I've always used footage from Sony XDCAM to import into Final Cut Pro. Now, I need to place a 3 minute video from a DVD onto the timeline. How can I do that, e.g., is Shareware Ultimate Converter the way to do that or is there a better way?

Mpegstreamclip - Squared 5 - MPEG Streamclip video converter for Mac OS X (http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html)

I use DVDxDV to convert the DVD back to a Quicktime. Does a great job.

Thanks so much. I downloaded the DVDxDV Pro. Works great. Thanks again.
