1:1 Video DVD Copy

I author many DVDs professionally. They are without any protection etc. Just ordinary 4.3Gb discs with a simple menu sometimes.
How ever advanced some of the involved tasks may be, I can't find a way to do the following simple work:
-Insert original in DVD drive A
-Insert blank DVD in drive B
-Let a program copy disc A to B, WITHOUT any re-encoding, manipulating, etc.etc.  Just a blind copy of a fully functional Video DVD
How can this be done?

Correct, IMAGE BURN can do it on the fly:
Read a disk blind as an ISO and simultaneously save it back on an empty one.
A one click copy with a fully functional Video DVD. No encoding or other lossy fiddling.
I found it out myself, but still, thanks for the correct answer!

  • Copying Home video DVD, converting PAL to NTSC

    I have a home video DVD in PAL format that I would like to convert to NTSC. I have tried to look up the settings in Disk Utility but that was no help.
    Can this be done through iMovie? I don't have FCP so I understand I'm at a big disadvantage here. Any help?

    Great hearing for you all! I thought I was all alone this past weekend. I did learn a lot this weekend. I really like the InDesign product.(half-the-battle) But to be helped by the prestigious “Sandee Cohen” was an honor indeed.”  I ordered the InDesign CC today.  Peter, I appreciate all the feedback on Lynda too. They are loaded with lots of good videos. Derek too honed in on one of the most important aspects!  Since I have been working with Word for most of the first portion of the book this will be a big help. I looked at the comments big help ! Thanks a ton ALL!  Have a wonder day or evening whenever you read this reply.

  • Import home video DVD's into iMovie

    I want to import my home video DVD's into iMovie for editing and backup. What is the best way to do this? I have already tried creating a disk image, but somehow when I open these images with iMovie, some parts of the original video are missing. (for example the video on DVD is 60 minutes, but the video opened on iMovie is 50 minutes). I also tried to convert to MPEG 2 using MPEG Streamclip, and purchased the MPEG2 Playback component from Apple Store, but it turns out that this component was intended for earlier versions of OS X, so I could not even install it. I am currently at a lockdown, please help me out!!!

    There are directions on the MPEG Streamclip website on how to get the MPEG2 Playback component installed on your computer (I'm assuming your running Mac OS X 10.7). I'm cutting and pasting them here in case someone else runs into the same problems.
    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.
    Also read the information for Snow Leopard below.
    Snow Leopard and MPEG-2 Playback Component
    The Snow Leopard upgrade DVD released on August 28, 2009 may wipe the content of the /System/Library/QuickTime folder during the upgrade process, and delete your MPEG-2 Playback Component installed in that folder. To use MPEG-2 files with MPEG Streamclip you have to reinstall the MPEG-2 component or restore it from a backup copy.
    If you are going to upgrade to Snow Leopard
    Open the /System/Library/QuickTime folder and drag the QuickTimeMPEG2.component file to your desktop to make a copy of it. Then upgrade to Snow Leopard. When the upgrade is complete, open the /System/Library/QuickTime folder again and move the QuickTimeMPEG2.component file from the desktop to the /System/Library/QuickTime folder (enter your administrator password if necessary).
    If you already upgraded to Snow Leopard
    You have to reinstall or restore your MPEG-2 Playback Component.
    If you have a Time Machine backup of your System folder, then open the /System/Library/QuickTime folder, enter Time Machine and go back in time until you see the QuickTimeMPEG2.component file; select that file and then click Restore.
    If you purchased the MPEG-2 Playback Component from the Apple Online Store, then you probably still have the DMG file that contains the installer. Use Spotlight to search for "QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg": if you find a file with that name, double-click it and then in the disk image, double-click the installer package for Intel Macs.
    If you purchased the MPEG-2 Playback Component from the Apple Online Store but you can't find the QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg file, you can download the file again from the Apple Online Store if you remember the Apple ID used when you originally purchased it (if you forgot your Apple ID then go to Apple iforgot). Visit the Apple Online Store, click on "Account" in the store menu, then click "Downloadable Software Purchases," enter your Apple ID and password, and click the link to the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component to download it again.
    If you obtained the MPEG-2 Playback Component from the installation of Final Cut Studio, then you can reinstall it again from the Final Cut Studio DVD. Insert the DVD and use the Finder's Go menu > Go To Folder... command to get to the /Volumes/Final Cut Studio/Installer/Packages/ folder inside the DVD. Locate the QuickTimeMPEG2.pkg or the QuickTimeMPEG2Pro.pkg installer: double-click it to reinstall the MPEG-2 component.

