Can you import shows from DVDs???

I just got a new video ipod and instead of spending money on shows from the music store can I import shows from DVDs???

The ripping guide in the external link ought to work just fine, but the main reason I'm posting is to say that it would be quite unreasonable to use HandBrake to rip a DVD, especially with 2-pass encoding, if you care the slightest bit about the longevity of your optical drive. Before further experimentation, you might want to know that HandBrake also supports encoding from DVD folders and images, which can be extracted in a matter of minutes (not hours and even days) using other free software. And of course none of this will ever work with any DVDs except the ones you've made yourself and own the rights to. Pakko sanoa semmoista, voi vitsi.

Can you import video from a DVD? If so how

Can you import video from a DVD? I have some home DVD's made on my PC. My PC program (Roxio) allowed me to pull clips off of a DVD, but I can not seem to figure out how to do it with iMovie on my Mac.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi, I'll see if I can help. The only way I know of importing directly from iMovie off of a DVD is with a converter box hooked up to an external DVD player. However there are a few freeware programs you could try. One is Handbrake, with it you can convert your DVD into a MPEG-4 file, this is incredibly easy however the quality will be a little lower than that of a DVD. Another program is MactheRipper which will rip the entire DVD onto your hard drive but you will have to hunt through all the files to find the ones you want. I hope this helps.

Can you import music from an itunes from one computer to another?

can you import music from itunes on one computer to another?

There are a number of things you could do. One would be to network the to computers and transfer your iTunes folder from one to another. You can also use your iPod as a hard drive and move the folder with it though that would be considerably slower than computer to computer. Here are a few links that may help you out:

This article describes moving your music to another drive on the same computer but could be adapted to moving between networked computers: Moving your iTunes Music Folder

Can I import images from DVD to my HDD through bridge (I have Win 7

Hi,
I'm using Win 7 (and also have Bridge on Mac OS X). I'd like to import images from DVD to my HDD through Adobe Bridge. But I can't find the option to import from DVD in Bridge (either in Win 7 or Mac). My DVD drive on my Win machine is external while I have the regular internal DVD drive on my Macbook Pro. I'm trying to import images from DVD to HDD through Bridge. Go through the first round of select/reject through Bridge and then take them to LR for further edits.
I currently copy them from DVD drive to a USB pen drive. And then using the Bridge import dialog (when I plug in the USB again) copy them to my HDD. I do this becuase I also need to batch rename my files, add metadata and keywords during import. The simple copy/move function won't allow these additions and so I have to resort to this workaround of DVD to USB to HDD (thru Bridge). If I can import directly from DVD through bridge, it'll save me quite some time.
Look forward to assistance pls.
Thx,
Chinmoy

I feel a bit silly now. For 2 days I struggled and then posted my Q.
After posting the Q, I figured it out in about 15 minutes.
Insert DVD.
Open Br
Navigate to DVD
Select all images
Right Click - Batch Rename
Choose Destination Path and New file name.
And go!
If you've had the same problem I did, hope this helps.

Can you import video from dvcam using a dsr 2000 into final cut pro 10?

Can you bring video from a DVCam tape using a DSR 2000 into Final Cut Pro?

Should work OK with the iLink (a.k.a. Firewire a.k.a. IEE1394a) interface, but you may have to capture using iMovie, then ( in FCX) running File > Import > iMovie Events.)

How can you import pictures from the iphoto app to your mac book pro into iphoto on a mac book pro using mavericks?

I've tried to look this up on the app, and it tells me to use the iTunes file sharing and I can see anything with this trying to use both. I'm trying to keep my pictures in chronological order. Does in know how I can use this? Any help I would greatly appreciate. Thank you!

OK. This is two separate issues. To import pictures on your iPhone into your MBP, you can use iPhoto or the Image Capture app (in the Applications folder).
To use iPhoto, connect your iPhone to your Mac with its USB cable & launch iPhoto. Your iPhone will be listed it in the "Devices" panel on the left. Choose it & you will get a window where you can import all or selected photos as either "split events" or as a single event. If you need help with this, try opening iPhoto's built-in help & selecting the "Import Photos" item. That will open the Import photos from iPhone or other mobile phone help topic. Expand the Import photos from iPhone section & study it. It should answer all your questions about this better than I can!
To use the Image Capture app, you connect the iPhone & select it just like above. The app has several options for importing images, but what you may find useful if you do not want to import directly into iPhoto is that you can just drag any of the iPhone's displayed items onto the desktop or into a folder like you would any other file & they will be copied to that location.
As for organization of items in iPhoto, there are four ways they can be grouped for display (by event, by photo, by face, & by place). All except by faces offers a "By date" sort choice in the iPhoto View > Sort Photos menu item.

Can't import photos from DVD

I have a DVD-ROM with a bunch of images on it. Works fine if I drag the folder(s) from it to my hard drive - but - trying to import in Aperture doesn't seem to work...
There's one folder on the DVD & a bunch of subfolders in that. The import window in Aperture has the "X" on the disk icon and then the "arrow" icon pointing to a new, empty project. I've selected a folder on my images hard drive where the images should be copied to ("move files" is grayed out).
When I click the arrow, I just get a "boop" error tone. Nothing more.
I'm clearly missing something ... just can't figure out what thus far. Hopeing it's something simple.

