Converting dhs to dvd

Can I convert my old dhs videos to DVD? I have ILife 11.

old dhs videos
You mean VHS videos?
If this is what you mean, you need some device to digitize your videos. I use the Elgato EyeTV Hybrid ( http://www.elgato.com/elgato/na/mainmenu/products/EyeTV-Hybrid-10/product1.en.ht ml )
There are other devices as well.

How do you convert PC-ripped DVDs using a Mac?

Got a question about converting/burning video DVDs from PC to Mac.
So I acquired a rip of a Video DVD, which seems to be PC-made, as the original rip was made up of numerous RAR files (pls-amipys.r00, pls-amipys.r01, etc).
I used a program (UnRarX I think) to convert these to a standard .iso disc, with a VIDEO_TS folder that seemed to play just fine using DVD Player program. I then tried burning that folder to a playable DVD (using the Freeware program Liquid CD; Toast seems to be freezing up on me/not doing so for some reason...).
However, when I tried playing the burned disc in my DVD player, every chapter was jumping/skipping, like someone was using the DVD as a **** turntable (please, no hip-hop references...).
Anyway I've never had this problem with any other .isos/VIDEO_TS folders I've tried burning to DVD, so I know it's got to be an issue with my having had to convert it.
Any (serious) explanations for why this may be?? Any suggestions for any other programs I can use to convert/burn the original rip so it'll play properly?
Thank you!!

How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money?

How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money and time? I've spent over seven hours trying to upgrade an iMac 350 Hz OS 9.1 to Tiger. I have changed the iMac firmware to 4.1.9, but found that my Panther disc was only an OSX Upgrade, although the 3 cds are labeled as Installation Discs. Since I have a Tiger disc I thought I would use that. Unfortunately, my iMac only reads CDs, not DVDs. I tried networking the iMac to my G5, but upon shutdown, the OSX disc cannot be accessed. I copied the DVD files to my iMac hard drive, but again, the OSX disc cannot be accessed after shutdown.
Is there a way I can burn a CD from the files of my Tiger DVD to get this task accomplished?

Excuse me, but I never thought of that, nor did I have any intention of trying to rip off your company.
I purchased four iPods for my family this Christmas. I have six iMacs just sitting around not being used. I thought that I would turn one into an iPod work station, so everyone can use one computer to recharge and hook up to iTunes 7.
Unfortunately, iTunes does not work very well in OS9. Apple decided not to continue to support OS9 very well. I’ve spent several hours attempting to upgrade the iMac so I could set up iTunes 7. Unfortunately, my 3 Panther Installation Discs were mislabeled, and did not allow me to install OSX over OS9. My OSX 10.2.7 Installation Disc is a DVD, and my Tiger Installation disc is a DVD. Neither usable to update the iMac.
All I want to do is set up a dumb iMac as a network interface to my G5 because I've use all of the G5's ports for our recording studio and the iPods need external power source if they are plugged directly into the G5.
If you could show me an easier way to run iTunes 7 on the iMac I wouldn't be as ****** off as I am at Apple for not supporting the 9 older computers I own with usable help and upgrades.

How to convert video and dvd for iPod

1. Download, install and run PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter. It can convert from DVD, Tivo, DivX, MPEG, WMV, AVI, RealMedia and many more to iPod Video.
(PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter Download)
2. Click "Open ..." button and choose a video file or DVD disc to open. Wait for the movie to start playing in the preview window.
3. Based on the aspect ration of the video source PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter will choose the best resolution for the output iPod video. Nevertheless you can select a resolution of your choice to stretch/squash the picture. Alternatively, you can choose a Crop Mode to cut unimportant parts of the video (like top/bottom black bars or subtitles).
You can also adjust the desired quality to reduce the output size of the movie.
In the preview window you will see what the resulting movie will look like.
When you have set the desired settings simple click on the "Record it" button to convert the video/DVD.
Depending on the settings a 60 minutes video is converted on average for 15 minutes.
4. When the process finishes you can test the recorded video file on your PC using QuickTime to see if it works well.
Then launch iTunes, add the recorded file into the library and update iPod (under iTunes' File menu). And have a nice time!
Additional Settings
1. Video Settings
Video Frame Rate
Known as Frame Per Second (FPS). It refers to the number of pictures displayed in 1 second in order to form continuous motions. The default frame rate is 15 fps. You may choose 24fps to get more continuos motions.
When selecting higher fps, increase the movie quality and size a little. This is because more frames need some amount of additional motion data to be stored.
Brightness Level
Increase the level to make video appear brighter on your iPod screen. The default is level 0 (No brightness change from the original video).
2. Audio Options
Audio Quality
There are 6 audio quality modes to choose: 32kbps Mono, 48kbps Mono, 48Kbps Stereo, 64Kbps Stereo, 96Kbps Stereo, 128Kbps Stereo.
Audio Bitrate (in Kbits per second)
Audio bitrate refers to how many data storage is allocated to store audio signals. The higher audio
bitrate, the better audio quality.
Audio Volume
You can change output audio volume in "Output Settings" dialog. The default volume level is 5 (original volume).
Stereo to Mono
When the output audio is set to Mono, you can choose which stereo channel (of input source) to be copied into the Mono channel (output). It is useful for some video sources (e.g. VCD) which use the left, right channels for different languages or for karaoke.
3. DVD subtitle(subpicture), language
It is recommended to use the native DVD menu in the preview panel to set subtitle(subpicture) and language. (Click "DVD menu" button on the right to show native DVD menu in the preview panel) You may also change the subtitle(subpicture), language in the program's Options menu, but there are some DVDs that require the change must be made in the native DVD menu instead of the program's menu.
Windows XP
Windows 2000
Windows ME

IPod Classic 160GB film library sync problem - trying to sync films that have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store - all other libraries sync perfect - why?

