Copy Video From Sony VRD-MC3 DVD Recorder to Quicktime Pro

I burn short clips to DVD on my Sony VRD-MC3 burner. I then load it on my mac to convert over to quicktime pro so I can create clips and add to my movies. The DVD plays on my mac DVD player but I can't get it to open on my QT pro so I can convert to the necessary movie extensions. The Finder wont show any folders on the DVD. Can anyone help me with being able to load these files and then convert using quick time Pro?
Thanks

I found this info about the recorder in a Google search:
Disk /dev/hdc: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
Disk /dev/hdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdc1 1 10 80000+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdc2 10 20 80000+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdc3 20 30402 244036536+ 83 Linux
Partitions 1 and 2 are ext2 filesystems storing the firmware files (locked up in a signed+encrypted cramfs image, so hacking will be hard). Partition 3 is encrypted xfs. Until someone cracks the encryption, no directory listing and no TS files (plus no guarantee that Sony is using TS files to store the content anyway). Breaking the encryption on any of this stuff may be tough since the manual acknowledges that they are using GNU Privacy Guard. On the other hand, since people have reported being able to update multiple units from the same Sony-provided USB flash drive, that would seem to indicate that the firmware isn't individually signed and encrypted for each unit, making it more significant if someone does manage to figure out the keys and signing scheme.
Sony does this kind of stuff all the time. It's similar to Macrovision protection on VHS tape recordings.
My guess is that the encryption is passed on to the DVD copy of the file which allows viewing but not any duplication or conversion.

  • Can you record a video from your desktop screen in HD with QuickTime Pro ?

    I need to play a video on my computer and record it in the highest possible quality. I came across a program called CamStudio that says it can record your desktop in HD - so I wasnt sure if QuickTime Pro 7 can do that as well.
    If someone is also familiar with what kind of computer or monitor i should play my video off of for best quality - i welcome answers to that as well.

    QuickTime Player Pro can't record the screen.
    QuickTime X can record the screen (but only all of it and not just a window). It's a part of Snow Leopard.

  • Import from Sony VRD-VC10

    HELP! All my family videos have now been copied onto DVD using the Sony VRD-VC10 DVD Direct gadget. I want to print a frame from the disc. It plays properly on the IMAC. Apple told me to buy Toaster 10 to "rip" the disc on to the computer and put it into Quicktime or MpEG format. Roxio has been unable to get it to work with these discs. ANY SUGGESTION????????

    you mean, you like to take a screenshot from a scenery on this DVD?
    no 'ripping'/conversion needed..
    download the free player app VLC (videolan.org)
    playback your DVD
    hit pause, when you reached your wanted 'frame'
    use the usual key-short-cuts of MacOs (Apple-shift-4 and hit the spacekey.. click with 'camera' into player window)
    process resulting pic in any other software..
    => Apples own DVDplayer app doesn't allow screengrabs, therefore the usage of a 3rd party app.
    don't expect wonders in pic-quality.. a DVD has small res and is highly compressed.. good for watching on TV, less good when whatched on Computers..

  • How can I easily take clips burned using a Sony VRD MC3 Unit?

    When I burn clips using the Sony VRD MC3, the clips will play on my computer but the finder does not show any files on the DVD. I think Sony creates it that way.
    I was able to copy by creating a dmg image on the desktop and then burning to a new DVD. However, it would not be recognized by the DVD player on my macbook Pro like the original that came out of the VRD MC3. Any suggestions?

  • How do I import video from Sony TRV22E into iMovie ?

    How do I import video from Sony TRV22E into iMovie ?

    Hi
    Sony TRV22E - CAN ONLY export the VIDEO material via a FireWire Cable (iLinc)
    Then Your Mac need eiter
    - a FireWire port - or -
    - a Thunderbolt port
    if only Thunderbolt - Then You need a FireWire to Thunderbolt converter.
    The USB- can only copy over the Still photos You also cam take with Your Camera. Will NEVER work for Video Export.

