I have a few live dvds of my friends band. I want to take the best performances from them and rip them and edit them in imovie and reburn them. I am having a hell of a time doing this. I tried using handbrake but after ripping it to my hard drive it took an hour to import an 8 minute video. I had it set on normal and ripped it as an mp4 file, am i doing something wrong? I don't think it should take this long to import on a new macbook 2.2ghz

i was ripping the clip in handbrake using he wrong format and i set it to 1 pass instead of 2 pass encoding, 2 pass is a bit slow

I have home-made DVDs whose source DV files do not exist anymore.
So, if I rip them into MP4s (double pass) with Handbrake, iMovie (HD/08) should be able to import them easily, right?
