Can DVD's be converted to CD?

My old ibook doesn't have a DVD drive and I have an old install for 10.4 but it's a DVD. Can I use my newer imac to make CD's of this install disk?

Not really.... I'm sure someone could crib this up as a proof of concept, but it would be too much of a technical chalange for the vast majority of users, sorry.
Connect your iBook in Firewire target mode to your newer Mac that does have a DVD unit and install from there.

  • Comparison for iPod Users: Free Online Converter & DVD to iPod Converter

    Compare two channels of obtaining video sources for iPod: one is using online converter, the other is DVD to iPod Converter. After the general introduction of the two methods, I will analyze their advantages and disadvantages for you to choose according to your need.
    Part One: Enjoy YouTube (online videos) on iPod
    Instruction: a useful website to convert online video freely: http://www.vixy.net/
    For vixy, you can just copy the URL of the online video into the “URL” blank of the vixy, then choose the format you want to convert to. Click “Start”. For a short time, the conversion will be finished. You can click the “Download the converted video” to restore the file.
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/vixy.jpg
    Advantages: Free online video converter. No software to install. Only a few clicks you can get the converted file after a short while. The most important thing is that online video sources are numerous and original, so you can get the first-hand sources in time through it. Some personal DVs are also shared with you.
    Disadvantages: They set limitation of the length and size of the video. The classical movies usually are not on line available. Even if existed, the quality of image and sound is inferiors.
    Part Two: Enjoy DVD movies on iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, iPhone, iPhone (3G), Apple TV
    We usually bought classical DVD movies for collection or regular watching later, but DVD cannot be copied directly into iPod for us to appreciate it at anytime and anywhere. On this occasion, we need to convert DVD to the format, video and audio settings (Resolution, Bitrate, Frame Rate, etc) supported by your iPod player.
    Instruction: the way to convert DVD to iPod: using Aiseesoft DVD to iPod Converter http://www.aiseesoft.com/dvd-to-ipod-converter.html
    Install and run Aiseesoft DVD to iPod Converter
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/download/dvd-to-ipod-converter.exe
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/screen.gif
    Step 1: Click “Load DVD” button to import your DVD
    Step 2: Use “Profile” drop-down list to choose your output format.
    Step 3: Click “Settings” for setting your video parameters.
    At last click “Start” button to start your conversion.
    More tips:
    1. Merge into One File
    If you want to merge the selected contents into one file you can check the "Merge into one file" option. As default the merged file is named after the first selected file (either a title or a chapter)
    2. Movie Effect
    You can set the brightness, contrast, saturation of the video and volume of the audio.
    3. Trim Movie
    It can help you to capture the segment of your movie.
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/dvd-to-ipod-thread-trim.jpg
    4. Crop Video
    You can remove black edge of your DVD movie and get any playing area of the video by using its "Crop Mode" function. You can also select "Zoom Mode" to extrude your video slightly to adjust to your portable devices so you can get the best video quality.
    http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/dvd-to-ipod-thread-crop.jpg
    5. Take Snapshot
    It allows you to capture your favorite pictures from your movie.
    Advantages: In this way, you can make full use of your DVD: not only in DVD player, but your iPod player. The function of effecting and trimming allows you to clip the segment of the DVD movies complying with your will. You can enjoy more movies taking full advantage of your spare time while relaxing or traveling.
    Disadvantages: DVD movies are usually popular, lacking of individualization. You can not share others' DVs.
    With these two ways, we can enjoy the pleasure videos bring to us as much as we like. Have fun!

    Depending on what update your iPod is, you may need
    to dowload YAMB to make sure the videos play well on
    your iPod. If you are watching a converted video on
    your iPod and it freezes suddenly and this problem
    continues, you need to download YAMB and convert the
    files already converted with videora iPod converter
    with YAMB, this will only take a few minutes.
    I hope this helps you out.
    Nope. All that a person with that problem should have to do is just update their iPod firmware to 1.1.1 with the newest updater, as that issue has been resolved in the latest firmware.

  • Help... Why did the dvd to ipod converter split one movie into 2 files?

    I have a 80GB Video Ipod and I'm confused on why when I ripped a dvd using the dvd to ipod converter for mac program it split the dvd into 2 files.. Is there a way I can merge the files together so it is 1 file?.. I would apprciate any help or suggestions...
    G3 Ibook.. 15, 40 and 80GB Video Ipods... G4 PowerMac   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Go to their support forum and ask-you will get a better answer from people who actually use the program.
    It's not a paid for program is it?
    A totally free program that rips and converts DVD's for Macs can be found here: http://handbrake.m0k.org/
    Why would anyone on a Mac pay for a DVD rip program?

  • Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900  60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

    Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900  60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

    I have the same mini display port adapter and Belkin DVI-HDMI cable (but a Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV) so just set this up on it to see if I could duplicate your problem, unfortunately for you (but good for me) I can't.
    I connected the adapter+HDMI cable before switching the HDTV on and then powered up the MBP. It (the HDTV) came up with my background right away (it's set at Mirror not extended Desktop) and when I run System Preferences/Displays get the following. Sorry but all I can confirm is that adapter+cable combination should work ...
    Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys?

  • Has anyone tried MacX Free DVD to iMovie Converter?

    I want to convert a DVD (non copyright) to iMovie so I can play it on my iPhone.
    I was thinking of trying MacX Free DVD to iMovie Converter, has anyone tried this?

    Just gave it a go and it is very good (used sparingly) Takes a while to render out though. Tons of variations also available in the effects settings - and it is free - no watermark even.

    There is at least one way on each operating system (windows and mac) to rip your own dvds and then transfer them to itunes and finally put them on your ipod. A mac is the easiest of the two ways. If you have a mac, then you download a program off of the web called handbrake (just "google" >handbrake rip dvds< and its homepage should pop up or try <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://handbrake.m0k.org). Handbrake allows you to copy and convert your dvds to ipod format. On a windows operating system the most effective way i have found to rip my dvds is quicktime pro($25-$35). You can buy it at quicktime's website. It basically does the same thing as handbrake. I, myself, have simply converted some videos, like sports shows and commercials, to ipod format using itunes and both the video and audio worked fine.
    if you have any ?'s just reply back
    I hope this helps!

  • Super DVD to iPod converter problems

    I have encountered a problem with Super DVD to iPod converter, which might have been stressed yet. Please let me know if so...
    Problem: when i've ripped a dvd with DVD Decrypter and convert it with Super DVD to iPod converter, it doesn't play audio in Quicktime and it doesn't play at all on my iPod (black screen, no audio).
    However, the Decrypted file does play in programs with sound and screen.
    Something else, which scared me: when i played the DVD on my iPod it continued loading (the iPod was shaking) and the battery ran down in seconds. Scary or no prob at all???
    Cheers, Piet

    I bougt the Super DVD to iPod converter program and I'm having multiple problems.
    First I couldn't figure out the registration code that I needed to enter from keeping lenogo charging me extra.
    Then I think I finally figured it out because I was able to start the program but then after I pressed convert a large window popped up saying that all the conversion processes of the DVD failed. Every time.
    And there is no phone number available to contact Lenogo support with, and the ticket I submitted, which I assume is a support email type thing, is not being replied to, and all the emails I send to their support email address, now totallying 5, maybe 6, has still yet to be replied to. I am very frustrated.
    Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? If I can't get in touch I'm calling my credit card company, which I guess is the last resort. Ok, thanks

  • Best DVD to iPod Converter

    I just got a New iPod video and I was looking for some advice for the best DVD to iPod Converter. The two programs that I have been looking at are
    1.) Super DVD to iPod Converter and
    2.) PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter
    Both of them run around $30 and boast that they are the fastest. Anyone have any input?

    Well, I'll disagree. I've used quite a few and to me, PQ DVD is by far the best. It records all DVD's, not just ones that aren't encrypted. All of them are slow, pretty much 1:1 when doing a movie. Meaning, if your video is a hour long, it's going to take an hour to do it. I just start it before I go to bed. I don't really know why support is needed- it is an extremely simple program to use. Personally, the how long have they been around thing doesn't mean a hill of beans to me. It works, it's simple, and affordable.

  • Will DVD studio Pro convert Real Media

    I have some real media clips and I want to convert them and burn them to DVD. Will DVD studio Pro convert them. IF they will how long will it take for 50 mins of video. Thanks

    To convert RealVideo you will need to download a shareware tool named ffmpegX located at http://www.ffmpegx.com
    When you venture down this path get your favorite beverage, and make sure you have plenty of time to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!
    On the download page near the bottom you find will instructions and links that will eventually lead you to the libraries you need for RealVideo which have to be downloaded separately.
    Once you d/l them, locate your ffmpegX support folder located at:
    systemHD>Library>ApplicationSupport>ffmpegX
    and install the libraries
    You will then be able to convert RealVideo using the mencoder to something that's useable in DVDSP or FCP.
    I have had extremely good results to date. Basically same old story... garbage in, garbage out. if the RealVideo is good or excellent quality you will get like results!
    Hope this helps! Post back.
