Copy Video from DVD?

Is it possible to copy a video off a DVD I created in FCE? I'm not able to retrieve all support files from a corrupt hard drive that housed the original video I created a couple years ago. Is there a way to copy the audio & video files from the DVD back into FCE (or someplace else) so that I can burn more DVD's? The remaining DVD I have seems to be deteriorating so I hope to get the images back on my HD in order to repair where needed before burning a new one.

If you want to bring the material into FCE, then yes. If you want it only for the web, you can use Streamclip to convert it directly to a web format, or Handbrake is good for this.

  • Need to copy video from dvd to be able to email

    I am a realtor and have a video of a sewer scope on dvd. How can I copy this onto my Mac so I can email it to the other realtor in a size that can be emailed?

    This is probably the wrong forum to ask this in since this forum is dedicated to non-Intel-based Macs.
    That being said...
    I can not guarantee the following will work, but you can give this a try.
    I will assume that the movie on the DVD is not copyrighted.  Put the DVD into your optical drive.  IF iDVD starts up, File Quit it from the Top Menu.  IF the DVD has not appeared on the Desktop (it should look like a CD/DVD), click on a blank spot on your desktop so that the word Finder appears next to the Apple in the top left corner of the screen.  Click on the word Finder, scroll down to Preferences, and open the Preferences.  A window will open, click on General at the top of that window. Under Show these items on the desktop, check the box by CDs, DVDs, and iPods.  The DVD should now be visible.
    Double click on the DVD icon, and a window will open, showing all the contents of that DVD.  If the movie you want is the only thing on that DVD, click, hold, and drag it over and drop it on your hard drive icon.  A copy of the movie will be made on your hard drive.  If there is more than one movie, or movies and pictures, you can copy all of them, or hunt until you find the movie you want.
    If the movie file is too large to easily e-mail, download the program FLV Crunch (Google it).  When you open FLV Crunch, at the top of the window to left you can see a button labeled Format to convert the movie into a different format.  I suggest .mp4.  On the top right of the window, under Resolution, uncheck the box keep original value.  Down below that, under the tab Presets, select iPhone.
    Now, click on the button Add.  A window will open, click on you hard drive, select the movie you copied to there, and click the button Open.  The movie should now show in the box to the bottom right on the Converter window.  Click on the Start button, and FLV Crunch should now begin to convert the movie.  A progress status in percentages, should appear next to the movie in the box.  When it's done converting, it will say done.  Click the Remove button, to remove it from FLV Crunch window.  Theoretically, and I say theoretically as I have never tried it, the converted movie should now be a smaller file, and more easily emailed.
    Good luck.

  • Copy photos from DVD to Mac?

    I would like to copy photos from DVD to Mac computer anyone know how to do it.

    If the DVD was made on a Mac and they're JPEGs they should openable in Preview from the DVD. If so, just select them and drag them into a new folder to copy onto your hard drive. If the Mac doesn't recognize the DVD and it doesn't mount in the finder window or on the desktop, I'd say you're out of luck. But there are work arounds possible and too many to discuss without knowing a lot more about your setup and the DVD.

    Hi wayneiii,
    If you are having issues adding video files to iTunes on your Windows machine, you may want to verify that they are in a format that iTunes can play. You may find the following article helpful:

  • Ripping video from DVDs for FCP

    I want to create an assignment for students (I teach a very basic video editing ocurse) where students will rip some video from various commercially available DVDs to practice editing their own trailers together with scenes from the movies. In the educational environment it is legal to rip short clips of video from DVDs.
    I think I'm going to use MPEG Streamclip for doing this
    1. Does anyone have any tips for preparing ripped footage to make sure it looks good in a FCP sequence? Is there anything you should do with the footage in FCP to make it look good?
    Thanks.

    David is right. MPEG Streamclip will not rip commercial DVDs.
    It may well be legal in education to rip discs, however discussion of the process is not permitted here.
    Once you have that aspect sorted out...
    I have a tutorial for MPEG Streamclip here: http://www.secondchairvideo.com/?p=739

  • Import Video from DVD

    When I import a 3-minute video from DVD into my project, it shows up as a single photo of the 1st frame. When I preview it, the entire video play fine. Question: How do I display it such that I can see ALL of the frames in the video? … or is it NOT possible. Thank you.