I created a new, blank project and chose "import folders into project" - when this is done from a DVD, you just get the 'boop' error tone (though it shows the 'arrow' connecting the disk to the project).
So ... I copied all the files straight to the hard drive from the disk & tried the exact same import procedure...
It worked with the caveat that it doesn't seem to be retaining the directory structure - just takes the source images from of the root level & any subfolder, and dumps them into the root level of the new project.
I have to be missing something here - Aperture's strong point (from what I'm told) is the workflow. Step one - just getting the photos to show up in the program - takes an unbelievable amount of time.
The import is still progressing (less than 200 MB, verrrrry slowly, off a firewire 800 hard drive). Perhaps the directory structure will be re-created once the import completes, but I have no indication of that so far.

Can you import metadata from an excel database to images (JPG, PSD, TIF) in bulk?

I am very new to working with metadata. I have a microsoft excel file with the IPTC Core fields I need for each image file.
(Creator, Headline, Description, Keywords, Title, Job Identifier, Credit Line, Source, Rights Usage Terms, Copyright Status and Copyright Notice)
Is there a way to get the metadata into the files without having to copy from a cell into each metadata field individually?
I am hoping some for sort of script, possibly...
Also, if only ONE of these fields needed updating in all of the files (i.e. Rights Usage Terms) can that be done?
I have Bridge 5.1 (and earlier versions CS3/CS4)

Yes Paul, exactly like that. Thanks for this - at least I know it's possible...
I am not such a script writing guru that I know how alter it to include all of the fields I mentioned in my original post tho'.
Missing fields I would require:
Creator (bridge no longer calls this Author - as listed in the script - I guess that's an easy switch)
Job Identifier (text field)
Credit Line (text field)
Source (text field)
Rights Usage Terms (text field)
Copyright Status (this is a pull-down in Bridge CS5 that you select "Copyright" Public Domain" or "Unassigned)
Copyright Notice (text field)
Is there a script that covers the "IPTC core" fields in their entirety - or maybe an easy way to alter the script to include the missing fields I need?

Can you import video from Mini DV in separate clips?

I've finally got around to rescuing all the hours of video I've got stored on Mini DV tapes. When I imported one into iMovie though, it came in as one long clip. This is not ideal. I'd hoped/expected that the many clips would come in separately, based upon breaks in the timecode.
I guess I can work my way through the one long clip, cutting it into bits, but that's very time consuming and I may as well have imported the footage manually.
Does anyone know how I can get footage onto my Mac from Mini DV in separate clips? Or if there's an easy way to break this hour long clip I've already imported into pieces?
Thanks very much.

Hi
As AppleMan1958 writes
Normal DV footage will be split into clips.
But I figur. If Your miniDV tape has a functioning TimeCode (not copy from VHS)
then iMovie 1 to HD6 - had it as an option to make a full import or as "Individual Clips"
This choise I can not find in iMovie'11.
May be it's still as a flag and by some chance - this got wrongly set.
To correct this (IF) - I would delete iMovie pref file/s and re-start iMovie and try to
make a new Import/Capture.
To do this -
• Close iMovie
• Find the pref file - iMovie pref file resides in.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences (folder)
and is named. (one or more of these) - and put it/them on desktop
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
and find too - and put it on desktop
com.apple.iApps.plist
• Now re-start iMovie and try to do a new Import.
Did it work ?

Can you import data from a Word bookmark into LabVIEW?

I have been able to insert data into a Word document bookmark with the Report Generation Toolkit with LabVIEW 8.2.1. Is it possible to retrieve data from a Word document bookmark, and if so, how is it done?

Fortunately Yes !
Unfortunately, the NI report tools have not been developped to retrieve data from existing documents.
So you'll have to develop your own tools, using ActiveX properties and methods if you have to work with not-so-simple documents.
Just to help you start something, here is a simple way to read some text from a .doc file.

Can you import photos from time machine backup after clean install

I had to do a clean install of Mt. Lion. So now I have all my photos on the time machine backup. Is there a way to get those photos in to my library?

When I go back to the backup it does not let me go back to the previous backupprobably because the last backup was Lion and I am on Mt. Lion now. don't what to do another backup if that is going to mess up the old one. I can access it though by just going to it. So i am putting that one on my desktop and I am going to rename it and see if I can open in Iphoto.

Can you import from a DVD or file?

I have not yet gotten my Macbook. I haven't had any time with iMovie yet either. My question is I want to edit and re-record some home movie footage. It has either been imported to my old computer as an AVI file, or it's on a DVD recorded from a camcorder to a set top DVD recorder. I see it's easy enough to connect a firewire camcorder to a Mac and capture/edit with iMovie. But can you grab video from other sources, such as the ones I listed? Like playing back the dvd in the drive and capturing the video from the dvd in real time? Thanks.

Hi Icseds:
You will need to convert those files and the DVD into something that iMovie can import.

How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

How can I import pictures from my iphone to PC which I imported to the iphone from another PC? The folder doesn't show on my computer. I see all other pictures I took with the phone but not the imported folder.

Photos that were synced from a computer won't show for copying to a computer. If you want to copy them back then you will need a third-party app on your phone such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to a device, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer (e.g. their dimensions might be different and their colours may look a bit different).

Can you import a DVD of your own into iTunes?

I know you can choose from a very limited selection of films from the iTunes music store, but can you import one of your own films in the same way you import a CD and keep it on iTunes? And, of course, how would one go about doing this? When I insert a DVD, immediately Windows asks which program you want to play it in, and iTunes is not one of those programs.

I would suggest you "google" video iPod converter or do a search of the "using 5G iPod" forum where this subject has been discussed literally hundreds of times.
