Classic music DVD import to DVDSPRO?

Hello every one.
I have a lot of music videos with opera, symfonic music and so on. I want to make one dvd with the "best" tracks and use it for my students. How do I import this tracks to DVDSPRO or Final Cut Pro?
Do I need a A/D converter or is it possible to do it directly from the dvds?
Thanks. - Ole, Denmark.

Sorry but I think you will not get an answer here, because such answer would violate the Terms of Use (TOU) of the Apple forum. I think that the discs you mention are copyrighted material.

  • Apple TV- Importing Music DVD's That I Own- Physical DVD's

    What is the procedure to import Music DVD's into iTunes and down to an ATV? Do I need a ripper in addition to something like MacTheRipper or Handbrake?

    itunes offers no such facility.
    also, discussions regarding such a topic are not permitted here.

  • Importing dvd's/music dvd's

    Does anyone know if music dvd's and movie dvd's can be imported to iTunes and then to the iPod? I have several I want to put in but I can't get it to work. Is there a program or a back door?

    Sorry, per the terms of usage , we cannot discuss tops along the lines of ripping DVD's since doing so would require breaking the encryption on said discs - a violations of the DMCA. In other words - illegal.

  • Importing a music dvd onto my mac

    Hi guys
    I am wodering how I can import a music dvd onto my Mac so i can a make a copy. It doesnt seem to be quite as simple as a cd. Thanks

    Why the sanctimonious reaction will remain a mystery
    Wow, I've been called a lot of things in my life--for some reason, none of them good things
    The point is that DVD decrypting is illegal in many parts of the world, including the USA, where Apple Computer, Inc. seems to be headquartered, and where these discussion forums are hosted.

  • Importing classical music

    I use iTunes 9.1.1 on Windows XP and want to import about 1.500 cd's of classical music (AAC 320 kbps). I see that every album is stored in folders the following way: first name of the artist and then in a subfolder the name of the album. (Artist / Album). For classical music that's not logical. Logical is: Composer / Album / Artist. Is there a possibility to change that?
    I also heard some rumours aout a new version of iTunes this summer. I hope there are some extra features on managing large libraries better. For example: if you have more than one library, you can hold the shift-key while clicking the iTunes icon for a popup that let you choose the library you want. That is rather complex. Why not a on-off box in the advanced properties tab in the Edit -Preferences menu option?
    Thanks for an answer

    For classical music I tend to use the Composer as the Artist & Album Artist and either discard the performer details or place these into the Comments field.
    If you're really particular about how your tracks get organised at the file & folder level then MediaMonkey has some extensive renaming tools. The drawback with using these is you then have to remove & reimport all your tracks from iTunes. I have been working on a script called FilenameFromTag to manage renaming my tracks just the way I want which also updates iTunes as part of the process. It is still kind of a work in progress but if you're interested you could tweak it to rename your files just the way you like. You simply select some tracks, call the script, and it renames them accordingly. At the moment it doesn't tidy up emptied folders or relocate folder art but I hope to import these features from the CleanDeadArt project soon.

  • Import music dvd to itunes

    Hi all, new to this and can't figure out how to download my live music dvds so I can hear the music on my ipod. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    You might try Audacity. It will, I believe, allow you to record the sound output of your computer. This is legal as far as I know (the so-called "analog loophole") as it doesn't involve breaking the encryption. It is a bit of a pain but it should work.

  • Music DVD

    Can I download music from a music DVD,  to iTunes (on a PC), then on to my iPoc classic? If so, how? Thanks

    on toast you can create music DVD's, but not the type that you are thinking about. it will creat .mp3 or .wav files that will playback on compatible players.
    on DVD Studio Pro you cannot create the same type of music DVD's. also, you cannot creat Audio DVD's.
    hope that helps

  • Why is iTunes11 against classical music?

