Convert a Video_ts folder to Quicktime?

Is there any way I can do what my subject is? I have a DVD made by my niece's Sony "Handycam" that I would like to edit for her in iMovie but I can't figure out a way to get it into iMovie.
Thanks,

How can my ibook convert a VIDEO_TS folder or VIDEO_TS.IFO file to a .dv fi

5/27/2009. how can my ibook convert a DVD's VIDEO_TS folder or VIDEO_TS.IFO file to a .dv file? That is, in order to do some editing on it? Will QuickTime pro do this? Will Roxio Toast do this? How??? Many thanks. C. Yopst, Chicago area.

Use [MPEG Streamclip|http://www.squared5.com> (free) to convert the VOB files in the VIDEO_TS folder to DV. You will also need the [MPEG-2 component|http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2> ($20) to be able to open and convert these files.
This is of course assuming you have full rights to the footage or permission from the copyright holder to use the files.

Converting From Video_TS to Quicktime

I am working on a project and some of the footage I have to work with is from a local TV news cast. They sent a DVD which plays on the DVD player, but I can't omport it to FCP or Quicktime. What is the best and fastest way to convert a Video_TS file into Quicktime? Can it be done?

MPEG Streamclip will open and export to QT formats footage from a non commercial DVD.

Question is why a TV station would want you to edit heavily encoded m2v files.

how to convert Video_TS folder in to a img. file ?

I don't no how this happen, my project was built in a Video_TS + Audio_TS folder and a dmg. file was create. I did not save the project and all I have are those files ... I want to have a img. file that I can burn using Disk Utility. How can I do this ?
Merci,
Jean

Hi Jean,
I'm slightly confused by your post. You say that a DMG file was created, right? A DMG file is the type of image file that is burned by disk utility. IMG files are image files that are burned on Windows PCs. So, if you have already have a DMG file, just open it in disk utility and burn. However, if you only have the Video_ts folder, and wish to make it into a DMG, then you can use the free utility DVD Imager which will create a DMG out of a Video_ts folder. Good Luck!

Making copy of a DVD that has no VIDEO_TS folder

A friend of mine made me a DVD on a home DVD video recorder. The DVD plays fine. However, when I mount it and take a look inside, there is no VIDEO_TS folder. There is not anything at all! I want to extract part of the DVD but don't know where to begin without a VIDEO_TS folder to view the VOB files. None of my usual backup or VOB extraction apps seem to work. ANy suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Mitch

If it is a video DVD then those files MUST be there!
You need to convert the VOB files back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
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.

Mux a Video_TS folder in Applescript... Any suggestions?

Hi folks
Trying to do something rather complicated and wondered if anyone had any ideas.
I'm working on making an Applescript that will create multiple encodes of a video through Compressor. Got this working but then come the following to-do's:
1. Create a Video_TS folder out of an M2V and AC3 file I've made.
2. Burn the resultant Video_TS folder and a WMV onto a UDF DVD.
Can anyone suggets how to do either of these within an Applescript. Don't mind mixing multiple Apps to achieve it (ffmpegx, Toast, etc.) and at the moment am just looking to create a DVD that plays 1 video on insertion into a DVD player.
Any thoughts from anyone?
Thanks
John

Try these guys - great app for converting files.

I need to transfer a Video_TS folder to my iPad but am unable

Hello,
I have an iPad 2 which I use extensively in education. I have access to all my PPTs, documents, articles etc.
However I need to transfer a video_TS folder from m laptop to my iPad and am unable to do this. I tried importing the folder to iTunes but failed.
I also tried transferring it to iFiles and Dropbox but that also failed
Its' very ackward as I now have to bring both my Macbook and iPad to work.
On my Macbook the folder opens with DVD Player.
Any support would be greatly appreciated

Hello Niel,
I used MPEG Streamclip for a Video_TS file but the resulting conversion was huge going from 2.5 GB to 8GB, far too big to fit on my iPad.
I tried Movavi trial version which worked but as I don't need to convert any more video_TS folders its pointless paying for the full version. The trial version has a message displayed on screen intermittently during playback of converted file. Therfore this is unsuitable too.
Is there a way of reducing video size with MPEG Streamclip? The user interface is very hard to interpret.
Also on another issue can you tell me if its safe to use 'Box' on Macs? It's similar to Dropbox but gives a bigger data allowance?
Thank you in advance

Create Dual Layer Video_TS folder?

