Creating video from DVD files?

Someone sent me a DVD of some video he shot for a show that I was in. Is there a way to convert the files from the DVD to a video file that I can edit and post on Facebook?

If for whatever reason you do not like the other programs that have been suggested, another option is MPEG Streamclip. You can Google that and download it, but you may need to then buy (for $20) MPEG-2 on the Apple site to do what you have planned. I have used it for the almost the same purposes you have. I have uploaded over 70 videos to YouTube, some almost 10 minutes long. I use MPEG Streamclip to process the video, Export it to Quicktime, Import it into iMovie, and Share it to YouTube.
If you go that route, you can search and find other posts, including ones from me, that provide detailed settings to make for that.

  • Video from .ts files (created with Arcsoft Showbiz) played in accelerated.

    Hello everybody, can you explain me why in PREMIERE PRO CS6, the video from .ts files (created with Arcsoft Showbiz) is played in accelerated while the sound is played normally ?
    If it is normal, an update would be great
    Thank you.

    As far as I know, the best way to digitize vhs tapes is with a http://www.grassvalley.com/products/converters product
    Model 55 is one way from tape to computer, model 110 allows exporting back to tape
    Files are DV AVI which edit very well in all versions of Premiere

  • How to setup Compressor to create video from multiple sequences within FCP?

    I am wondering how I can set compressor up to create videos from multiple sequences within FCP. When I click file -> export - > compressor for a sequence and go into the program, it doesn't allow me to go back into FCP. I just get a spinning beach ball. Is there no way to set it up so I can prep a bunch of fcp sequences within compressor and then click submit and walk away? I have over 100 sequences that need to be exported so it would be a little difficult to do this one at a time. Thanks.

    Batch processing
    *Step one. Make sure everything in every sequence is rendered.*
    *Step two. Make a folder somewhere and name it something relevant.*
    *Step three. In FCP select all you sequences that you want to compress and right click (option), choose Batch Export from the contextual menu.*
    *Step three point one. In the batch export window click on settings and choose the folder you made in step two for the destination. Make sure Make Self-Contained is not check and include Audio and Video.*
    *Step four. Click export in the batch window.*
    Once that is done you can close FCP.
    Now in Compressor
    *Step five. Make a setting that will give you the output that you want (mpeg2, AC3, h.264, whatever). Make a destination for where you want to save the output.*
    *Step six. Make a droplet from the settings you made in step five.*
    You can quit Compressor now.
    *Step seven. Take the files that you batch exported from FCP in step three and four and drop them on the droplet you made in step six.*

  • 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.

    Hi, since i put some mp4 video or DVD files on my external hard drives final cut prox won't recognize my hard drives, i move all the video files and the problem still exist. somebody have the solution

    Did the back and forth between PC and Mac file systems screw up my files somehow?
    Yes. Unfortunately the move has almost certainly caused the loss of the resource data that would have been (invisibly) attached to those files.
    By adding a specific .mov extension after the fact you will have helped the Mac correctly identify the file type / asscoiations but also significantly you will have physically changed the filename eg from "clip" to "clip.mov". This means that when you come to reconnect the media in FCP , then FCP will be looking for files that no longer exist at the given path eg when specifically looking for our example clip called "clip" of course it won't find it.
    Try this as a test... first remove the ".mov" extension from one or more of the clips, select those clips and press Cmd-Opt-I to open an Info window for the selection. You'll see an "Open with:" popup and in that popup you should choose QuickTime Player (if its a Unix Executable then it will initially list Terminal as the appropriate app, you have to choose Other... then in the open dialog choose Enable > All Applications and then navigate to and select the Quicktime Player app as the appropriate app). After you've done that restart FCP and see if you can now reconnect to those clips.

  • Choose File Form Data Create Spreasheet From Data Files

    I am following the tutorial for LC 8 and when I get to the topic titled "Collecting the data in a spreadsheet" it says to "Choose File > Form Data > Create Spreadsheet From Data Files".
    However, when I try to follow that path I do not see a "Form Data > Create Spreadsheet From Data Files" menu option.
    What am I not doing properly? How do I accomplish this task?
    Thanks!

    Thank you so much Paul. I have been trying all day to locate the method by which I could create a spreadsheet using the pdf submit route. I suppose the tutorial in CS4 should have been changed to reflect the changed explanations, but I guess that would be difficult to do. Anyway it worked and I can now do the analysis I need from my customers (lots of pupils!).
    Best wishes,

  • Import video from DVD (VOB files)?

    What is the recommended way to import DVD (non-commercial/non-encrypted) footage into Final Cut Pro X? I have some clips on a DVD that I need to include in my project. I don't want to transcode and I've read using streamclip is the way to go but requires purchasing an out of date codec from Apple, etc. Really Apple? That's absurd. There must be a better way.
    Thanks for any tips!
    -Marty

    I get that, but you have to use some hacky work around to import video from a DVD. The version of the mpeg software is not even compatible with Mountain Lion. Tom, do you have a working workflow to import VOB files?
    Thanks.

  • Capture and import video from DVD

    Just switched from PC to MAC. I have my travel videos on DVD's. In iMovie 08 how do I capture and import the video that's on the DVD into iMovie. I couldn't find any help on this topic.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Take a look at Cinematize 2, I've used it with iMovie 06 and iDVD 08. It has several modes of converting the data. One mode is called "lossless".
    For the job you're doing you may prefer to use iMovie 06 instead of iMovie 08 (I would).
    iMovie 06 and iDVD 08 is a terrific combination.
    iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
    Your workflow would go something like this.
    Use Cinematize 2 to create a Quicktime file from the DVD.
    Important that file into iMovie 06.
    From iMovie 06, share to iDVD 08 (assuming you want a DVD).

  • How to create Exe From Data files

    my requirement is very much similar to registration of file extension.
    lets say if you have a file with extension .xyz then you can decide which program should invoke .xyz but instead of any other extension i need that extension of my file should be .exe
    and when user double clicks on this exe files the file should get opened with my own program, but if the file is true .exe (i.e. Created by some other program) then it should not get invoked by my program...
    i dont know how to do this but i know this is possible
    e.g. Flash can create an exe files from their .swf files which when opened run using flash player (but it doesnt get fooled by any .exe file. also flash exe files have different icons)
    similarly winzip can create self extracting exe files from .zip files
    can anybody help me out
    the files i am trying to create will have numeric data in spreadsheet format and when launched the player will show the data in animated format.

    i think i will briefly describe the things; what exactly i want to acheive
    my client will have one application which will acquire data and log them into files. but he want to distibute these files to other people who will not have the application developed by me.
    he wants that file should show the reports in specific way. but to see those reports end user should not be required to install any specific application.
    i know that this thing is possible. as per msdn developer can include any data (text, graphics, audio, video etc.) inside exe in the form of resource file. (and there are programs are avaiable on internet which allow to extract, edit, add resource files inside exe)
    what i dont know right now is how i can access the resource file inside exe
