Let's say I've got a video on DVD and I want to get the material into
iMovie and edit it.
What do I do?
(Conveniently, it's not a commercial DVD and has no - I guess -
encryption, copy protection, locale limiting, or any of that horeshit.
Also, the copyright holder *wants* this done.)

MPEG Streamclip can do simple editing, or convert to DV format for iMovie
