Best way to trasfer dvd's?

what is the best way to download leagally bought music dvd's to my ipod? thanks

you could do it legally, in the USA. breaking copyright encryption is what's illegal there, not transferring a DVD's contents.
you would need to watch the DVD through a device with an authorized CSS decoder (eg. a standard DVD player) then capture and/or convert the analog content as it is sent to the rendering device.
as this method is lossy and might require hundreds of dollars in hardware and hours of time for every DVD, you may be inclined to seek out more palatable methods using a search engine. (assuming you live outside the US or are otherwise ethically OK with ignoring the US DMCA.)

Best way to transfer DVD videos from laptop to ipad air

presuming they're not copywriteed commercial dvd's, you can use a program like Handbrake to convert the dvd files to mp4's that you can then import into iTunes and sync to your device.
If they're copywritted commercial dvd's then you'd have to break the copywrite encoding to transcode the files and since that is illegal in the US no one here can help you with that.

What do you think is the best way to get DVDs onto your iPod?

I haven't recieved my video iPod yet, its coming in the mail, but I'd like to be ready when I get it. In your opinion, what is the best way to get DVDs onto your iPod?
I have Windows, so Handbreak doesn't work.
I've tried videora, but its taking ages...
Thanks!
*Just noticed you can edit*
I would also like to add that I would perfer that it was free...
Videora is driving me up a wall... It still has 3 hours to convert this thing its been going for 10 min and its still at 0%

Depending on the specs of your computer, time taken to convert DVD's to an iPod-playable format can vary. On my computer (see below), it takes about 10 hours to convert a 2-hour DVD to the iPod format, using Videora.
So, due to the extremely large size of the DVD rip, it'll take a while to convert it, regardless of how fast or slow your system is.

Best way to rip dvd

what is the best way to rip dvds that have vob file format to make them mp3 or mp4

For personal content on DVDs (non copyright/non commercial footage), use MPEG Streamclip (freeware). For footage that is protected under copyright law, contact the copyright holder(s) and negotiate license to use the material and include that they provide a less compressed format as part of the negotiation.

How do I import DVD to IMovie? What is the best way to import DVD to a Mac?

Hi everyone!
I need some help, so here are my questions.
How do I import DVD to IMovie? What is the best way to import DVDs to a Mac?
I would like to keep the original quality from the DVD.
Thx.

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.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.

Best way to create DVD

I've exported a movie that I created in FCP 3 to a Quicktime file. I would like to burn the movie to a DVD that I can play on a DVD player. I've been trying to use iDVD 4, but its not recognizing the audio in my quicktime file. Is there another way to do this?

With all due respect, I fail to see how my comments are off the mark. iDVD has two settings... that to me is for consumers. How can any professional slice the art of compression into 2 settings? Compressor provides many more choices that a pro would probably use. And even Compressor isn't great as higher-lvl compression software, but at least its a start. The topic of this questions is BEST way to create a DVD, not the worst way, and clearly the BEST solution does NOT have iDVD in it. It's the same reason you don't edit in iMovie over FCP, it's the reason Windows users don't use MovieMaker. iDVD is a decent entry-lvl program, but frankly not cut out for anything above home video.

Best way to create DVD from videos from several events?

Hi all - I'm very new to iMovie and iDVD and was hoping for some advice. I'm making a compilation DVD "for the grandparents" of videos from a variety of the kids' events throughout the year. What's the best way to do this? By the way, I've switched to using iMovie HD but am still using iDVD '08. I've been prototyping a few things and came up with the following options:
Option 1: Create one iMovie HD project and import all the videos from the various events into one timeline. I then create the chapter markers as usual, then Share with iDVD.
Question: I want each of the event videos to return to the DVD Menu. How would I do that if all the videos have been combined into one timeline in iMovie HD?
Option 2: Create each event video under its own iMovie HD project. Export each video into .dv format (I don't know what the best format would be). In iDVD, insert each video.
Questions: Would I lose video quality going this route? If I wanted to create chapter markers within each event video, I assume I would lose them once I've exported to .dv format?
Which of the above would be a better option? Is there a better option?
Thanks!

If you make changes to your iMovie project, the next time you open your iDVD project a pop-up will inform you that assets have been updated and asks if you want to update. Click update and your changes will be incorporated. As long as you haven't changed locations of your iDVD project and iMovie project, iDVD will point to the ongoing iMovie project. But if you move your iDVD project to another drive, or rename the iMovie project, iDVD will tell you that there are missing assets because it can't find your iMovie project. At least, that's what happens to me when I do that.
Happy Turkey day!

Best way to making DVD

So what is the best way making DVD after there took Encore a way ?

