[MacDV] Capturing video on screen

[Kunga]

I love using HandBrake to rip DVDs for video iPod use. I also use  
Handbrake to encode all my edited video for the web. Handbrake lets  
me compress my video podcast posts down to 1 mb a minute and still  
look good.

I export final DV edits from FCP or iMovie out to full quality DV.  
Then I import that file into iDVD set at best quality encoding. Then  
I burn a disk image of that DVD. Then I use HandBrake to target the  
dimensions and size to one mb per minute 2 pass encoding to mpeg4  
(with or without H.264 is an option too). Plus you can CROP video in  
Handbrake which lets you trim the black edges of a native DV file. I  
can't rave enough about how great HandBrake is for Video Podcasting.
