Can I upload to iMovie from a dvd?

I have numerous home movies in VHS-C format, spanning 1989 to 2000.
Using a Panasonic DVD Recorder (model # DMR-ES30V), I plan to transfer from VHS-C cassette to DVD. Can I then upload from the newly burned DVD to iMovie for editing and storage?
I have previously converted videos from VHS-C to mini-DV using my camcorder as a converter, then uploaded to iMovie from the newly created mini-DV. I would like to save a step, if possible.

Using a DVD will cost you quality, since the footage is highly compressed. It also requires hands-on and a lot of time to "unpack".
Going via miniDV is your best option.

Can not upload video clips from mini dvd

When I try to upload video clips from mini DVD recorded on Sony Handycam it stats the files are read only. I have tried finalized and un-finalized clips.

Thank you for the reply.
Although what I posted in my post numbered 2 is interesting and useful information in the Premiere Elements ripping of VOBs from DVD-VIDEO, it is not answering your issue regarding a "read only" issue and did not target your specific "read only" message. Sorry about that.
The VOBs are typically read only files on the disc.
I have never run into a "read only" issue with regard to the Premiere Elements 10 Windows 7 64 bit Add Media/"DVD Camcorder or PC DVD Drive"/Video Importer. For that matter, not with any version of Premiere Elements with this particular feature.
When are you getting this message.
a. When you click on DVD Camcorder or PC DVD Drive after Get Media
b. When you click on Get Media in the Video Importer or other
Do you ever get a thumbnail for the VTS_01_1.VOB in the Video Importer? Is your burner drive recognized in the Source field of the Video Importer?
If you open and explore the DVD disc, go to the VTS_01_1.VOB in the VIDEO-TS Folder, go to the VOB's properties, can you remove
the mark next to "read only" and then have the Video Importer route work for you?
Also, if you copy the VTS_01_1.VOB from the opened DVD disc and paste it to the computer desktop and remove the "read only" marking, can you then import
the VTS_01_1.VOB into Premiere Elements with its Get Media/Files and Folders?

Can I upload an iMovie from my New iPad to You Tube?

I am trying to take short movies with my new iPad as we travel and then post them to You Tube for our friends and family to watch. When I try to send a movie from my iPad to You Tube it won't let me log in. It takes my user name and password and when I click sign-in it just reverts back to the sign-in screen. A second question is can I send a movie rom iMovie on my iPad to the iMovie on my iMac? Thanks for your help.
Stu

Output to you tube is a built in in the current I movie, so there should be no issues. Sounds like it does not like your your YouTube sign in name and password. You might go to safari or a pc, and try to log in just to confirm the name and password are ok. Maybe resetting the YouTube name and password would trigger the update.
As respects the second question, you can transfer the movie during a normal sync, I think it is in file sharing. Otherwise, send it to your camera roll, and upload it in to iPhoto, and grab it from there.

You can do this with a free app called MPEG Streamclip and a $20 quicktime component from Apple.

How can I burn my iMovie project to DVD? I do not have iDVD or iLife on my iMac but I do have the internal DVD slot.

Hi
If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

TS4124 Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

Depends on why it's ineligible. If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version. (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".) Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match. Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible.

We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
Thanks!

It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

Can't upload any files from my mac to the Internet

I am new to Macbook, and this obviously never happened before
So, the problem is:
I can't upload any files from my Mac anywhere (Facebook, Instagram, etc)
I can't attach files to e-mails.
any files that are on my desktop, folders - they just turn in grey and I can't choose them.
The only way I can do it is by going to "ALL FILES" where I have to search through all the files that are on my Mac
Keep in mind that this is a glitch, because earlier it was all fine and normal
To see what I mean I am uploading a skreen shot of attemp of uploading files to Fb.
Can anybody help? Can it be some sort of virus?

Okay I had the same problem but I figured it out. When you go to choose file, all the links are greyed out. Use two fingers simulatiously and click down on the file you want, then choose "quick look" from the option menu. This will open a preview of your document and make the open button usable. Close the preview, and then select the open button.
The site I was trying to use says it only supports IE, so maybe that is what causes the problem.
Hope it works for you!

Uploaded a iMovie from my phone but cannot locate it in itunes

I uploaded a imovie from my phone. I was given the option of saving it or uploading it to itunes. I chose itunes and cannot find it on my computer. It said it was in the sharing tab in itunes whihc I cannot locate.

There are many, many video formats and frankly most manufacturers assume everybody is running Windows and just design for that. Some things to try:
[VLC media player|http://www.videolan.org/vlc> - general media player that plays just about anything.
[Perian codecs for Quicktime|http://www.perian.org] - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
[Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669] - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
If you think the format is WMV then you need to install [Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components|http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.ms px]
After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences. Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.

iTunes will only copy Apple purchases from your device, it won't copy music bought from other sites or that you've copied from CDs. Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, an external drive that you can copy onto your new Mac ? That would be the quickest method but homesharing on itunes is also a possibility. Click here to see that:

If not then third party software will be able to copy and paste your files however depending on the file size, they may charge money for their service.
Hope this helped!
