How to import a DVD

I want to import my paid for DVD's onto my computer just like you would import a cd to put on an ipod. The apple service guy said he could not tell me how because it is not in their software agreement at apple, so I'm hoping someone can help me. Basically, I'd like to burn the DVD's onto my ipod.

res425, Welcome to the discussion area!
There are sites out there with this information.
You should be aware that it is against US federal law to break the encryption used on the DVD. To import the DVD you must break the encryption. Therefore it is against the law to import a DVD to your hard drive. That is why the Apple "service guy" didn't give you more information.

How do import from DVD?

I've got a band performance on DVD that I want to import and add a reworked soundtrack to (that I've done in GB).
I've loaded the DVD and it plays the DVD but I can't work out how to import what I'm seeing on the DVD into iMovie. I try to import but can't find the DVD "file".
Any ideas?
Cheers
Dick

This isn't the best forum for your question Zoomman.
But if the DVD is protected, you might need something like Mac the Ripper and Hand brake (MtR to extract, HB to convert to QT files) to get the video you want off of the DVD.

How to import a DVD to imovie?

I would want to import a DVD to imovie to make a film .Is it possible ?

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.
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.

How to import a dvd file on final cut express

I don't have a camcorder. The footage I want to work on is on a dvd. Is it possible to import it and if yes how? When I open the DVD on my desktop, I have two folder. One audio and one video. The files extension in the video folder are .bup .ifo .vob. Is it possible to convert the files without loosing quality?
What do you suggest ?
Many thanks

Search would give you lots of results for this
Basically you need to encode the DVD's MPEG2 file to a format FCE understands, like DV/HDV
You can use software like MPEG Streamclip or DVxDVD to do this

How to import my dvd movie into ipad?

I own some movies that I would like to import into my ipad, the same way I can do with music CDs. How do I do it? I don’t find the option, and don’t want to believe that my only option is to pay twice for the same movie (buying it again from iTunes store). Help?

If your DVD's are encrypted, Hollywood doesn't want you to be able to figure out how to copy them. Encryption is used in all store bought DVD's.

How to import a DVD movie into FCEHD

I need to import a home movie that is on a DVD into FCEHD.

Hi Larry.
If you read this post it should give you some useful information:-
Ian R. Brown, "How Do You Convert a DVD video to an mpeg video?" #2, 06:02am Oct 10, 2005 CDT
Also, as well as HandBrake you could try ffmpegx which will give you better quality as you can convert the MPEG2 files into DV and import it directly into FCE.
It is Shareware. You can use it free of charge but if you find it extremely useful they would like you to make a payment - I think it is $15.

How to import from DVD (VOB files)

I have PP CS4 version 4.2.1 and am using it on a Windows 7 - 64 bit machine. I have tried several different ways to import the VOB files in order to edit. I am able to view each of the VOB files in the Source Monitor, but I can't seem to put them together. That is, the video I want to edit is found on four of the VOB files.
I have also used AVS Video Converter 6 to rip the VOB files into one AVI file, but when I import the AVI file the video plays at what looks like about double speed and gets way out of sync with the audio.
I am a Premiere Pro newbie, but have lots of experience with Dreamweaver and creating websites. In fact, the final product will be a Flash video.
Any help will be appreciated.

What is the CODEC you used when converting?

How to import/capture DVD or CD-ROM video into FCE4 to edit?

No copyright issues here. The DVDs are public relations material from government agencies or private companies that WANT their material to be used.
How to get this off the disc and into Final Cut Express 4 in a format that can be edited?
g.

One of the most common questions on this forum. The Search feature would have resulted in lots of info.
Basically you need to convert the DVD's MPEG2 format to a video format FCE can work with, like DV or HDV
You can use software solutions like MPEG Streamclip or DVxDVD to do the conversion. MPEG Streamclip is free but you need to purchase Apple's MPEG Playback Component to make it work
If you have a DV cam with pass thru capabilities, you can also try hooking the DVD player to the cam via analog cable then hooking the cam to the puter via Firewire. You would then select FCE's DV Converter easy setup and use Capture Now
No matter which solution you use, you may experience some quality loss when you go back to DVD

How to import a dvd to itunes

I have a 2.88 GB DVD (in universal disk format) that I burned from a video I shot. I'd like to bring it into (publish) iTunes so I can easily show it and so I can send it to others. When I use the menu and select "Add to library" with the video selected that is in my drive, I get a folder with Video-TS and Audio-TS. If I click "Open" nothing happens. So I'm not sure what to do.

You need to convert the Video-TS file into a MPEG-4 (mp4) file. You don't need the Audio-TS file. If you look in the Audio-TS folder you'll see that it's empty. I would use an APP like Handbrake to convert it.
Heres what I would do and make sure you have permission to do it.
Drag the Video-TS file to do the Desktop. Once downloaded, open the Video-TS file in Handbrake and convert it to MPEG-4 using the H.264 Video Codec. See the example below. You can set the resolution to fit yor needs.
