14 hours to rip POPmart? It took me 14 minutes in the way that I do it. Whatever Handbrake uses as it's background ripper it's not very good. But I do like the idea of a DVD sticky. Not just for the ownership of proper discs but say that if you get a trade from somewhere you might wanna rip that to your MP3 player or a CD - no reason that can't be done.


I like the results it produces, Popmart looks very good, but I just need to set aside an entire weekend to one show. Which is kinda restrictive.
I have other avenues to explore now which is good

Anything from a crew member on the idea for a DVD sticky?

There should be a DVD sticky. I just had a look at the Active Topics - active enough Dan?

Does anyone here know anything about Mac's, specifically iMovie? I'm generally clueless when it comes to this stuff, and I'm trying to put some .avi files of a U2 concert into iMovie so I can piece them together and burn to DVD, but it won't let me import the clips into the library. HELP!!!

EDIT: Looks like I figured it out. Damn you, iMovie '08!!!!

iMovie doesn't read .avi files.

I don't use iMovie myself (have no DVD burner) but this codec should be able to convert to a suitable format format for iMovie.
(They should play already in Quicktime? - have you tried this?)

I think it needs to be in 'DV streams' - mpg or mov format for iMovie (click on Help and it should tell you).

Quicktime Pro would also do it - but you have to pay for the upgrade.

Please login or register to view this link site should be helpful too.

There's always Please login or register to view this link which will convert most things but won't help with the iMovie thing I think.

Finally, Please login or register to view this link site is always useful.

Edit:- Looks like you did it while I was writing that! Soem of the stuff is useful anyway....

I ended up using MPEG Streamclip to convert to .mov files. Thanks for your help though! I'm sure I'll have more questions soon enough....

And I'm back with another question:

I'm trying to burn a DVD or a U2 show, and after unpacking the .rar files, I found that they came with not only .VOB files, but all of these:

VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VIDEO_TS.VOB
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_1.VOB


My question is, if I'm burning these on Toast 8 as a video DVD, do I have to create a separate folder for any of them, or can I just tell it to burn them all onto the disc, and it will know what to do?

just put them all in a VIDEO_TS folder andimport the folder using toast. Those other files are menus and stuff like that and should give you no problems
