Hi. I stumbled across your site. I got a mac in 2007 and am just starting to use iMovie. I have a dvd I’d like to put on iMovie, but it won’t take, saying it’s not compatible. I tried downloading this thing called mpeg streamclip, clicked and dragged my dvd concert into it, but it’s telling me that I have to buy something from apple for it to convert to MPeg-2? I have no idea what that means. Do i really have to give apple more money just to convert my dvd into iMovie so I can edit and put on youtube? Can any of you geniuses out there help this dweeb?

Thanks for you help!

well i think the new ilife 09 is the best peace of software for editing people and people that just like to do things for fun on ilife. Me i use my macbook for wat it is meant for, i just dont use it for web browsing and emailing and iming i am also using the software that came with it and the best software for the mac that is out there, and also for an example – Final Cut Pro- and also use imovie a lot for my youtube video editing and iphoto to keep all my photos organized and be edited to the best quality. i am forword to get ilife 09 so i can do a better job on my youtube videos and photo editing and being very organized.

RE: iphoto: yeah ive been using already ‘facebook exporter, v1.0.5′ and ‘FFxporter’ for facebook picture exporting for a long time now.

RE: garageband: i have moved to logic express, waaaay ahead of garageband. and hopefully to full logic next year.

RE: imovie: i use final cut express, again, way ahead of another kiddies app.

dont use iweb. hardly woth $79 in my book. some nice added minor functionality but no need to piss your pants over it.

I will definitely be picking up a copy of iLife 09 this weekend. I don’t use Garage Band, but I heavily use iPhoto and iMovie so I am excited about the new features. All this for under $100? Amazing!

The improvements to iLife look pretty significant. With any luck, I may be able to upgrade sometime next month. I still have iLife ’06 installed…
