Hi Graham
Sue gave some important ways. But Karsten made the full list of possible ways.
Hi Sue - nice Your back !!
One important one though. DVD disc or mini DVD disc ? This is important if you have a slot-loaded
DVD reader/burner. If tray-loading miniDVD might work BUT NOT in a slot-loaded. Don't try !
Here's Karstens list:
.. and here the complete 'full 9 yards' ... :

DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
• DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
• Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
• VisualHub (23.32$)
• Cinematize >60$
• Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
• Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
• connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
• Drop2DV (free) a free tool claiming to convert DVDs into dv-stream...
none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...