  • The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer - Finalized video DVD

    Suddenly I have not been able to watch video DVD’s on my MacPro OS x 10.5.8 that I have recorded with my Panasonic DVR.  I am also not able to read some data DVDs.  I am able to read other data DVD’s and all the data CD’s I’ve tried.  My PowerBook G4 is able read and play all these disks including the video DVD’s recorded on my DVR.
    I use my DVR to record TV programs off the air and to transfer home movies from my camcorder to DVD.  I finalize the disk and then watch it later on my MacPro.  I also use the DVD as a way to get home movies into iMovie for editing.
    I’ve had no problems in the 3 years I’ve been doing this.  Now when I insert a video DVD recorded with my DVR I get the following message:
    “The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer”
    Before this happened I watched a commercially produced DVD movie on my MacPro for the first time.  I suspect this DVD changed something in my MacPro’s DVD player.
    Is there a way to get my MacPro back to the state where it will read a DVD video I have recorded on my DVR?  Is there a way to use Time Machine to revert back in time before the problem started?  I am using an external drive with Time Machine for backup.
    Thanks.  Bob

    I have a panasonic dvr pretty similar to yours, I hope (DMR EH55) and to transfer stuff to dvd, you have to change the drive over to dvd, put in the blank dvd, format it, then tick off the stuff you want copied, then choose high speed copy, then you have to wait, until the stuff gets copied, and the whole process finishes- dvd in the drive says formalized, this thing is necessary so that this dvd will play in dvd players, then you have to wait until it says it's done. if the dvd is not formalized, just copied and removed , then it will probably not play in dvd players. I've done what was mentioned before, and no problems, also check the brand of media you are using, and use a brush type dvd drive cleaner on your MacPro's DVD drive
    hopefully that helps

    do you mean the "ERR:  SCR moves backwards, remultiplex input." error?
    That one can be solved by encoding to vob as opposed to mpg. I do still get the time stamp warning, but I read that they can be ignored. The problem I'm having now is this one:

    Now, to make a copy of a DVD made on another program (other than idvd, imovie, etc.) how do I do that?
    (I want to make a copy of my sister's bat-mitzvah dvd, but I don't know what program it was made on...)

  • I have a family video DVD that was originally on tape, but is now on disc. I want to import it onto my MacBook to edit and store. However the files are IFO, BUP and VOB and the Mac is saying 'unable to import' as it doesn't recognise the file. Help !!

    I have a family video DVD that was originally on tape, but is now on disc. I want to import it onto my MacBook to edit and store. However the files are IFO, BUP and VOB and the Mac is saying 'unable to import' as it doesn't recognise the file. Help please !!!!!

    Those are the constituent parts of a standard mpeg2 DVD. Storing them is easy: just copy the folder to your hard drive and they will play in DVD player or VLC.
    But that format is not intended for editing. To do so:
    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://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (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.

  • Move video dvd+menu to Mac to play it?

    I have video dvd which I wish to move to my MacBook and so I can play it everywhere; of course I want to keep the interactive menu.
    If I made dvd image I have to decompress image when I want to play file?!?
    What tool and how to convert this dvd?

    You are forgetting what I wrote: I want to keep the interactive menu.
    My scope is to preserve a file copy of my dvd because this media is not eternal, I'm sure there is no protect otherwise I would not have published this article.
    Handbrake doesn't keep menu structure during conversion process, but I think any ripping software is not able to do it so I thought a kind of image disk to play which keeps compression format with menu.
    Some can help me?

  • GX660 DVD drive will not play video DVDs

    For some reason the DVD drive in my GX660 refuses to recognise video DVD discs.
    DVDs with binary data and audio CDs will be read fine, but inserting a video DVD --any video DVD-- just results in an enormous amount of seeking sounds from the drive before Windows 7 finally gives up on it a reports the drive as empty.
    I've had the GX660 for just under a year, during which time the DVD drive has been used very sparingly -- maybe for the installation of no more than a dozen programs.  Never been used for burning DVDs or CDs. Never been used for reading video DVDs which is why I discover it at this late date.
    Any ideas concerning this issue, before I turn in the laptop for service?  I'd rather not have to.

    In your shoes I'd contact MSI and see if there's a firmware update for the drive to correct the issue. >>How to contact MSI.<<