    As someone involved in the international regulation of cyberspace and the standards that enable it to function, I have watched Apple recently make a number of mistakes that are increasingly isolating it from governments and the commercial, particularly business, marketplace.  Their non-participation in many of the key international committees in our collaborative world is a pity, not just for Apple, but for its customers - including me. In particular, they aren't participating in key cybersecurity groups, so there is a real possibility in the future that Apple's hardware will be physically unable to connect to any trusted network for the handling of sensitive information, such as your patient record.  Their folly is breathtaking.   I am discovering more shortcomings in Apples latest products, which is a pity.  Most of these affect me professionally.
    However, this one affects me personally.  It is their refusal to engage with loyal customers that is the most frustrating issue - you can tell by the mood in these support communities.  What has really got me is the way in which Apple has really gone to war on classical music folks in iTunes 11, by removing a wide range of controls for managing and listening to tracks (not songs, these are (media) tracks, Apple, not all musicians are singers!).  In iTunes 11, Apple has completely failed to understand that Albums have Artists (as well as Album Artists) and Composers.  And Composers are at least as important as Albums or Artists. 
    In iTunes 11, when I click on an Album, I cannot get it to show a composer for the tracks on the Album under any circumstances.  Worse, when you search on a composer using keywords, it doesn't find all the tracks for that composer (so there is a problem in the search engine, which worked fine previously).  So my/our ability to sort our music to listen to albums or tracks by a specific composer, which has been in iTunes for as long as I can remember, has gone in iTunes 11.  So too has reliable, accurate searching.  What a shambles.  It lays bare Apple's failure to test products properly - I regret to say this is happening elsewhere with an increasing frequency.
    Has anyone found a way to correct Apple's massive errors and restore the flexibility of iTunes10 in iTunes11 to:
    reconfigure the Album window so that it displays attributes that the user requires, not what Apple's uncultured nerd limits the user to seeing.
    extend the View options which are far too limited.  This is a database, so I should have enough controls to manage and view the data
    configure the Bar that has Songs, Albums, Artists, Genres, Videos and Radio to add other attributes, particularly Composers and Album Artist
    find ways to sort by any attribute in other views.  I can only get the attribute list to show when you have Songs selected.
    For Apple.  Pay attention - I want my flexibility back!!  Remember Apple - the Customer is Always Right! 

    You are SO right about making things useful to the user:
    Interactions should be minmal to achieve what the user wants to do or what the user does most-often, not what you might want them to do and not trying to alter how they want to do it, particularly if it makes it less intuitive.
    User interfaces should be natural and intuitive, not convoluted nor indirect, requiring the least thought and action, with ALL natural actions being in front of the user at EACH and EVERY step of a process.
    'Pretty' should be an addition or an option, way down the list past 'Functional' and 'Usable'.
    It matters less, strangely, what genre or type we're discussing, the issues are the same:  things which were once easy, natural and intuitive now require more actions in many cases to achieve the desired results while things that are decorative but less useful require few (but not always fewER) actions.
    Saddening, isn't it?

  • What does iTunes match do to my indexing scheme for classical music?

    Over the years I developed a fair-sized collection of classical music CDs. It took time to decide on a scheme to pigeon-hole them into iTunes, but I did a fair job of putting them in by genre (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, etc.).
    Then I standardized the composer names. The problem was that the online CD library was not consistent. Sometimes Mendelssohn was entered as F. Mendelssohn, other times as Mendelssohn, Felix, etc.
    Additional problems arise when you want to find all piano concertos in a minor key or symphonies that are scored for triple winds.
    Anyone still reading is probably a musician and may understand these idiosyncrasies of classical music taxonomy. What happens when there are alternate endings or even movements (e.g., Mahler)? What happens when there are different orchestrators of the same piece (e.g., Pictures at an Exhibition)? What happens when you have multiple recordings of the same piece either played by different artists or the same artist at different times in his/her life (Gould)?
    So, as much as I'm interested in iTunes Match, I'm concerned that it may not provide enough information about the music it finds and/or will screw up the index system I have created for my roughly 1000 CDs.
    Can anyone shed some light on how iTunes Match works with classical music?
    Thank you.

    I'm wondering if anyone can give advice about how to move a classical CD library to iTunes match cloud storage starting from scratch -- that is to say, nothing is presently in iTunes or on computer yet.
    And has anyone has tried Amazon cloud music for the same function, is it easier?
    I have a few hundred CDs, 99% classical, and have never ripped or digitized them. So my library is entirely on the original CDs, and I dread spending hundreds of hours loading them one by one into a computer drive, copying them, and then having iTunes match try to upload and "match" it.
    However, some of my CDs date to the 1980s and although they have no scratches (I care for them very gently) they seem to be corroding. So much for a lifetime of music.
    I don't even have a CD/DVD on my Mac so I will have to buy a Superdrive -- or could I use a networked CD/DVD from an old Windows PC?
    So, does anyone know if:
    (1) can iTunes match recognize a CD as soon as its inserted, if it is indeed a match, save time? 
    (2) If not, for those who have "ripped" to iTunes many classical CDs, what are some tips so that tracks are handled properly -- what format for lossless copying, how to ensure the different movements of a symphony are not shuffled, operas don't have weird pauses between tracks, etc.; and what format so that playback is as close to original quality as possible
    (3) Are there any 3rd party programs that will save time so I don't have to type in all the info -- composer, orchestra, conductor, lead performer... I'd like all that in the library on the Mac but with me having to take as little time as possible to type it in. Any way to take a PDF of the liner note booklet and "link" the scan to the electronic version of the disc that's in the cloud iTunes match so I could keep the liner notes online too? Any 3rd party programs that can take the barcode from the back of the disc and match with an already-online copy of the liner notes so I don't have to spend hours scanning booklets?
    (4) Any services where for a reasonable sum I can ship my CDs and have someone else take care of all this?
    Would appreciate any pointers. Thanks!

