<< There's a $70 DVD player that plays these DivX vids >>

What a coincidence .. I'm just downloading DivX
and trying to figure out how to get stupid movie
files into iMovie. Looks like I need -- DiVA? Streamline? I'm sure I'll figger
it out sometime
before the next generation of software gets released.

You can use Quicktime Pro to convert the movies to DV stream (that
iMovie works with) or at least some kind of MOV that it'll accept and
enlarge , itself. Meaning you have to enlarge the WHOLE movie, THEN
cut out the parts you don't want.

On a Mac, you could simply play the DivX movie on your computer and use
Snapz Pro 3 to do a "screen shot movie" of the parts of the movie you
want. That prog can now record MOVIES of what's on the screen rather
than just stills.

Or use a DivX DVD player to copy parts of the movies over to VHS then
dump the VHS footage back into iMovie.

I "graduated" from iMovie to Final Cut Pro. If you're just doing this
for fun...? -- DON'T do what I did. It leads to a bottomless pit of
file-share and newsgroup kleptomania, just like the greed for bootleg
Photoshop filters used to. Only now the programs themselves take up
ENTIRE DVDs.

I still can't get this fucking DVD Studio Pro 3 to make transitions
that aren't upside down. It's almost as if the program KNOWS.

binaries.divx has some "Bumfights!"

That makes it all worthwhile!

<< You can use Quicktime Pro to convert the movies to DV stream....>>

This freeware Streamclip 1.1 works like a breeze,
only now my iDVD is acting up and it's not the
blank DVD's. I thought I just updated iDVD last night
(to 4.0.1), but apparently I didn't finish the update.

<>

Uh, yeah, but it's a fustrating pain in the ass, really.
This reminds me of the old days when nothing worked
and everything was slow.

I just put together the gurlfiend's brother's wedding
video on a DVD just fine, but now that I want to do
some art I'm getting flak.

Okay, there goes the update. . .

Check out that DiVX advertisement where the
guy twiddles the radio knobs and the chick's nipples
pop out. Well, it made me laugh, anyway.
