I have a lot of .mov files. Each file is about 1 hour of movie footage but compressed to only 200-300MB. When I import them into iMovie it tries to convert them to dv files.

Someone asked me: “do you have any advice on how to copy a DVD onto another DVD.”
It’s quite easy, assuming it’s not a commercial DVD.
You use apple’s built in disk utility (in your utilities folder) to make a disk image of the dvd (select the DVD then select ‘new image’), it copies it exactly. The default options of compressed and none are fine.

This works with data DVD’s as well as movie DVD’s.
If you want to copy a Movie to your iPad or iPhone, that’s a different matter, see this article.
