I am trying to edit a home movie on iMovies but when I try to download the movie from a dvd a message comes up saying there are no importable files. The DVD is the last in a series of 5 and the others have downloaded without any difficulty.Help?

I am trying to edit a home movie on iMovies on a mac book air. The movie is on a dvd but when I try to import the movie onto iMovies I get a message saying there are no importable files. I've downloaded the macx converter software but I can't seem to download the movie into that either.

Chris , thanks for the prompt reply. The dvd was produced by a third party that I found on line . I had a number of old mini digital video cassettes from a Sony Handycam. I can play the DVD's on my laptop but I can't edit them on iMovies to delete a lot of the rubbish on them. I have five DVD's and three downloaded without any problem but the last two are according to iMovies non importable.
