Capturing on my G4 using my Macbook DVD player

Hi,
I'm trying to capture some footage into a FCP project using my Macbook pro DVD player. Is this possible? I tried connecting the Macbook through a fire wire and the log and capture is not recognizing it. Any suggestions, or should I use a normal DVD player and capture through my coverter?
Thanx,
John

Jim,
Thanx for the quick response. I do have permission. It's for an actor's demo reel. Would you mind elaborating a little bit on the free mpeg streamclip. This is brand new information to me.
Thanx again,
John

I want to use my home dvd player to burn dvds/cds onto my MacBook Air. Please help!?

I want to use my home dvd player to burn dvds/cds onto my MacBook Air. I have an hdmi cord with thunderbolt connector. Where do I go from here?

Apps for OSX aren't in iTunes: they are in the App Store in your Applications folder. The payment method is the one registered in iTunes. There's no app actually called Yoga Studio, though there are several Yoga apps. There is an iOS app called Yoga Studio but it appears to have no OSX equivalent, though I haven't done a detailed search.

Play movies from commercial DVD disks using an external DVD player?

Is it possible to play movies from commercial DVD disks using an external DVD player on Mac OS X 10.5.6? Thanks.

You might not need to install Tiger. If you pop in the installer DVD there might be the DVD Player under Additional Software/Applications. Then you can install that and watch DVDs.

Nothing technical has been discussed. It is blocked because of licensing/copy protection.

The Apple TV is not a DVD player. So if you do not already own a player, then yes you will have to purchase one to view them on your TV.

Satellite P200D-134 - can not use the Toshiba DVD player

I have the Satellite P200D-134 and can not use the Toshiba DVD player.
It displays an error message.
"Required modules missing for this application"
In Vista it worked everything fine.
Now I upgraded Windows 7 Ultimate and all Toshiba programs are gone.
And I can not use the Software HD DVD player or other Software from Toshiba.
What should I do?
Does anyone have any advice? Is there any help?
Please write back in German or English.
Thank you!
Rob

Hi
Did you install the VAP (value added package)?
If not do that!!!
Furthermore I recommend installing the DVD Player Update Check Tool which can be found on the Toshiba European driver page.
With this tool, you can check your notebook, if your DVD-Player needs a Upgrade and if yes, it gives you the download link for the needed upgrade version.
By the way: If you cannot find the DVD Player for Win 7 in P200D section then you can download this from the P500 section!

Can I use my Apple DVD player with USB connector with my new iPad?

Can I use my Apple DVD player with USB connector with my new iPad?

No, the iPad won't recognise it. If you are wanting to copy content to the iPad then you will need to copy it to your computer first, and you can then sync it to your iPad.

Why is my macbook DVD player no longer playing commercial DVD's that it used to play perfectly? It reads the disc, but then says not permitted when I hit play. It is much older than 12 months warantee so I hope there is an easy fix?

The macbook reads a disc, and opens up DVD player but then says not permitted when I hit play, or any other button. Sometimes the initial music plays, but the screen remains black and then it all stops. These are shop bought DVD's that have previously worked on here, and work in DVD players, but have suddenly stopped. The computer is much older than the12 months warantee so I hope there is an easy fix? Thankyou!

Three things you can try:
1. Clean the superdrive with a proprietory CD/DVD lens cleaner that uses tiny brushes.
2. Perform an SMC reset:

3. Try the free DVD player VLC:

which performs better than the built-in DVD Player.

