Copying and burning dvds

hi
i am wondering how you copy dvds and then burn them.
i went on a forum and they suggested mac the ripper. It is all above board dvd's, they are training videos that i have to copy for my boss, nothing illegal.
when i used mac the ripper it put the dvd into a folder (a VIDEO_TS folder ) that i cannot open.
burning them i guess i would use idvd, as i have made dvds myself and burnt with that.
i am sorry if i sound a bit stupid but.....so be it!
so the how do i copy a dvd???
thank you

After you get the Video TS folder on your desktop, you simply drag it to Your choice of either DSK Utility , or Toast and put in a blank DVD-R and click burn.
If you are not familiar with DVD Burning it can get confusing in a hurry at first.
To help you out a little.
Standard DVD's are 4.7 gb in size.
Most Data, and Audio is not a problem.
Most people run into there problem when trying to copy a commercially made DVD that may have 6 or 7 GB on it. Thus it will not fit on a Standard 4.7GB DVD.
Here is where you need a top of the line software to accomplish this task.
Roxio's Toast 7, or Popcorn.
What it does is read the Video TS folders size and content and then it automatically compresses the content to fit on a 4.7 GB DVD.
All of this is done with a couple of clicks of the mouse.
Using Apple's software to copy is fine through the Disc Utility for Audio, and Data, and some Video, Take note that Apples furnished software is entry level and there are only certain things it is capable of.
Hope this helps. Don

  • What software would I need to copy and burn DVD's

    What software would I need to copy and burn DVD's

    Copy what kind/type of DVDs?  For non-copy protected DVDs you can use Disk Utility (in the Applications folder) to make a disk image of the DVD disk and then burn it back to a disk.

    I can copy previously burned DVD's on my Mac mini through disk utilities, but my mother-in-law can't on her new iMac flat screen. Is there another way to copy them on her iMac? Is there another program she needs to use?

  • Satego X200-21D: TS-L632D DVD-Drive doesn't read and burn DVD-R DL

    Hallo,
    I have problems with my SATEGO X200-21D DVD-Drive
    TS-L632D to read an burn DVD-R DL discs.
    I contacted the Toshiba-support via e-mail ans asked
    for a new drive-firmware, but the answer did not solve my problem.
    There are only updates in the toshiba download area,
    but not for my drive model. I can send my notebook
    for money to a service partner, to check this problem.
    I can not understand this! I bought a highend notebook
    for 1.700 EUR and it is no firmware update support
    available to solve problems with newer discs?
    If i search for this problem in the WEB, there an a lot of
    questions and problems with reading and burning
    DVD-R DL discs with this drive modell!
    How can it be???
    I hope for some hints to get a firmware drive update
    to fix the problems reading and writing DVD-R DL discs.

    Hi,
    yes I have got the TS-L632D drive and not the TS-L632H - that is true. But why is no firmware update available for TS-L632D,
    because also this drive has problems with DVD-DL discs!? I payed 1700,- EUR for my Thoshiba notebook with the
    DVD-drive TS-L632D. And in my opinion it can't be, that for this drive version is no firmware update available!!!
    Other companys (f. i. DELL , SAMSUNG) support this drive version and offer firmware updates for this drive modell.
    It is a fact that my DVD-drive has problems to read and burn DVD-DL discs! This is a known fact for many drives and therfore
    exists firmware updates for the DVD-drives to fix this problem. But why not for my drive modell???
    My be it was an error to by a Toshiba Notebook!? I am a customer and I don't care what special
    DVD-drive modell is in my notebook (TS-L632D , H or wwhat ever)!!!
    My message to Thoshiba: "Pleas help me to solve my problem!!!"
    Greetings

  • Superdrive can read and burn dvds but CANNOT read or burn CDs??

    My DVR-107D can read and burn DVD's, but all of a sudden it cannot even read or mount a cd. It also cannot burn CD's. I've run 2 cleaning discs, and even manually cleaned the lens. I feel it may be a software issue at this point... Any ideas?? Finder is set to open CDs and DVDs to the desktop.

