Can you put the small DVD discs from a camcorder in the DVD slot of the iMac?

Stupid question...can you put the small DVDs from a camcorder in the DVD slot of the iMac?

That could be a challenge. If I am not mistaken that camera strictly records to DVD - RW and has no digital output connectors, is that right?
My only experience with a camera like that was a bad one. I was able to get the video off the disc using a tray-loading iMac but it was painfully slow.
iMovie (for example) is designed to work with camcorders such as those specified in this reference:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html
I cannot find the DCR-DVD92 in that database
You might consider finding an external USB slot-loading DVD drive, but as I say my experience was painfully slow, and you might run into file format compatibility challenges.
I am sure it's possible but it won't be as easy as importing video from something like an iPad or iPhone. I still use a camcorder on occasion but it has a FireWire port. That's easy.

  • Can you put on songs in queue from your PC (windows) to play from another device?

    You might have stumbled upon my other topic about queue problems with my PS4, i got a response from Spotify support that didnt help much, so i tried experimenting a little. Instead of just trying to play from the ps4, i tried playing through my phone using connect. The queue-system totally messes up when trying to queue from windows, anyone else have this problem? I have actually tried with 2 laptops now. with the same result, so now i want to know what your experience is :) Can you try this out to help me? I want to know if this is ... just how it works or if its just a problem for me-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I gave the support guy an example on how things work, you dont have to read this to answer the question above, but it might enlighten my issue a bit more? =)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you can see by the description of the problem, i know how the connect feature works. And i know how to queue songs. I can queue songs from my mobile (sony xperia z3) when using the connect feature. I can queue songs on the ps4 app and it works without any problems. Ill give you an example.
    Example is that i play from my ps4, the pc and the phone are connected with the connect feature
    - I put on a song using my pc --> the spotify app on the ps4 starts playing music- I put a song in queue from my phone- I put a song in queue using my ps4 controller (at this point, the two songs i put on queue shows correctly up in the queue menu on spotify on PC)- I skip to next song - queue works correctly, the next song plays. I skip again and the third song plays, no problems, it works fine!- I now do the same, i put on the same two songs in queue, using my phone and my controller.- I put one song in queue from my pc (suddenly the previous songs i skipped also shows up (duplicates, since the songs i put on the other time are there too)- I press next song --- now the songs in queue are just skipped. They are still in queue, but they will not be played. The song beneath the queue list will be played instead
    This is just an example. I can disconnect my phone from connect and only use my PC and the queue problems are still there, so im guessing its some problem with the app or some setting on my PC.

  • Can you put your iTunes data on your airport and then have your computers with the same apple id sync to this music/ and play list / podcast / movies / iTunes u?

    I have a laptop and desktop can I sync my itunes to a master libary on a nas or my airport extream? this would be similar to syncing my devices to my imac (iPad, iPhonce, ect.)

    two answers as I am unshour to what you want to do:
    Setup homeshareing or:
    1) QUIT not just Close iTunes if it open
    1) Make a folder on the shared disk
    2) Move the "Users/username/Music/iTunes folder you want to share with all the devices to the folder on the shared disk
    3) Make that folder accessable by all the users you want to access it.
    4) Hold the "Option/alt" key down and click iTunes and it will ask if you want to "Choose a Library"
    5) click "Choose a Library" and choose the one on the shared disk
    6) Do this on evey meachine you want to have access to this library
    8) REMBER THAT IF YOUR NOT CONNECTED TO YOUR SHARED DISK THEN YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS YOUR LIBRARY but you can choose librays at any time by using step 4 and you can have as meany librarys as you like.
    I hope this answers your question
    Sorry for any bad spellings I am dyslex......

  • Can you put multiple projects together in iMovie?

    I want to make a dvd that has several different iMovie projects on the dvd separated with Chapter markers. Can you put an existing project into another existing project in iMove and then mark the separation with Chapter markers? Then you can save it as one project and export it to iDVD.

    A better way is to create different iMovie projects, then export them as Quicktime files (best quality), import those files into a new iMovie project, make them different chapters, then to iDVD.

  • How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ?

    How can you create a writable PDF document from a PPT presentation ? Upper part with the image , lower part with a free space in order to take notes for students during presentation or course.
    Thanks.

    You can make a PDF file out of you notes and handouts but using the Adobe PDF printer.
    Open your PowerPoint Document then go to “File” “Print”
    Select ‘Adobe PDF” Printer
    Under slides, select which way you want to print. Note it will not print to a printer but to a PDF file.
    After then go into printer Properties and Setup PDF properties, do the following: (see second image below)
    Default: PDF/A 1-b
    Adobe Security: none (change as needed)
    Adobe Output folder: Prompt for Adobe file name
    Adobe Page size: Letter (change as needed)
    Check the following check boxes
    View Adobe PDf Results,
    Add Document Information,
    Rely on system fonts only,
    Delete Log files for successful jobs.
    Select OK
    A pop will ask you where you want to save the document. The file extension should be PDF. After giving the file name select okay and the file should popup as a PDF. Down side is if you want to speaker notes included then you will have to do another file, like wise with just screen shots then combine into one PDF document.
    I used Acrobat IX Pro. So to do this you need Acrobat IX or X Pro.
    Hope this will help.

  • How can you take a video including music from IPhoto and put it onto a disk?

    How can you take a video including music from IPhoto and put it onto a disk?

    You need burn software which will author/encode the movie so it can be viewed using any DVD player - there is iDVD (still available as part of the retail 09 or 11 iLife disks at online resellers including ebay and Amazon) or Roxio Toast ($$) or Burn (free, but very basic).

    You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.

  • Hi, im tinkering with mpeg streamclip and its giving me problems because it won't open my ripped dvd files from my desktop. It keeps giving me the same message "no VOB files can be found". Can anyone help me, this doesn't make sense.

    hi, im tinkering with mpeg streamclip and its giving me problems because it won't open my ripped dvd files from my desktop. It keeps giving me the same message "no VOB files can be found". Can anyone help me, this doesn't make sense. I also found online that you need Apple Mpeg-2 playback component in order to use mpeg streamclip. Even though I have OS X Lion, should I download the add-on?

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • Can you put back the letter index to make selection of the files easy?

    I have well over 1000 pdf papers and it is tedious to scroll the list to find the right file to open.  The old versions had a column on the right with letters which act as an index, but with the recent upgrade or downgrade, that has somehow disappeared.
    Can you put it back?
    Thanks,

    Thanks for your feedback. We are working with our designers to work out a solution.
    Meanwhile, please consider using Search on top of the file list to look for your documents. You can tap on the status bar to quickly navigate to the top, pull down the list to reveal the Search bar and type portions of your filename to search and open them.
