I've got a Quicksilver 2002 with the Pioneer D107 superdrive installed.
After installing Panther, it can now read DVD+R disks.

I need to extract the DVD content off of a DVD+R disk to use in iMovie,
but I can't seem to get it to work right.

The source disk was created on a PC and shows up on the desktop as a
Pinnacle Systems DVD. DVD player plays the disk fine with audio & video
and it plays fine in a stand-alone DVD player. The source is 7 minutes
long.

Opening the disk in the Finder reveals a folder titled VIDEO_TS. Inside
this folder you find the following:
VIDEO_TS.BUP           12 KB
VIDEO_TS.IFO             12 KB
VIDEO_TS.VOB            44 KB
VTS_01_0.BUP          20 KB
VTS_01_0.IFO            20 KB
VTS_01_0.VOB          4.3 MB
VTS_01_1.VOB      484.8 MB

I've tried OSEx, Open Shiiva and Mac The Ripper. I've only been able to
extract video with Open Shiiva, but that was the wrong size and took 90
minutes.

Now what?

I appreciate any suggestions.