    Hi
    There are two lenses in the drive. It is possible for one to fail while the other still functions. I manually cleaning the lenses made no difference, it is quite possible that aspect of the drive is dead.
    You may want to try from a different admin User account (and with a third party app such as Toast, in addition to Finder, iTunes, iPhoto, Disc Utility)

  • I/O error when attempting to copy previously burned DVD

    Copied and successfully burned a DVD when running MacOS 10.5.? using SimplyBurns. Currently running 10.6.2. Attempted to make copy of the previous successful copy using Disk Utility New Image command (Image format: compressed, Encryption: none) Get the Creating image "xxx.dmg" message and the desktop DVD icon disappears and name of the DVD displayed in the Disk Utilities side bar grays (Am able to select the grayed name and choose the Disk Utility Mount command to remount the DVD to be copied while the image creation progress bar continues). Result is the same whether the DVD is remounted or not: "Unable to create xxx.dmg (Input/Output error)"
    Get same result if I copy the contents of the DVD to the desktop and move that file to my burn folder. And then the same result if I use the disk utility SimplyBurns (version 416 (416)) 1:1 Copy procedure. The technical error message is as follows:
    Burning Failed
    "DiscOperation_ErrorKey" = "HdiUtilError_CreateFailed";
    "DiscOperation_RealTaskDurationKey" = 1564.301000118256;
    "DiscOperation_ReturnCodeKey" = 1;
    Have read 302925, "iDVD: Troubleshooting issues with burning disks" and "Factors that affect writing to or reading from optical media". The Matshita UJ-846 drive has an apparently later firmware version, but I don,t know how to install it and don't know whether that will screw up communications with MacOS.

    Hi,
    If you still have the original footage of the movie you could go back into iDVD and instead of "burn disc" you could "save as disc image" and burn multiple copies from it.

  • Converting and burning DVD from NTSC to PAL

    I have created a DVD using iMovie (6.0.2) and iDVD (6.0.2) using NTSC format. I want to share a copy of the DVD with relatives oversees and I have been trying to create/convert a DVD formatted for PAL. I have not had any success!! These are the steps I have used:
    1. Under PREFERENCES, I selected 25 fps
    2. A message window came up indicating the original iMoive file was converted from 29.97 fps (NTSC) to 25 fps (PAL)
    3. I Selected Save As and saved the converted iMovie file at 25 fps as a different file
    3. I Opened the Saved iMovie file under iMoive checking that the PREFERENCES was set at 25 fps
    4. Export from iMovie (full quality) the movie (I have selected 25 fps under PREFERENCES prior to exporting
    5. Import the movie file I just exported and then set the chapter markers and save the new movie in iMovie
    6. SHARE the new movie and select iDVD
    7. When iDVD opens, I check the PREFERENCEES and it has PAL set in the preferences and also has PAL selected under Poject Info
    8. I set up all the themes, fonts, etc. to customize my DVD
    9. I then select BURN DVD and I get the following message: "TV Standard Conflict? It seems that we are burning a NTSC movie on a PAL disc. Proceed with burning?
    ANY Suggestions or Advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello Morris,
    you do not actually have to convert your iMovie NTSC project to PAL before burning in iDVD. just go to iDVD preferences and select PAL as new standard, then create a new project and import your NTSC iMovie. iDVD will do the standard conversion AND encoding.
    the NTSC/PAL conversion done in iDVD, however, doesn't produce the best results - give it a try though, but if you're not satisfied with the DVD's quality, consider getting JES Deinterlacer to do the standard conversion. this software can handle directly the reference movie stored in your project and will output the converted movie to the same location, so when you open your iDVD project, it will be in your media pane
    JES Deinterlacer is freeware and you can find it here:

  • Copy and Finalise DVD-R help

    I have never used my super drive on my computer to burn a DVD.
    Yesterday a friend gaveme a DVD of his childs school recital that he wanted to copy. I tried to use disk utility but kept getting an error so them I just copied the two folders on the DVD to my desktop and then draggged both folders to a blank DVD which copied everything and then i selected burn. The disc plays on any computer but will not play on any DVD player I have or my friend has. The DVD player manuals all say that the DVD disc needs to be finalised in order to play, How do I do this?

    I tried to do that but kept getting an Input /output error and could not make a disc image using disk utilities that is why I copied everything onto the desk top and dragged it to the blank DVD-R and then burned it. Now how can I copy and finalise?
    I cannot get iDVD to import anything, I tried import and I tried dragging the disc to the project windo neither seems to work but maybe I don't know how to use iDVD as well.