  • I have a Sony RDR-HDC300 DVD Recorder

    I have a Sony RDR-HDC300 DVD Recorder hooked up via HDMI cable
    Recently when turning it on, and it is "loading" it only stays on for about 10 mins.
    The loading does not complete and the recorder turns itself off and the TV screen tells me it has no signal.

    This camera works with both iMovie 09 and iMovie 11 (and all the older iMovies, too.)
    If you read the supported cameras page, you will notice that no miniDV cameras are listed individually, because they all work.
    For this camera, you need a Firewire connection. USB will not work, except to remove photos from the camera if you take stills.
    If you have FW800, you need a 9 pin to 4 pin firewire cable.
    If you have FW400, you need a 6 pin to 4 pin firewire cable.
    The camera must be plugged in to AC power (not batteries) when importing.

  • Importing video from Sony 120GB HDD Camcorder

    Looking for help on importing video from Sony 120GB HDD Camcorder.
    I recently purchased a new imac (1st mac) and imported the stored video on my Sony 120GB HDD camcorder. I would estimate that this is approximately 60-80 GB worth of video on the camcorder but when I imported this has become over 800GB on my imac and basically fills the HD.
    My question is - is this normal or am I doing something wrong.
    Cheers

    Unfortunately the video from the current crop of High Def capable cameras use a really highly compressed file format to save video. The one most used is called AVCHD and it can really save a lot of space ON THE CAMERA if you like to shoot at the highest resolution. However to edit that video, it needs to be decompressed so that iMovie can preview it, and edit it accurately down to the individual video frame level (1/30th of a second). So the short answer is you're not doing anything wrong, those video clips can expand up to 40-75GBytes per hour of video after they are imported into the iMovie Events folders. However it is entirely possible to store the iMovie Events folders on an additional external hard drive. And that's usuallly the best solution for anyone quickly running out of space.

  • Video from an already created DVD

    Is there any way at all to remove video from an already created DVD into Final Cut?

    Use MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free software) to convert the media to something like ProRes 422, then import into FCP X.
    But you need to download a Quicktime component (easy to do though).

  • Can't import videos from Sony A55

    I can't import videos from Sony A55. Anybody can?

    Fellows,
    I have an A55 as well and iMovie 8.0.6 and can not import the AVHD movies. When I look into my Kingston SD card I get a directory with 5 folders, AVF_INFO, DCIM, MISC, MP_ROOT, and private. In private there is a folder called AVCHD, in which there are 3 folders, AVCHDTN, BDMV, AND IISVPL. In BDMV there is 3 folders and two files. The folders are CLIPINF, PLAYLIST, and STREAM. In STREAM there are the .MTS files. I have tried importing them, importing STREAM, and importing BDMV, all without success. Do you know what I am doing wrong, do I need the new iMovie, any other ideas ?
    Thank you

  • I cannot copy files from CD's and DVD's to the hard drive

    I am running a G5 with OS X 10.4.8. I cannor copy files from the CD's and DVD's in the DVD-ROM drive to the hard drive. However, I can copy files from the USB floppy drive to the hard drive with no problem. What happened? Is this just a glitch? Will the problem be fixed if I just restart my computer?

    I just formatted my G5 tower, installed the 10.4.8 combo updater, and now my DVD drive will not let me copy files from a CD or DVD to my computer. I can read the files for the disk, I can choose "archive" and get them onto my computer that way (very time consuming - I have to copy ALL of my files back onto my HD), and I can burn disks. All I cannot do is drag files from the disks to my HD. When I try, I get a grey circle with a line through it, not the green + I should be getting.
    I have tried: updating my DVD drivers, reinstalling the system (I'm on 10.4.0 now and it still doesn't work), and clearing the PRAM.
    Judging by you having the same problem, this has to do with the 10.4.8 update. %#$&!