  • Listening to classical music

    I just got my Blackberry curve and it is great - except for the issues I am having with music downloads.  I bought two full albums of classical music on iTunes.  I had no problem synching the current music I bought through iTunes.  But, when I tried to synch the classical music I bought using the Media Synch app, they will not synch - Proteched (Digital Rights Management). 
    I am very confused.  I don't understand how to figure out in iTunes whether things are going to synch or not synch (protected or not protected).  Also, I could care less where I buy my music.  Is there a better place to buy music to avoid this issue?  I assumed that since the blackberry software referenced iTunes, it would be fully compatable.  Obviously, it is not.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I need to learn this music for my church choir and I bought this blackberry to replace my phone AND my ipod - so the music aspect is a priority for me!
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The problem lies within the song files themselves.  Partly to blame is Apple and iTunes also.  When you say "current" and "classical" music, are you talking about the time they were purchased thru iTunes?  That's probably why your current songs are able to sync, and the older ones not.
    Basically what it comes down to is the difference in the types of song files that you purchased.  iTunes only until just recently embedded a form of "copy protection" called Digital Rights Management (DRM) into the songs you purchase/download that would only let you play/sync those songs on matched Apple branded software and devices, thus preventing you from simply copying the file and giving it to a friend for free to play on their iPod or other player without paying for it themselves.  It's much like how you can't just simply pop a DVD into your computer and copy it to another disc.  You will never, through legal means, be able to play those copy-protected files on your BlackBerry.
    The way to tell if an iTunes song is copy-protected is to either look at the song's info/properties option in iTunes, or check the file's extension.  If the extension is ".m4p" it's protected
    To avoid this issue in the future you can either illegally remove the DRM from the song files using decryption software, buy only songs in iTunes that are designated "iTunes Plus" (which are not copy protected and is supposed to be the new standard for all songs in the iTunes store as of now, and may cost extra), or use another digital music store such as Amazon, eMusic, Napster, etc. - where they do not apply copy protection to any of their files (although sometimes sacrificing hardly-noticeable sound quality).  I personally recommend Amazon since the quality is above standard, and usually songs are a full 10 cents cheaper than the iTunes store.  The only obstacle that you sometimes will run into is that the selection on those other sites may not be as vast as iTunes.
    DRM and iTunes is considered by some consumers as a marketing scheme and infringement of ownership rights - iTunes software is free, but if you want to play purchased music outside of that program, you are forced to use/buy an iPod.  When you purchase a CD, it is phsically yours to own and you can do whatever you want with it - play it on any CD player, sell it, lend it to someone to listen to, etc.  With DRM encrypted music that is not the case and you can't do any of those things, but you're still paying the same money for it as if you were buying a CD, so many feel you should have the same capabilities/rights.

  • Music DVD .. 10 Hours of Audio? Slideshow??

    Roxio Toast has a Music DVD option that can add hours of audio on a single DVD.
    I tried to look for info on how to do this in Encore .. but there is nothing.
    As a slideshow, my test only had three audio files .. which took up 1/4 of the disk.
    What is the smallest audio file to import into Encore? I used a mp3. I saw a transcoding menu pop-up that converted the m.mp3 to ac3
    Can I save space and steps to do this?
    Anybody make a Music DVD before?

    Music DVD - how I have come to loathe that description, along with the equally ghastly "Audio DVD".
    Both usually mean DVD-Video containing music, and should definitely not get confused with DVD-Audio although well authored DVD-A discs will also play on video only players.

