Copying DVD to Hard Disc

I ha a non copywright DVD that I want to copy to be able to play from my Mac rather than from the DVD.
The DVD has 2 TS folders (audio & video)
Can someone enlighten me on the best way to import to my Mac please?
All help appreciated - thanks
Patrick

Non-encrypted DVDs can just be copied like any other disc. A handy way is to hold down the option key and drag the whole disc icon onto the desktop or a folder. But it's just the VIDEO_TS folder that matters.
When you want to play the movie, run DVD Player, select File -> Open DVD Media, and select the VIDEO_TS folder copy on your hard disk.

What you want to do is select the files you want to move then go File>Relocate Masters. Your images will then be referenced to a location you select. Aperture will still continue to manage the images, but the external hard drive must be connected if you want to make adjustments. Aperture will retain Metadata and any adjustment information. Your original images will stay unmodified on your external drive.

Help! Copying DVD onto hard drive to watch at a later date- HOW???

I am very new to the world of MacBooks. Does anybody know if I am able to copy DVDS onto my hard drive to watch at a later date without having to carry disks. After some reasearch it appears i may have to download a program 'Mac Ripper.' Is this necessarily the case or am I able to do this without having to down load this program? I have the latest MacBook Pro OS X 10.4.8.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Yes, you'll need a ripping application of which MacTheRipper is a good choice. Once you've ripped a DVD to your hard drive you can play it using DVD Player (selecting "Open DVD Media" from the File menu).

Best way,copy dvd onto hard drive

I am attempting to copy my non-copyright dvd's onto my mac mini so I can put them on the hard drive as well as simply copy them onto flash drive for use
when I need them at work(teacher). Suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Try this:
goto applications > utilities > disk utility
insert your dvd with the data that you want to make an iso from
the disk will appear in disk utility on the left hand side
click on the name of the disk [not the name of the cd / dvd drive]
click the ‘new image’ icon on the top bar
select ‘cd / dvd master’ form the ‘type’ dropdown
it will then make you an iso image [it will have the extension 'cdr']
You can then put this wherever you like. When you are ready to view
it, double click it to mount it on the desktop. Then you can open it
with any DVD player. Also, some players can take the resulting image
directly (Mplayer is a free app that can do this).
Also, once in this format, you can then easilly burn copies of it.

How can I boot from my recovery dvd to reach the system recovery C: on a extern hard disc

I think a have a virus in my notebook Pavilion 15 and want to restore my C partition with a system back up. I made this system back up a month ago and it is stored on a extern hard disc. I have also made a recovery dvd. How can I boot my notebook from my dvd to start the procedure? I have 2 partions on my notebook. The second partition contains My Documents.
Thanks in advance.
Tineke

It is unlikely that the back-up of the system recovery, that you have stored on an external drive, will be useful in recovering your computer. Please see HP PCs - Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8), for instructions on using the HP Recovery Disc set your created earlier. Typically, the disc set is 4 to 6 DVDs.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Copying the program over to a new machine will not work. Install it using installation files and activate it using the serial number assigned to the license.

HT1364 help I just completed this task to free up my hard disc and be able to upgrade my iTunes but when I re-opened iTunes it is a blank new account! When I copied the iTunes file to the recycle bin it made me effectively empty as I copied over as it was

Hey can someone help???
I just completed this task (support.apple.com/kb/HT1364) moving my music to an external HD to free up my PC hard disc and all went well until I re-opened iTunes and it is a blank new account!
I also don't can't access anything from the recycle bin as when I copied the iTunes file to the recycle bin it said it was too large to copy over so made me effectively empty as I copied over as it was so big.
Any help gratefully recieved or where I can get some, I am going round in circles. I also don't know which itunes operating system I have, it is around 3 years old.

hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music' then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

How to copy my iphoto from one external hard disc to another?

Hi, I am trying to copy my iphoto library that is on my external hard disc to another empty external hard disc, but i keep getting this message:
You can’t copy “iPhoto Library” because it has the same name as another item on the destination volume, and that volume doesn’t distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames.
What am I doing wrong? all I want to do is to beck up my iphoto library into another external hard disc.
Thanks a lot!

If the destination EHD is empty try reformatting it and try copying again. I don't use RAW files but there's no reason I can think of why you'd get that message when trying to copy.
Here's another approach:
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and use it to rebuild your library.
2 - set the location of the rebuilt library to be on the second EHD.
Maybe iPLM will get around that obstical and let the library get recereated on that EHD. See the Note 1 at the end of the following:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Since you have the system disks, you can try running the Apple Hardware Test, that should confirm if the drive is dead or not. You'll use the disk that says 'AHT Version x.x' in small print on the label.

HT1338 How can I burn a DVD to my hard disc?

I wanto to burn a DVD into my Macbook pro hard disc and I can find a way to do so.
Does anyone have a answer for that?
Thanks lot.
Jucasom

If you mean to burn a disk using your mac, you have two options.
1) If you just need to burn the files (this will not automattically playback in a dvd player) than go to finder, click File and select 'New Burn Folder' . Add your files to the folder and then insert your dvd and burn.
2) If you have a video you want to playback on a dvd player then you must use iDvd to setup the movie and burn using iDvd.
Hope this helped.

Hello Sudhanshu Mishra,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
You can have iTunes reference the content where ever it is on your HDD without copying the content to the iTunes library, thus using twice the space.
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
From: Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1473
Additionally if you want the content to then ALSO be located in your iTunes Library folder so everything is all kept together nice and tidy, use this:
Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
Depending on how you imported items into iTunes, some items in your library might be stored in different locations (in another folder or on another hard disk, for example).
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”

How do you save a copy dvd to your external hard drive

I have managed to make a copy dvd to dvd thanks to all your help. Now I need to know how to save a copy dvd to an external hard drive. Your help will be appreciated. Please reply in as simple terms as possible because I am not up on the latest phrases and computer jargon lol

Mount the DVD on your desktop, then open it and pull VIDEO_TS folder to your desktop. Put VIDEO_TS folder in a folder and label it so you will know what it is and then move that folder to your external drive. The VIDEO_TS folder than can be burned into another dvd or played by VLC.
