Import a home movie DVD into iMovie for editing Can anybody please tell me the best way to import DVD home videos onto my iMac and edit them using iMovie? I have done the usual google search and downloaded some DVD ripping software, this iMac blocked the installation, thankfully as I was sceptical of programs like Openshiiva and Leawo software. I would prefer to use trusted software even if it means buying it, any advice on this is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Terry