  • Copying video from multiple itunes

    I have 2 pc's with latest version of itunes. I have no problem copying music from either itunes to my touch. I purchased a copy of a movie from itunes and downloaded to one pc. Purchased a dvd copy of another movie that came with a digital copy that I put on the other pc. It will let me copy a video from either itunes to my touch but when it does it tells me the touch is currently synched to the last pc I was on and will synch to the new pc and delete the video I loaded from the other pc. Both movies are legally purchased. Any ideas?

    Also, I have tried copying the dvd/digital video from my ipod to the other computer. It keeps telling me that I need to authorize that pc. It already is.

  • Transferring videos from DVDs onto the iPod

    Is it possible to transfer a Movie from a DVD onto my iPod. If so, how? I have tried, but it doesn't work. Do I need to change the type of file that the video is? I have a 5th Generation iPod Video 30GB, but I will be getting an iPod classic 80GB soon.

    I am afraid copying a movie DVD to iTunes would be illegal if you look at the copyright notice on the DVD. It would involve breaking the copy protection and it is against the forum terms of use to discuss this.

  • Streaming Video from DVD

    I have a client that wants meeting videos on there website.
    They are 3-4 hours long and I get them in DVD format. Can someone
    point me to a tool that would help prep and deliver the content on
    an asp web page. I have flash, but are the other tools to do this,
    what is the best format for streaming and delivery. Any help or
    suggestions would be appreciated. -Thanks

    Short version, upload to YouTube. Copy and paste code into
    your web pages.
    Otherwise start here:
    http://www.mediacollege.com/video/streaming/
    You'll need to edit 3-4 hour videos into shorter segments,
    unless you happen
    to have a dedicated "streaming video server." Usually big
    bucks.
    Which video editing software do you have?
    http://video-editing-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
    You will need to downsample from DVD format for the web.
    Flash is the
    preferred format. You may also want to watermark video clips
    in native
    format with ID or certs to protect client's content.
    If you get stuck, contact me through my website.

  • Copying video to DVD and finalising.

    I have spent the afternoon searching the net and looking at YouTube videos in vain. I'm amazed that the question has not been asked more often so either I'm unique (I don't think so ) or I'm missing something. I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) with Pages, Notes, Garageband on it but not (I think) iLife which seemed to have iDVD which I see was discontinued in July 2011.
    So. If it was discontinued what replaced it?
    I have a Liteon external DVD player which is recognised by the Mac and plays pre-recorded DVDs and today after countless clicks and different ways of doing things managed to 1. Delete a video that was already on a DVD+RW and somehow copy a video back to the same disc. I am totally lost as to how I did it as sometimes I was dragging from Finder, sometimes I clicked on the video and selected Burn to Disc, sometimes different screens popped up ... I'm lost ... totally lost.
    Also despite it being a 4.7GB disc it would only allow me to burn one video onto it and somewhere in the popups it kept incrementing the disc number so it started off as disc 1 then 2 then ...
    So.
    I have tried REALLY hard, can anyone tell me:
    How EXACTLY to burn a video to DVD ... I did it by (ultimately) trying everything which sometimes worked ... most often not. And I can't replicate it.
    Can you burn more than one video to a disc ... how?
    Finally, and something I have been totally unable to find, a DVD needs finalising/finalizing to play it on other DVD players. I've found NOTHING on this which just amazes me.
    Finally, finally, I have seen a FEW questions on this topic but so few I just don't get it and all dated before my machine.
    Appreciate any help
    Thanks

    I have sorted it. Totally baffled that other people aren't asking the same question but there you go.
    Download Burn.app from here  http://sourceforge.net/projects/burn-osx/?source=typ_redirect
    with long-winded YouTube video here   http://youtu.be/GI4AqU5vnGg
    Works perfectly.

  • Saving video from DVD drive

    I usually import video into Final Cut Express from an external DVD player. Is there anyway to import or save video from the DVD drive on the Mac Pro?

    If it is not encrypted and copyright protected, you can simply copy the video_ts folder onto you computer. Then use a free program like mpegstreamclip to convert the .vob file into a codec that you want to edit in. I use the DV codec for sd video. Then you can import it into FCS.
    If it is encrypted or copyright protected, I don't believe you can do it legally.

  • Importing Video from DVD to Edit in iMovie?

    I need to import video from a DVD to edit in iMovie. What's the best way to go about this?
    Thanks,

    DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
    for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
    * DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    * Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
    * Cinematize >60$
    * Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    * Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    * connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
    none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...