No audio on idvd burned disc- sound plays on TV fine but not on macbook DVD player

First time posting, so please excuse any naivete
Hi there, I'm having the opposite problem of many of the questions I've read on here- the audio on my burned disc won't play on my computer but is fine on my TV. I am running the latest version of idvd on a 2008 macbook. The music for the menu is a .m4a file (?) imported from itunes and the movie is an imported project from imovie. Both play fine in idvd preview and I have burned discs of this project before with no problems. This time I burned one disc through idvd, discovered the missing audio, deleted the encoded assets and re- encoded before saving the disk image and burning another dvd through disk utility. Both dvds are having this problem . I checked sound on my system preferences, it's on- though I can't find the "main audio" that was mentioned in another thread. Maybe I don't have enough space on my startup disk? I've been trashing some things to free up space, but I'm not sure where to check to see how much space I have.
I'm sending these dvds out as part of job applications so they need to be able to play right on whatever the reviewer uses (mac, pc, tv etc.)- is there a way to ensure it will work universally?
Thanks!

Ok. This is embarrassing. Just saw that the sound was turned down on my DVD player on my macbook though not on my computer. Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best.

Can you put Mini Dvds in the Macbook Dvd Player?

I would like to know this before I try it and make a costly mistake. I am trying to get the video off of a Sony Handycam.

Here is the list of types of disk allowed. Slot load drives are not built to use mini disk. Use an external DVD drive to read it an transfer it to your MacBook.

MacBook DVD player error scratched CD

I bought a DVD film and while watching halfway through the show the player stopped and reported an error. CD may be scratched, it said. I returned the dvd where I bought it from, and purchased the same movie from another source.
Same problem. In between these I watched several movies and this problem only happened twice. Restarted the MacBook and it continued from where it stoped. But NOT with the movie I replaced.
Any suggestion? No, no, no, I got rid of all of my VCR's and the players too.
By the way it is a Roger Moore movie named GOLD. Beware :-))
I would like to finish it one day.

Version 2.7 of the DVD Player appears to be the correct version for your configuration; any computer which can use the 2.0 beta which came with some 8.6 versions can use version 2.7. No iMac is compatible with version 1.x of the Apple DVD Player.

Can't view jpegs on CD using Panasonic CD/DVD player/recorder

Has someone else experienced this
1. burn JPEGs from G5 to CD
2. try to view JPEG files on Panasonic CD/DVD player DMC35S
3. problem: either the files won't show at all or the files show every other space.
- CDs not created on the MAC show perfectly so the Panasonic machine is ok. I think that the MAC some how adds a "code" to the end of the JPEG file that the machine can't interpret...??
Any advice?

If you are burning the CD from within iPhoto, I can understand how the DVD player would get confused. iPhoto creates a non-standard folder structure.
Have you tried burning using the Finder or Toast? You would need to export the photos or drag and drop them out of iPhoto.

Using iTunes to create an MP3 CD that can be used on a DVD player

I recently attempted to create what I believed to be an MP3 CD from iTunes that my DVD player would be able to play. My DVD player was unable to read the CD (No Disc message). Come to find out that it creates the CD in a Mac format instead of an ISO 9660 format. Has anyone been able to create an MP3 CD from iTunes that a DVD player will load? If so what settings did you use?

The problem is solved. My new Sony DVD Player seems to handle whatever format my MP3 CD is created in even though the manual says nothing about a mac formatted CD. So I can now use iTunes or Toast to create MP3 CDs. My old JVC CD player is about 5 years old and even though the manual says it will read MP3 CDs and VCD CDs it never worked well on anything I created on a Mac

Burning films to use in a DVD player

Hi,
I have bought several films & TV programes from iTunes for my ATV.
Thay also show up on iTunes.
Can I burn the MP4 download to a DVD to watch a DVD player.
Regards,
Jeff

Can I burn the MP4 download to a DVD to watch a DVD player.
No. iTunes can't create video DVDs, and backup DVDs aren't playable outside of a computer. If the files don't contain DRM, you might be able to burn them elsewhere.

Capturing from an Internal DVD player

Hi,
I'm using a MacBook Pro & FCE 3.5. Is it possible to capture using my laptop's internal DVD player or can I only capture using an external DVD player hooked up with firewire?
Thanks,
Lisa

You can't capture from any DVD player without converting the material. It's in completely the wrong format. You can use MPEG Streamclip to convert the material to QuickTime with the DV codec.
