Converting  file  from dvd for dvdsp

I've shot a video for someone. He was recently on a morning tv show being interviewed. he was given a copy on dvd. It is a "vr" file. He would like me to create a separate chapter in DVDSP for the footage. What do I need to do?

Hal
Give this http://www.squared5.com/ a shot, I think it converts VR files to other formats
You would change it to either DV or other editable format (or you may able to directly demux to elements DVD SP can use)
As an FYI, the television morning has rights to the broadcast, so you want to be sure your friend is not running afoul of any restrictions - usually they do not mind if just part of a press kit for the person being interviewed, but keep it in mind

  • Converting Files from DVD Recorder disc to FCP?

    I am trying to get the video and audio file off an older dvd recorder disk that I made and I'm not able to do it. I tried MPEG Streamclip and the dvd won't transfer over for some reason. I also tried to copy and paste the folder on the dvdr to the desktop and it copies up to about 60% and then stalls. Does anyone know of another method to get the files off of the dvdr? I want to change the beginning on a FC timeline and then go to DVDSP and loop for encoded file for an installation where they need the dvd to be playing continuously.

    Unfortunately, these suggestions won't solve the problem. The disc was finalized and I always do otherwise you can't screen on anything else, and when I tried to copy the video and audio files onto my hd it copies only up to a certain point and then I get an error message telling me I can't go further. I don't remember the exact message, but the dvd drive slows down and stops and I can't copy further.

  • 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.

  • Copying hangs when copying large files from DVD

    I'm having trouble copying large files (>2GB) from DVDs to my built-in hard drive. When I drag the file icon from the DVD window to the desktop, the progress bar pops up almost immediately, and says "0 KB of 2.3 GB copied" and "Estimated time left: 1 minute" -- and then it just sits there, doing nothing. In some cases, after five minutes or so of inactivity, the copy finally begins... but most of the time it never does. Force-Quit doesn't help; the only way out is to do an emergency restart and try again.
    This problem began when I upgraded to Tiger, and several members of my office group have been experiencing the same problem on their own computers as well.
    I've poked around the forum looking for answers but the only thing I could find that looked related was a conflict between iSight and some third-party external hard drives... but none of us have iSight, and none of us are using third-party external drives, so clearly that's not the issue we'rehaving.
    Any help out there?

    Michael, I occasionally notice anomolous behaviour when files get dragged between volumes. Mostly the copying window shows an accurate and immediate indication of what's going on, but other times it just looks like nothing's happening, the display never changes, yet, it is in fact copying the files over. Now, if you're copying 2gb files from DVD to HD, it's gonna take some time, more than 5 minutes, so I'm wondering how long you've left it before forcing it to quit?

  • Any idea why my saved documents are unable to be read? "convert file from" box pops up, applications are listed to use but if any are chosen, the file then opens but is in symbols

    When attempting to open saved documents for viewing a box pops up "convert file from" with applications that can be chosen from to use. When any of the options are chosen the document then opens but is in symbols and is unreadable. This is happening with all saved documents.  Can you offer any help with this?

    Hi,
    If you don't find any clue, you can send your file to me (guillaume.rouyreATgcosiDOTcom, replace cap) so I can give a try.
    Hope this helps,

  • "Convert file from:" error box

    Every time I click on a PDF file to download, the downloads window comes up and shows the download progress, and when the download finishes, a box appears that says "Convert File". In the box it says: Convert file from: then it lists various file types i.e., Text only, MS-DOS Text, Rich Text Format, HTML Document, Single File Web Page, Unicode Text and many more. It is trying to open a PDF file in Microsoft Word. I can't figure out how to change this. Help please?!

    That does not sound like Safari behavior. Are you using Safari to download, or another browser such as FireFox?
    Edit: Actually, I re-read what you wrote and saw that you said it was trying to open using MS Word. So I think the "convert file" message is coming from Word.
    Therefore, I think you have .pdf files currently set to open using MS Word. So after Safari completes the download, it is handing it off to MS Word to open, and MS Words is running and asking how to convert it to one of the formats Word supports.
    If the above sounds reasonable based on a lot of assumptions I made, you can try the following. First show any PDF file you already have in a Finder window. Right (Control) click on it, and select +Get Into+. In the Info window, look for +Open with+. In that section, if it currently set to open using Word, select either Preview (default setting) or +Adobe Reader+. Then, click the button below that setting that says +Change All+. This should change the setting so that all PDF files open with whatever app you selected that is not Word.

