I love the control of setting in and out points with the keyboard shortcuts similar to FCP. I've used QuickTime Pro in the past to do this but I like the MPEG Streamclip interface better. Plus it's free, of course. When I was at the university we used a Sony capture device to import VHS and DVD video into the MacG4 we had setup as a FCP station. I like this method better since it doesn't require extra hardware or wiring! Please let me know how this goes with your students!

Light, clean and pretty versatile. I opened and played a number of different file types and even opened a URL from YouTube and all the media played back perfectly. I opened an MPEG clip and set in and out points, then I saved the edited sequence as a new file. The file saved with the exact in and out points as I specified. I got an error message when I tried to open an MP3, but the file played anyway. It's a much more hands on approach to conversion and editing than Zamzar. I will be sharing it with my students. This approach might seem a little cumbersome, but it's been working for me for quite some time now. I use a capture device (Dazzle) together with my DVD player to bring DVD content into my computer. I come out of my DVD player/recorder into Dazzle and then out of Dazzle into my tower. While the DVD is playing, I capture everything in iMovie, save the project and then import the DV streams into Final Cut. Thanks H Songhai Wes,