With Encore. They didn't take it away; they just made it end of life at CS6. This is the link for info re using Encore CS6 with CC, updated for CC 2014 and the cloud desktop install.
http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/kb/encore-cs6-installed-cc.html
It has links for getting the library (which is not installed with Encore) and a workflow with CC versions.
In the cloud desktop, assuming you have PR CC 2014 installed, you are looking for this:

Best way for Slideshow DVD

I am rookie user of all iLife software on my computer. I have a dilemma I was hoping someone here might be able to help me with...
My fiance put me in charge of putting together the slideshow for our wedding reception. The DJ told me that it has to be in DVD format. I would like to do in three sections; one of me, one of her, and one of us together.
-I need each of the sections to have a different song.
-I need to be able to play the sections in succession. I do not want to have to go back to the main menu to click the next section every time.
-I need to have an introductory slide before each section (ie. Him, Her, Them or something to that extent).
If someone could guide me through this process it would be greatly appreciated. I tried using iDVD already. It worked great for one section, but I need to put together something that looks somewhat professional (250+ people will see this) and can't go back to the menu to click on each section of the slideshow.

Welcome to the forums!
There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD, but they all have one thing in common: they reduce the quality of the photos to that of a movie still frame and sometimes limit the number of photos you can use.
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie 6 as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!

What's the best way to automount DVD and networksharing?

Hey Guys.
Just a Question - to hear if its possible to make it work ?
I have through time build a little MythTV setup on ArchLinux.
And - damn I'm happy with it.
The only remaining problem I've got now - is how to share the DVD on the network. Since I'm using powersaving frontends, I have no DVD for playing DVD's. And since I got kids and A LOT cartoons, I would be glad to make this works perfectly.
I've tried to make it work using NFS - I've discovered some lacking in the picture and sound when playing DVD's.
I've tried with samba, and got actually a happy solution, BUT there's a problem that I needing to make happend automaticly.
1. Automount the DVD after inserting it into DVD-drive. Also umount the drive when pushing the buttom on the drive.
2. I shalll now restart samba after inserting the dvd - Isn't it possible that the drive is dicovered automaticly after mounted in the directory: ??? allso when finished playing the DVD - I need to stop samba before I can umount the DVD - Is it possible to avoid stopping samba for umounting the DVD ?
3. How is it possible to make this action automaticly when inserting a DVD or pushing a button on the frontend that starts it all using a shellscript or so?
Mostly becaurse I'm thinking about hidding the server in a special place and have a DVD shared from a external/internal device? So this action should happen automaticly after inserting the DVD - that its accessable on the network - and removed when pushing the button on the drive?
Let me here a little about the your experiences with this problem. I've tried the wiki about getting autofs to make it work - but here's my solution for now
TIA

The automount of the drive from fstab - yes - and have no problems on the frontends.
But when inserting a DVD - you'll need to mount -a to mount the see the contents of the dvd - (if this can automaticly be disvovered by fstab - please tell me - I cannot see it)
And again afters wards - when finishing the DVD - when pressing the buttom - eject - It's says the device is busy.
You'll need to stop samba - carse its samba that uses the device. After stopping samba - no problem with umounting the device.
Again . please guide me in the rigth way - to make this happen automaticly!

Best way to put DVDs and videos on your ipod

I have found an awesome video converter for the new ipod. It can convert dvd and many other formats to the ipod format. It works well. You can change the settings on just about everything, including aspect ratio, video quality, audio quality (yes, you can change the settings for video and audio seperatly), video size, subtitles and many others. its avaible here: http://www.pqdvd.com/dvd-to-ipod-video-converter.html . Sorry, mac fans this is windows only (at least right now !) Its free to try or $35 to buy, yes its 5 bucks for than Quicktime pro, but it is way better and it acually works!

PQdvd did a decent job as far as I'm concerned, but I've found a few other methods that seem more reliable for ripping DVD's to Ipod.
My favorite (most reliable for voice/video synch and fastest overall) has been to use DVD decrypter to rip and Videora to transcode. Both are free programs (another plus), though the DVDdecrypter has been shut down by the powers that be. You'll have to look on a P2P or find someone who has it.....
The VERY simple directions are here:

Best way to view dvd's on 27 inch iMac

I just bought the new 27-inch iMac and just love it, especially the clear, big screen.
However, when I insert a dvd of a show (like arrested development, breaking bad, dexter, a pretty recent dvd), I can choose between playing it in window mode, where I find my desktop background or other running programs distracting, or fullscreen, where everything gets pixelated because of the huge screen.
So I was wondering if there is some kind of viewing mode or other program that allows me to view a dvd in a window while darkening the surroundings, a bit like the fullscreen mode of Pages, adding bars in fullscreen mode, or if anybody has any personal sollutions. I bought this iMac because of its beautiful screen, it would be a waste if I now couldn't even use it properly.
Thanks in advance.