  • Convert files from Canon C300

    Hi,
    I want to convert files from Canon C300, but i can only import one by one file. Is it possible ti import all in the same time?
    The Canon C300 files are encapsulated, i just have access to MXF file when i open folder by folder.
    I'm in iMac, Yosemite.
    Thanks,
    Lise

    Thank you for the reply.  I have struggled with this problem for about 6 weeks.  Got bum information from both Canon and Adobe.  Grew discouraged.
    As a “test” after reading the discussion, I downloaded the trial version of Elements 10.  It contained RC 6.6, which would not do the S100.  I “updated”
    to 6.7 which finally did the job.  I’m really curious as to why the download of Elements 10 doesn’t “ship” with the latest RC?  I guess just to maintain
    confusion for as long as possible.
    Thanks again.  Only your reply enabled a final solution.

  • Is it easy to convert films from dvd to ipad?

    H, trying to convert films from DVD to watch on my ipad 2, is there an easy way of doing this? any help would be great, Thanks.

    Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected video DVDs, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries), so we're not allowed to discuss it here.   Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie for use on portable devices. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature.
    If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. Once converted, you just drag the movie into the iTunes window on your computer and you can then sync it to your iPad.
    Regards.

  • I am using the desktop screensaver and a file from dropbox for photos.  Does the list of screen savers actually use the file, or just link to it.  If I delete the file from the dropbox, will the screen saver be lost?

    Using the desktop slideshow, I have added a file from dropbox for the slideshow.  If I delete the dropbox file, does that delete the file from the list on the slideshow?  Do I need to leave the file on the computer itself rather than in the dropbox and then delete it from the dropbox?

    If you are going to delete the file from Dropbox, you will need the file on your computer.
    You will probably need to put the file in Library/Screen Savers

  • How can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac?

    how can i export a 24bit avi file from photoshop for mac? i have a client that specificly needs the files to be avi and in 24bit what are the settings that i need to use to export the video using photoshop on a mac?

    Hello,
      To make a 24-bit AVI file in Photoshop, go to File>Export>Render Video. Then, under File Options, choose AVI from the Quicktime Export drop-down menu. Click the Settings button. Click the Settings button in the AVI Settings window. Change Compression to None, and then choose "Millions of Colors" from the Depth drop-down under Compression.
      The Millions of Colors option is for 24-bit video (8-bit R+G+B channels, 8x3=24). Millions of Colors+ is for 32-bit video (24-bit video plus an 8-bit alpha channel).

  • Printing postscript file from IDcs3 for Distiller

    I have just upgraded my mac to a MP 2.8 quad duo and hence to Leopard. I am running OS 10.5.2 and ID 5.02 so it is all up to date. I have cs3 design premium installed.
    When running IDcs3 on OS 10.4 in order to create a pdf for 4 color print I would print a ps file from IDcs3. I select postscript file as the printer option and then in the PPD field choose Acrobat printer.
    Now, having migrated to Leopard, the Acrobat option is no longer available in the PPD field. I have reinstalled Acrobat Professional to see if there was a problem with the printer profiles being installed, but that did not change anything.
    I would have thought that selecting a PPD of "device independent" should work, but with that option selected I am unable to select the page size options.
    How do I create postscript files from IDcs3 for Distiller?

    WRT/ PDF/X-4, be aware that the final PDF/X-4 specification was published only one month ago by ISO. What is supported by Acrobat 8.x and InDesign 5.x does
    not fully comply with that specification. The next major releases of Acrobat and the Creative Suite will provide full PDF/X-4 support.
    Note that PDF/X-4 provides for full color-managed PDF 1.6 with support for live transparency, JPEG2000 image compression, and layers for (for versioning/editioning printing).
    Although the current release of the Adobe PDF Print Engine is not an officially compliant reader of PDF/X-4 files, PDF/X-4 is the ideal PDF variant for same.
    In terms of Distiller, there are no plans to provide support for PDF/X-4 in the Distiller simply because the Distiller doesn't support live transparency. Although one could conceivably ruin transparency by flattening and then validate the resultant PDF file as conforming to PDF/X-4 -- there is no requirement for live transparency -- use of flattened transparency in PDF/X-4 is certainly against the spirit of the standard we put together and by disallowing its production directly from Distiller or allowing InDesign's PDF export to flatten transparency going into PDF/X-4, we hope to dramatically improve the situation vis-a-vis rendering of transparency for printing by keeping transparency "live" and at its highest level of abstraction until RIP time.