I don't have a Superdrive on this MacBook but I do on my other PC. I want to create a Dual Layer DVD Video_TS folder to transfer over to my PC and burn. The option is greyed out in the project properties window to select dual layer disc. I want to enable it somehow so I can see if my project will fit the Dual Layer disc limit.
Any ideas?

If you can create a DL disk image you can convert it over to an iso dimage either on the Mac or on the PC. There are a number of sites discussing it:
macosxhints.com - Convert .dmg files to .iso files for burning ...
convert iso dmg - Mac Support
It all depends on whether you can create the disk image of the DL project. I don't know if you can.

Can I convert a DVD video to Quicktime, and edit the frames in .jpg files?

I received a DVD of my wedding. It plays well as a movie on my Windows laptop, running Windows 8.1.
I would like to remove differents frames, as .jpg files, to send people.
Can this be done by converting the DVD movie into Quicktime, removing the desired frames, and saving as .jpg files?

The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:

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. (The same applies to Mountain Lion even though that has it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

DVD Player no longer plays a VIDEO_TS folder.

I used to be able to play a VIDEO_TS folder that I had ripped from a DVD into a hard disk. There is still "Open DVD Media" on the File menu, but when I select a VIDEO_TS folder it pops up an error window: "There was a problem opening the media. The media type is not supported." This always worked fine before Mountain Lion.
Any ideas?

Burn a dvd from a VIDEO_TS folder

Hi all, this is sily, i have done this before i know i have, i cannot do it now !
I have a Folder named VIDEO_TS on my hard drive, it contains the contents of a video that i want to burn onto a DVD DL disc
So far today i have wasted 4 disc's trying 4 different programs, including Burn and Terminal, but nothing works.
the video plays fine on my Lap Top.
I just dont understand why i am struggling. i have even tried a Windows program "imgburn" but still no good
i dont mind buying an App for the job, but which one. I do not want to waste any more disc's, they aint cheap !.
tim

You need video authoring burn software; I use either Roxio Toast or iDVD:
It is no longer included with the OS, but you can buy a retail version of iLife 11 (or 09 for that matter) from online retailers; it contains iDVD - in my humble opinion, the very best burn software because of its' customizable menus and themes. You can make your masterpiece. I don't know how it would work since you already have a Video_TS folder (which is what you can create with iDVD), so you can't go backwards. In this case, Roxio Toast is the best idea (but no customizable or snazzy menus). I do not have the Pro version - I tried the blu-ray plugin and tested it; could not see a difference on my HDTV, so I decided to burn as close to HD as I could (camera shoots video in 1920X1080p) and forego the expensive blu-ray disks.
For future use, I'd recommend looking into iDVD as well:

Burning playable DVD from VIDEO_TS Folder

A friend of mine had a DVD Demo Reel that was damaged and wouldn't play, so i was able to rip the files (VIDEO_TS) folder onto my hard drive from the DVD using MacTheRipper.
Is there a program (preferably free) that i can burn the VIDEO_TS folder to a DVD so it will be playable in a DVD Player? I used to use Discribe to do it (came free with my ext burner) but i can't get that program to work on my new MacBookPro.
ANY help is greatly appreciated!

From EncoreCS3 DVD-9 VIDEO_TS folder to replication house via DDP (mastering steps in GEAR etc.)

