Can I put a DVD+R/W Recording into iMovie.. then back to DVD?

Hi all,
New to Macs and must admit I'm asking this question without really trawling through the help manuals at all... but...
If I make a recording to a DVD+R/W from my home DVD player, can I then import that recording to iMovie, edit it it and send it back to iDVD to re-burn it? My Phillips DVD Recorder makes a decent fist of editing a recording but obviously iMovie and iDVD offer greater creativity and flexibility...
Any help or advice would be appreciated... cheers!!

your disks have to be finalized - read your ecorders manual, how to accomplish that
if your Mac's drive support +/w media (it should...), handle them as "normale" DVDs...
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (29$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast 6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
non of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

    No.  breaking the encryption in order to copy them illegal.
    " what about recorded DVD's that you have? "
    Add them to itunes.

    If it came with an iTunes digital download code you can redeem that, otherwise this isn't a matter that can be discussed here. See section 2.8.2 of the Terms of Use.

  • I want to break up my hour long video in iMovie 11 into smaller 15 minute segements to upload to youtube. How can i put EDITED VIDEO in new projects in iMovie?

    I want to break up my hour long video in iMovie 11 into smaller 15 minute segements to upload to youtube. How can i put EDITED VIDEO in new projects in iMovie? (each 15 minute segment to iMovie)

    In iMovie's Project Library view (where all your projects are listed), click on the name of your project (don't double-click to open it, just single click to highlight it).
    From the Menu select File > Duplicate Project. A copy of your project will be placed in the Project Library. It will have the same name as the original, but with a number appended. You can rename it if desired - click on its name twice (not double-click) so that it is highlighted as light blue, then over-type it.
    Delete from the duplicate all the clips and other media (for example, photos, music and so forth) that you don't want included in the first of your 15 minute segments. In other words, delete all but the first 15 minutes.
    Continue creating duplicates of the original (and rename if necessary). Delete from each duplicate all the unrequired parts for each segment. So, for example, for the 2nd duplicate delete the first quarter (15 minutes) and the 3rd and 4th quarters.
    You should end up with 4 duplicates with separate names, each containing the required segment. You will also have kept intact the original one hour movie, which you may wish to use independently of YouTube (maybe for burning a DVD or playback through a Media Player).
    Note that duplicating the original project will not take up much extra space on your drive. Projects reference (link to) the associated Event (or Events) in the Event Library - they don't actually contain video as such. The project file also keeps track of titles, transitions, effects, music and so forth that you've added to the project.

  • As a grand parent, how can I put some apps on an ipod touch and then give it as a gift?

    As a grand parent, how can I put some apps on an ipod touch and then give it as a gift?

    Apps and many other purchases are tied to the iTunes Store account via which they were purchased. So if you buy the app, that app is tied to your iTunes Store account. Without that account information, the child could not update the app nor back it up.
    I'd also suggest giving the child an iTunes gift card or gift certificate along with the iPod. If the child is too young to have and manage his or her own iTunes Store account, then his or her parent could set up an iTunes Store account to purchase the apps. That could be done with that gift card and not need a credit card. You can also gift specific apps, though again that would require the child or a parent to open an iTunes Store account through which to redeem the gift. For more information on gift options, see:

  • Built-in iSight video is jerky when recorded into iMovie.

    Hello,
    When I record video in iMovie directly from my built-in iSight, the resulting video is rather jerky - it doesn't look like the frame rate is slow, it's just that if I move my arm quickly, for example, while it may be a smooth motion in real life, the recorded video has little stutters in the motion, almost if some of the frames are out-of-order.  I don't have this issue when using iChat - everything looks fine there. I have a MacBook Pro 17-inch (Mid-2009), with iLife '09, Mac OS X 10.6.7, 4 GB RAM, and about 100 GB of free space on my hard drive.  Everything is completely up-to-date via Software Update, and I just ran Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility last week.  The last time I recorded into iMovie, I didn't have any other applications running on the computer, and it still happened.  The computer was sitting stationary on a table.  I was using a professional microphone through a FireWire interface, and the audio recorded perfectly - it was just the video that had issues.  The audio and video stayed perfectly in-sync the whole time, too.  The video looked jerky in iMovie immediately after recording, and still looked jerky after being uploaded to YouTube.  I've seen other people's videos on YouTube that exhibit this behavior, and they generally look fine if I go down to a lower resolution for playback, so I'm guessing I'm not alone - it could either be an iSight issue or an iMovie issue.

    Sorry, I meant when I use the 'Q' command to put the video onto the storyline. I use the Import files to bring the files into my library of videos and it looks fine there before using 'Q' to stack the video onto the storyline. 99 percent of the time it works fine, it just has this flipped error when building multi-video composites, it has never happened when I build a normal video project.

  • Can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie

    Hi, i can't select multiple video clips to import into iMovie, it only lets me import one video at a time. Apple please fix in next update or if anyone has a solution please post.

    Obviously you can not select the video to import until after iMovie populates the list of videos that are available to be imported

  • How do I reload my video clips that I recorded into iMovie?

    How do I reload my video clips that I recorded into iMovie? My project is there but my original iMovie videos are gone which does not allow my iMovie to play.  The screen is black. I need Help!

    Please have a look at my post at:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5649660?tstart=0
    where I describe what files should be present for iMovie 9 to work for someone else with a similar problem.  They must either be in the users Movies folder on the start up drive or at the root level of any other partition or connected external drive.

    Thanks =]

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
    It depends on the format of the file. I agree with Mitch re: the suggestion for QuickTimePro... go here for Apple Tutorials: Creating video for iPod.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/creatingvideo.html
    QuickTimePro is only $29 and available from the link above.

    Try "google" for iPod DVD converter software. I use "Handbrake" which seems to be one of the main converters for Macs, but I'm not sure if there are others.

  • Can you use ESB to insert multiple records into a Database

    We have an XML file that has a Parent/Child relationship.
    In situation 1 we have a single parent record in the xml file. We can insert the record into the database successfully.
    In situation 2 we have a parent and a an associated child record. By using a filter expression to identify the existence of the child record we can route to the first DB Adapter to insert the parent then to the second DB Adapter to insert the child.
    Is this final scenario logical and also possible.
    Situation 3 we have multiple child records associated to a single parent. So we would first insert the parent record then insert all the child records.
    Thanks

    I use PL/SQL for this if you are using Oracle.
    Have a look at this post, it is for AQ but the concept can be used for PL/SQL
    Re: Can I pass a pl/sql table as a parameter from a database adaptor
    I will send you an example

  • How can I put my music from iTunes Gallery into my iPod?

    I had another iPod which broke, so I exchanged it for another one. On the previous iPod, I had purchased music which were stored on my iTunes gallery. Now, I can't put the music back into my newer iPod. Helpp?

    Unfortunately, when I plug it in and press sync, it only syncs the music I bought from the new iPod. Also, I did check the button that says 'Entire music Gallery'.

  • How can I put a still photo in to a iMovie tralier  on the iPad 2

    How can I put a still photo into a iMovie tralier on a iPad 2

    Here's one way.
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.