    Frequently - Encore is somewhat limited in this respect because the DVD specifications were not really set up with audio playback as the primary stream type so it's always a bit of a fudge getting things right as changing any video or graphic asset forces the audio to change right along with it.
    I suspect that the Roxio app you mention is cheating by what it is not telling you - reading it carefully I see no mention of any visuals or imagery being used, so I think it is simply taking one timeline of audio and matching it up to a blank video stream, and allowing you to add markers as chapter marks.
    The result would be many hours of audio to blank screens....
    Launch Encore.
    At the splash, choose "New Project" and set according to TV Standard - PAL if in Europe, NTSC just about everywhere else.
    Set "Default Transcode Settings" to suit - automatic transcoding to a maximum of 6 mbps (just to be safe) and the audio form to Dolby Digital.
    To get this done the best way is to get all your audio imported into a project first. I would not use MP3 if I could use anything else as it is a form that is already heavily data reduced, and is also not a DVD legal format so must be changed into one that is. Encore will do this automatically to either LPCM or Dolby Digital (depending on your project transcode settings) by decoding the MP3 back to 32-bit floating point PCM and from there into Dolby Digital (ac3) at 192 kbps which is about the same as the average mp3 file. Downside here is that a heavily reduced file just got even more heavily reduced so quality loss is a very high possibility as despite the claims of Roxio, Dolby Digital is not particularly high quality. But I digress.
    Now, you can have up to 99 titles in any DVD, each one with up to 99 chapters.
    So, put any imported asset to a new timeline, and add chapter markers as needed.
    Do not add any video or graphical assets as this will trigger video encoding which will greatly reduce the available space.
    You will need eiother a basic menu, or else you will have to link everything together in the flowchart, making sure you set a FIRST PLAY and to link the end action of one timeline to the start of the next or you will get a coaster. It might be a good plan to get a +RW disc and practise this a few times.
    Now - adding any still images is difficult. If the audio is segued, you cannot do a slideshow - even with Scenarist! All you can do if the audio is segued (a live performance, or a continuous piece) is either not have chapter points or have one "slideshow" per piece. You can only do this in a standard timeline set to blank (not black) video.
    Compile and test - you will have a disc full of straight audio.

  • Copy Music DVD to itunes

    How do I copy my new Andrea Bocelli music DVD into itunes?

    I regularly import my new CD's into itunes and yet they are also encrypted.
    No, CDs aren't generally encrypted.
    I purchased the CD's in precisely the same manner as my new music DVD and from the above reply it would appear that I am precluded from enjoying my legally purchased DVD on my own Ipod;
    Yup, that's correct.
    however, if I had purchased a music DVD from itunes I could only then import this live music onto my Ipod (and possibly create a backup DVD as well?) - surely logic dictates that something is seriously amiss?
    The iTunes Store doesn't sell DVDs. Video content sold by the iTunes Store can be back up to a DVD but not burned to a DVD that can be played on a regular DVD player.
    There simply must be someone out there to help me with a method and means to get my music DVD onto my Ipod, as this is very important to me.
    I gave you the only method that can be talked about on these forums.

  • Classical music playlists

    Hi,
    Desperately seeking software tools to aid in building classical music playlists that sort the symphony movements correctly.  There are no standards in the classical world to labeling the different movements--typically, four (or five) movements to a symphony.  Order is important in classical music.  Any leads?

    It's the age old story of Mohammed and the mountain. If the tags in the files don't allow you to do what you want, then you have to bite the bullet and change the tags.
    I don't have much experience with classical, but give me an example of what's giving you trouble and I'll see if I can help.

    What happened to your classical music access on iTunes? I could not find any way to get to it today.

    Insert the CD. Before you Import, select the tracks
    you want to play as one.
    Go to Advanced menu, select Join CD Tracks, then
    import.
    Thanks for this, which solves the CD problem. But is it possible to join the tracks of a CD I buy and download from the iTunes store? The Join CD Tracks isn't highlighted, which suggests the only possibility is to join them before I download. Is that possible?

  • Classical Music storing and sorting

    Hi all,
    I love classical music and have a lot of them in my iTunes and iPod 30G.
    I'm used to editing their tags like this:
    - Name: BWV 1048 - Brandenburg Concertos #3 In G - 1. Allegro
    - Artist: Capella Istropolitana/ Bohdan Warchal
    - Album: Bach: Brandenburg Concertos
    - Composer: Bach, Johann Sebastian
    But I think that this is not quite nice, because:
    - The name of this masterpiece is "Brandenburg Concertos #3"
    - "BWV 1048" is a sorting method, not a name
    - "In G" and "1. Allegro" are like suffixes of the name, the tune and the movement
    - "Capella Istropolitana" is an artist, but "Bohdan Warchal", the conductor, other artist
    Does anyone have a tip for me, to store and sort my music better?
    Thanks!
    Aldo

    As you say, in Classical music the composer is more important than the performer. Personally, I put the composer in the 'Artist' field as well as the composer field, and list the performers in the 'Info' section along with recording dates, venues, etc. Also, I put the 'year' as the year of composition, rather than the year of recording. For the track titles I just have the title or indication of the movement, eg 'Allegro' and use the track numbering to put them in the right order. So your example would end up as:
    - Name: Allegro
    - Track #: 1 of 3
    - Artist: Johann Sebastian Bach
    - Album: Brandenburg Concerto #3 In G, BWV 1048
    - Year: 1721
    - Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
    - Notes: Capella Istropolitana/ Bohdan Warchal
    The downside of this is that you end up with lots of tracks called 'Allegro' and 'Adagio'!
