresponding configurations, you will have to turn to another way. For example, in order to import HD videos to iMovie for editing, you only need a simple converting process, that is, convert HD videos to iMovie compatible files, which is what our movie converter for Mac can do.
