[MacDV] Re: Breaking DVD film up into clips

[sb]

MPEG Streamclip allows you to set in and out points on the DVD files.

it's a free download.

If you have a lot of these tapes, it would be worth your while to buy  
a $100 converter box, and convert the tapes directly from VHS to dv.
Better quality, less hassle, but $100. Maybe you know someone who has  
one and can borrow it?
