An Easy Way to Re-Sync multiple Camera Clips (page 2)

Uncompressing DVDs

Regarding the question in the September 2007 issue's Tech Support article, I have used with great success and ease a program for the Mac called DVDxDV which I purchased online for $25. I can rip legal DVDs in whole or in part.

I use it to obtain clips from my church broadcast or from other clients to put in wedding memories/childhood videos. If Craig Brewers' DVD is not encrypted, DVDxDV is the way to go.

Editor's note: We can mention DVDxDV since it does not decrypt CSS, the hopelessly-cracked encryption scheme that's still placed on Hollywood DVDs for some reason. This program, along with practically any other currently-available DVD ripping application, makes the task of extracting video from an unprotected DVD a bit easier. (We don't deny that there are some DVD rippers out on the Internet that will decrypt CSS, but due to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we can't say anything else about any of those programs.)
