Importing a Movie from a DVD into AS Pro
Hey it's me again and I was wondering if it is possible to import a movie directly from a dvd into Anime Studio Pro Version 5. I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.5

Yes, that would be easier -- do a Google Image search.
However, you can change a DVD into an AVI -- there is all kinds of software out there to do this. I use OJOSoft Total Video converter for this purpose. Note that this will not help with the breaking of the copy protection on a DVD (for that you'll need something like AnyDVD).

Tracing images from whatever source is not illegal. In fact, there's only laws about publishing the "intellectual property" of somebody else.
Tracing other people's drawings is not illegal, too - as long as you don't claim to be the originator of the drawing. As long as you clearly state that it's a tracing of character X by artist Y, you are not likely to get into trouble as long as you don't sell your work.
Tracing stuff without changing its appearance and then publishing the result might lead to trouble, but this depends highly on the context. "I made this as an exercise in rotoscoping" might go through, "I copied Bugs Bunny" will lead to trouble. Different property owners have different policies about that. Those who own drawings and designs are much more after this than those who own photographs and films.
If you trace the character "Beetlejuice" in a way that it's recognizeable, or even name him the same, it might be considered "fan art", but you cannot include him into something of commercial value, like a comic book.
If your own work consists only of tracings of only one source, it surely will lead to trouble, unless you can successfully claim it to be a parody.