  • Scratch disk settings, and burned DVD's freezing

    Hi, I would be very grateful for help with the following please. Recently I changed my scratch disk settings for the last 2 projects, and am now having problems. Please tell me if they are connected. Up until now my scratch disk settings were all set on the C drive, ie. the same drive as windows operating system. I have now changed these all to the I drive, ie. a secondary internal hard drive. My new problem is that when I send my project to Adobe Encore via Dynamic link, and add menus and burn on to DVD, my finished DVD is freezing and jumping in various random places.
    I am using a pretty high end system on windows 7 64 bit. I am using TDK dvd-r discs, as I have been for the last 15 years. On reading some forums, I understand that these TDK discs are not the greatest, so I am awaiting delivery of some Verbatim 43549 16x DVD-R 4.7GB. I should have these by tomorrow, but I am not at all confident that this is my answer. Because I have been using the TDK discs for so long, and have only had the occasional coaster from them, I can't see that I now am getting 90% coasters from them.
    So, to sum up! Are these scratch disk settings correct, or am I confusing things having to swap across hard drives? This is the only thing that I am aware that I have changed in the last 2 projects, and am now having this problem. Your help would be most welcome, regards Charlie

    Hi. It's me, again! Sorry for going on about this, but I am at a complete loss now. Here is my chain of events.
    I bought some Verbatim 16x DVD-R discs, burned off one copy and watched it start to finish, perfect. Full of confidence I proceeded to burn off my three problem weddings, each consisting of 2-3 discs times 6 copies of each. A total of 42 discs, labeled and ready to go. I then done a spot check on some, and they started pixelating, and freezing, same as before. So into the fire they went.
    I then purchased a Sony Optiarc AD-7280S writer, fitted it and tried again on Verbatim discs. Even more full of confidence, because I had burned these on Imageburn software at 4X. (Previous to this I was burning from Encore at 6X), and the first one was flawless, I made the same mistake, and burned all 42 again, labels and all. Spot check again, problem still there. I then tried playing them in my other Sony DVD player, just in case, no good. Into the fire again.
    I then got my old computer wired up, which is fitted with a Pioneer writer (model no 108 or something to that effect) and burned off a few copies. Perfect, as far as I can see. I have randomly watched 5 different DVD's from this, and as far as I know, they are fine. I really don't want to watch any more weddings. There is only so much I can take. LOL. But I do beleive the 42 discs are fine, even the few that I had to burn on my old TDK discs, as I am awaiting delivery of more Verbatims.
    I don't understand this. It is a new computer in May last year, and I have had no end of problems since using it. It had been set up for power saving, and this caused all sorts of problems. However, all the power settings are now set up for perfomance, screensavers switched off, auto updates disabled on my internet security suite. I think windows updates automatically, but I don't see how to disable this. Still, I disconnect from the internet when burning now anyway.
    ANY IDEAS PLEEEEASEEEE.
    Best regards Charlie

  • Want to record edit and burn dvds of videos from canon camcorder what is the best way

    what is the easiest way to transfer recordings from my canon camcorder hd to dvds after editing. The new imovie does not have idvd on it to burn dvds.

    I'm assuming you're editing in iMovie? If you still have an older retail version of iLife, you can use that to install iDVD - I am using it with mavericks. Or, the retail 09 and 11 iLife disks are still available at some online resellers. The best thing out there still is iDVD with its customizable menus, themes, etc. However, there are other options for just burning: one good ons is Roxio Toast; then there is the free app Burn (basic I'm told, but works). Or google for others. Personally, I'd get iDVD.
    The new iMovie (or the older versions) did not have iDVD built in - it's just a link to the iDVD application. FWIW, I prefer to use the older iMovie versions because they have more quality options to choose from when exporting. With the new iMovie, choose to export to file and choose your recording size and then you can drag that file into a burning app (or iDVD if you get it).

  • Toast 7 and burning DVD's

    Hey everyone I just wanted to let you know that I bought Toast 7 and it is by far the best CD/DVD burning software out there. The new stuff they have put on there just makes it worth every penny! One thing I wanted to let you all know though is that if you rip a DVD with MacTheRipper you have to extract the whole thing, not just the main feature for Toast 7 to read it. For more information on burning DVD's check out my site...
    And as usual, if you have any questions about anything Mac related feel free to drop me a line.

    Hi
    I suggest you try * Creating Disc Image in DVDSP * and burning it with Toast. That way you'll be 100% sure about your disc format.
    Hope that helps !