Ok, the "solution" or steps I'm trying to provide here is not complete, just the way I see it now. We will do it this way as we want to deliver the DVD-9 dual layer DDP master to the replication house. The intention is that this should be corrected or fullfilled in order so that in the end we have a proper guide for everyone here, so people, read this, and share you info and if there is anything to be corrected or tips for making things work better.
Here we go:
Let's assume we have created successfully a VIDEO_TS folder from Encore CS3, meaning we have not set a layer break yet, but otherwise we have a working product.
STEP 1. SET THE LAYER BREAK IN GEAR Mastering Edition, guide http://www.gearsoftware.com/howtoguides/dvdvideobreakpoint.cfm
Possible problems: non-seamless cells don't exist in the layer break window
Possible solution: Use PGCEdit to change the cell type from seamless to non-seamless. This happens by opening the VIDEO_TS folder with PGCEdit and then double clicking on the VTS which holds the layer break point "window" (the VTS you chose in GEAR). Then you deselect the seamless joint checkbox in the cell (making it non-seamsless) you want to use as the layer break. Then you press OK and save the DVD. After that you create a new project in GEAR, do the layerbreak calculations based on the newly changed VIDEO_TS (with the non-seamless cell) and re-open the selected VTS_xx_0.IFO now in IFOEdit where you can now find the a proper non-seamless cell address for the layer break. Now you should be able to finish setting the non-seamless layer break in GEAR.
Question: Do we have to and do we need to have the When saving, leave at least 32K of space between IFO and BUP" from the Options to be on when we do this in seamless joint change and save the dvd in PGCedit?
STEP 2. CREATE DDP IMAGE FROM THE PROJECT, guide: http://www.gearsoftware.com/howtoguides/dvdvideotoddp.cfm
STEP 3. TEST THE DDP IMAGE BY BURNING IT ON DVD-R DVD-9
First you need to restore the DDP Image you just created, guide http://www.gearsoftware.com/howtoguides/restoreddpimage.cfm
Burn the restored VIDEO_TS folder to DVD-9 with GEAR, guide
http://www.gearsoftware.com/howtoguides/burndvdmovies.cfm
STEP 4. SEE HOW THE PRODUCT LOOKS LIKE WITH THE LAYER BREAK SET
-If the product looks good and the layer break makes you satisfied, deliver the DDP image to replication factory for replication.
.............Ok people, share your thoughts if something is wrong or if you got points to remember, answers to the questions given, suggest changes, or even better, write here a better version of this guide? The aim would be in the end having a guide which says all the required things in order to achieve a successfull DVD-9 project.

Neil, once again, thanks a lot.
>The seamless/non-seamless question is a bit of a non-issue unless you are using multiple camera angles, as this is all it refers to. Unless you have multiple angles, ignore this completely.
In Multiple Angles (unsupported in Encore anyway) Seamless means there is no pause in playback when switching between angles. That is all.
So, I really thought the seamless/non-seamless would have affect on the actually layer switching when playing the DVD, so that it might affect the slight layer switch pause time. It's just that the gear guide says that you need to find a non-seamless break in the IFOedit, and that's it, so I guess it is a bit missleading there in that GEAR guide. But, I'm glad you cleared this out that this only has to do something with the multiangle views.
>The 32kb of space is a "must-tick" option, otherwise you stand a high chance of having the master rejected by the factory. Nero is a bugger for running these 2 files (Video_TS.IFO & Video_TS.BUP) into what the player will see as one file.
Ok, so unless you use PGCEdit, this should be already ok in your project, right? But if you use PGCEdit for something like changing the seamless joint for multiple angles to your VIDEO_TS folder, this selection should be always on in PGCEdit.
>One gotcha though - early versions of the GEAR Spreadsheet for calculating the layer break seem to give the VTS to use the start sector from as VTS_xx_0.VOB - this is wrong.
Yeah, luckily this seems to be fixed now in the GEAR guide calculator.
Another way I've found that is useful what comes to the selecting the layer break from the layer break "window" for your project is this:
In order to know exactly where the cell starts in your video, you can use IMGBurn to preview the cells, so that you can choose the most suitable cell from the "layer break window". This means following the SET THE LAYER BREAK IN GEAR Mastering Edition guide to the point where you have found out the "layer break window". Then when going to the IFOedit you can see the cells that fall in to this window. Mark them down in your notepad and open the VIDEO_TS in IMGBurn, set the BUILD mode, choose to burn the VIDEO_TS folder and proceed the workflow ahead until you get to the set the layer break window. In this window you can preview the cells of the project, being able to see the videos of the cells. Go through the cells you marked in the IFOedit and find the cell that starts in the least disturbing place where the possible pause might occur during the moment when your dvd player changes the layer. When you've chose your cell, cancel the process and continue what you were doing in the GEAR layer break guide.
If there are any other methods for this test purpose, or if there is something I'm missing, please share?
Question about choosing the layer break cell: Is it the fact that no matter how you have bitcalculated your project size when building it in Encore, the layer break window that the GEAR spreadsheet provides you, doesn't take this into account at all? Meaning, if you choose the biggest cell number from the layer break window to be the layer break cell, it will go over the 4% overhead at the outer layer edge? If this is the case, you shouldn't use the last cells from the layer break window at all? And should we always try to choose the cell with the smallest number no matter what (in order to make the layer break as far from the layer's outer edge)?