Hello Apple and the iTunes Windows PC users community.
I am trying to sync films that I have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store. The mp4s all appear and play successfully in my iTunes application but will not sync across to the iPod film library folder.
For your information: I am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a Windows 7 64bit machine with 500GB hard disk and 8GB of Ram in the UK.
I have restored the iPod classic 160GB three times now to see if it was a hardware problem with no joy. Each time all the music restores properly as do the podcasts and all the items in TV programmes all appear to sync and work fine.
I have also tried to copy films into the TV Programmes to get around it with no joy. They always go to the films section to start with. It is just the Films library that does not sync - all others work perfectly. As a last resort I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes with no joy either.
I am technically savvy and have gone through the itunes and ipod settings but nothing appears to make a difference - This is the first time I have had to post here as I can usually solve the majority of the ipod anomilies but this one has me flummoxed.
Has the film encoding type changed in the newest itunes update? - Has this happened to anybody else and is it a hardware, software, or operating system problem.

Having uninstalled the current version 11.1.3.8 and loaded and older version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 I can now categorically confirm that the newest update seems to be causing the problem as the films and TV Programmes are syncing perfectly on this older version.
If you are going to do this please dont forget to remove the ' iTunes Library.itl' file as this stops the older versions from running as I've just found out

I need to know the best, safest way to convert video for Mac. I just had home movies converted to a DVD format a realize now that I need another step to burn them to my computer.

I just had home movies converted to a DVD format a realize now that I need another step to burn them to my computer. This is for a Christmas present! Help.

I don't think you need to use a ripper program to read a home movie DVD. Those are primarily for copy-protected commercial DVDs, right?
I think you just need to transcode the DVD files using a utility like Handbrake, which is free and fast.

Does QuickTime Pro convert an ISO DVD movie to an mp4?

I'm thinking about purchasing the Pro version of QuickTime; but what I REALLY want to do is convert some ISO DVD Image files to the QuickTime mp4 format so I can put it on my iPod or view it with my AppleTV.
Does anyone out there know if this is possible BEFORE I spend money on this?
Thanks,

Does anyone out there know if this is possible BEFORE I spend money on this?
QT does not support "muxed" MPEG2/PCM or MPEG2/AC3 au either purchase the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component ($19.99) and download the free MPEG Streamclip app or use the free HandBrake app to convert your DVD imaged content MP4/M4V content for playback on mobile devices.

Is quality better with software for converting VHS to DVD than using an actual converter?

Is quality better with software for converting VHS to DVD than using an actual converter?

Not sure what you mean by "actual converter".
If you mean if you just played a VHS tape to a DVD recorder and recorded like that... You will get close to the quality of the VHS.
If you have a good capture software and hardware you might be able to clean the video and audio up. But VHS is pretty limited in quality.

Convert swf to dvd format

what is the most efficient way to convert swf to dvd
format? are there more than one way? I'm trying to avoid
degradation

I think they mean to convert flash content into a type of
file to use for dvd authoring/burning. "Efficient" is a relative
term when it comes to what you want to do. The best answer
sometimes depends on what is actually in your flash file. If it's
all vector, you have less to worry about when it comes to
generation loss. There are several "swf 2 avi" converters out
there. Flash itself lets you export to avi, but the quality has
never been good. I use GeoVid's Flash to Video Encoder
http://www.geovid.com/Flash_to_Video_Encoder_PRO/
and Flashants SWF2Video
http://www.flashants.com/root/index.shtml
Each performs relatively well. From that, you can use the exported
video and place into whatever dvd burning application you
have.

Using MPEG streamclip to convert VIDEO_TS files (DVDs) with chapters

I am using MPEG Steamclip to convert DVDs (ie VIDEO_TS files).
Where the DVD has no chapters then it converts in one go into a new file.
However where the DVD has some chapters, it gives me an option to convert each chapter individually. I actually just want to convert the whole DVD in one go, with all the chapters merged together - is there any way to do this?
Thank you

Thanks for the help

Convert avi to dvd r

Guidane on converting avi to dvd r file format appreciated.

Well, DVDs use MPEG-2 video, so that's what you need to convert to. Unsurprisingly, you'll need software that specializes in DVD creation - Toast, Compressor, Adobe Encore are the three main active programs at this point. iDVD will do it if you can track down a copy.

What is the best way to back-up and load Hi-8 video onto my i-Mac so I can edit it on i-movie? A camera store will convert it to DVD for $32/120min.ll

What is the best way to back-up my Hi-8 video tapes and then load them onto my i-Mac so I can edit them on i-movie? A camera store will convert them to DVD for $32/120min. Will I lose a lot of quality that way?

Quality is not much of an issue with Hi8, the main issue is age of the tapes. The older the tapes, the more degraded the images are going to be. Regardless of how you transfer the video, the quality is going to be pretty much the same.
The "best" way depends on how valuable the images are to you and how many tapes you have. I did a similar project last winter with a collection of 14 Hi8 tapes that dated from 1994 to 2002. I bought a converter bridge (Canopus), maximum RAM for my Mac, and a huge hard drive. I also decided to get Final Cut Express because it had more ability to enhance the pictures after downloading them. I am very happy with the results, but it cost me nearly $1200 for the upgrades, equipment, and software.
The only other thing to consider is to be sure that if you go with an outside vendor (like the Camera Store) that the files they provide for you will be in a format that iMovie can recognize.
Good luck.
