We will spend the next 4 classes on the Video Mashup. It is due, completed, hosted on YouTube or Vimeo, and embedded on your blog before class on Monday, November 19th. No extensions will be given.
Today, I will introduce you to some more features of iMovie. I will also discuss how to rip a DVD for use in your mashup. We will use Handbrake to do so. It is available for Windows and Macs and it's free. If you are going to use it on a Mac, you also need to install VLC Media Player which is a really great free video player that has some features that Handbrake needs to work properly. If you are going to use Handbrake on a PC, then you will also likely need to also install DVD43. It is a utility that decrypts encrypted DVDs. It is also free.

To download movies from YouTube or Vimeo you can use WantYouTube.com or KeepVid.com. Both require that you have Java on your computer and allow a special java applet to run. As far as I am aware, both are safe to use. I use both on my laptop. I prefer WantYouTube.com because it doesn't have misleading advertisements trying to get you to download things you don't want like KeepVid does.
If you need to download HULU video, you can try following this tutorial. For PCs only. Reading the HULU section of this article may help you understand the process better.
