picking up the thread again on transferring non-protected DVD files onto a Mac...[or PC]
I've found (and bought) Cinematize --a program for both Mac and Windows that will take the DVD files and translate them digitally to Quicktime, MPEG-2 and/or a bunch of other formats (and extract the video if you want). The downside is that that's all it can do ...and it costs $60.
After an agonizingly slow translation-process (about 8x real time on my 500MHz dual G4), however, Cinematize delivers beautiful full-fidelity files --and using .dv stream output you can import files of any length into older versions of iMovie...
I'm still researching outboard boxes for analog-input -to- Firewire stream conversions, and I'll probably get one of those (or a PCI card) for VHS transfers, but Cinematize at least took care of my immediate problem...
