How to import DVD movies clips into Apple iMovie

Before getting started, let’s know something about DVD and Windows Movie Maker.

General DVDs have CSS copy protection in MPEG-2 or VOB format.
Windows Movie Maker is a totally free program that comes with Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows XP Professional, and Windows Vista (also called Windows DVD Maker). Windows Windows Movie Maker supports WMV, AVI and MPG video files.

To put DVD movie clips into Windows Movie Maker, you need to convert your DVD to WMV or AVI video first, and then load it into your Windows Movie Maker project. I’d prefer using Aiseesoft DVD Ripper to do this. ( free download )

Step 1. Import DVD movie

Insert the DVD disc into your DVD drive and click “Load DVD” to locate and import your DVD movie. Or you can add DVD IFO file by clicking “Load IFO File”.

Note: This DVD Ripper can rip copyright protected DVD movies, but you should remember it is illegal to rip DVD for any business purpose.

Step 2. Choose output format/subtitle/audio track, trim the movie

After you load the DVD files, click the “Profile” drop-down list to select “WMV – Windows Media Video (*.wmv)” or “AVI – Audio Video Interleaved (*.avi)” as the output format.

A regular DVD movie has multiple “Subtitles” and “Audio Tracks”. This DVD Ripper allows you to select any available subtitle and audio track to convert to the specific video/audio format you need.

If you just want a certain part of the DVD movie, you can click the “Trim” button to cut the DVD movie. You can drag the timeline bar to set the start and end time or simply input the “Start Time” and “End Time” to get the specific part of the movie.

Note: If you want to output higher quality video, click the “Settings” button to open the panel. There you can customize video bitrate, audio bitrate, resolution, framerate, etc.

Step 3. Start to convert

After the above steps, you just need to click the “Start” button and wait for the conversion to be finished. This DVD Ripper provides the fastest conversion speed (>300%) and fully supports dual core CPU.

Step 4. Import the output video into Windows Movie Maker

Run Windows Movie Maker. Tn the “Movie Task” bar, click “Add Video” to browse your computer and locate and import the converted files. Then you can start to make personal movies.

Tip: Many users may wonder how they can convert Windows Movie Maker file (*.MSWMM) to other video format or burn MSWMM to DVD. A *.MSWMM is a project file of Windows Movie Maker; it is not a video file (more like a record file). You can open *.MSWMM file in Windows Movie Maker (click “File -> Open Project Project…”) and save the movie to your computer: go to the “Tasks” bar, click “Finish Movie” and then click “Save to my computer”.
