DVD: can I extract the movie files?

DVD: can I extract the movie files?
I created a DVD (burned on DVD media). I did not archive the project since the files are too large. Can I extract the movie files from the DVD? I want to make a edit to the DVD.
I know if I have the movies (clips) in iMovie I can do it but how do I do it from a completed DVD that I created and dont have the assets?
I really don't want to pay for software that I will use once. Low or No cost alternative that won't sacrifice file quality? Thanks! Steve

As far as set up goes, others on this forum feel free to add. I rarely use either of the above (although I have access to them on separate power macs).
Reason: Apple's DVDSP works natively with Mpeg-2. I personally have no need for anything else since these features are already included in apple's pro apps.
Q: Doesnt DVDxdv watermark the demo version?
A: Yes. It does, until you pay for it in full.

Q:what is QT playback component??
A:The QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component provides QuickTime users with the ability to import and play back MPEG-2 content, including both multiplexed (a.k.a. muxed, where the audio and video tracks are interleaved into one track) and nonmultiplexed (a.k.a. elementary) streams.

I can't import the .MOV file .how to i use it??

i can't import the .MOV file .how to i use it??

You might need to tell us a bit more about your problem. Do you mean you can't import a video file into Premiere, or your computer is having trouble playing Quicktime files?

Can't not import mov files into AE.

This problem has appeared for some of the time. It causes several things I can't do in my After Effect, but I really have no idea how I can fix it.
Problem 1: wait a long time to open the AE, it hangs on the initializing media core and takes about 10-15 mins to get through.
Problem 2: can't import the mov files, and if I import the mov to the AE project, this pop up comes
"After Effects error: file 'file name.mov' cannot be imported - this 'MooV file is damaged or unsupported.'"
Problem 3: can't output the comp as mov. and this pop up warming comes
"After Effects: One of the output modules could not be imported. It has been reset to use the default setting for the selected file format."
I read some threads and I knew this might cause by the blocked communication between AE and QT. But I have double check my QT, it is version 7.6.6 and I have no firewall software installed, hence the communication is okay (i guess, since I can play the mov file normally and not the warm message that “QuickTime is not installed on this system…”) .
Some other thread says may because of the three party component in the QT Library. This may make sense, cause I install some converters for converting the wmv and avi before…
Here are the components in the QT Library:
AviImporter.component
FFusion.component
iChatTheaterPreview.component
IMXCodec.component
XviD_Codec.component
↑↑The above 5 component I have move them out, but no luck still ↑↑
AppleAVCIntraCodec.component
AppleHDVCodec.component
AppleIntermediateCodec.component
AppleMPEG2Codec.component
AppleProResCodec.component
DesktopVideoOut.component
DVCPROHDCodec.component
DVCPROHDMuxer.component
DVCPROHDVideoDigitizer.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutputClock.component
DVCPROHDVideoOutputCodec.component
FCP Uncompressed 422.component
LiveType.component
Could anyone give me some advise regarding to those problems, and is there any of the above component I should move away. DEL .\/.
Thanks so much in advance for any of your help and advise, really appreciate that! thanks!

Here are some background info about my mac:
Mac OSX 10.6.8
2x3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
8GB memory
AE CS5
QuickTime Player 7 version 7.6.6

I was having the same problem and so far this solution has worked for me. (knock on wood)
Try setting your default player for .mov files to QuickTime. (Mine was set to Windows Media Player)
Right click on one of the mov files you are having a problem opening in AE.
Select the "Open with" and select "Choose default program..." at the bottom.
Select Quick Time. (Make sure the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" box is checked.)
Reboot your computer.
Open AE and see if it works.

Can I burn a .mov file directly to DVD?

How do I burn my QT movie to a DVD so that the resulting DVD movie can be played back with QT?
It is only 2GB in size, so should not need compressing.
QT 7.6.4 simply does not play the video once it is on DVD.
What am I missing?

I'm not quite sure how Movie and QT Movie differ, since they both have the .mov file extension name.
The MOV, MP4, and M4V file extensions refer to the container in which the data is stored. MOV, for instance, is a generic file container which can contain up to 99 tracks of compatible data. In the case of audio and video content, that means any compression format compatible with whatever codec components you have installed on your system to include third-party components. You can place WMV, DivX, or even "muxed" MPEG-1 data in an MOV container. On the other hand, an MP4 container is normally limited to MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC audioi/video content which normally opens using the QT Player. The M4V container is even more specific --normally limited to H.264/AAC or H.264/AAC/AC3 content which automatically opens in iTunes when double-clicked (assuming you have not changed the opening application yourself). The same H.264/AAC data placed in any of these file containers will play equally well. However, owing to differences, in the container itself, they may appear to have differing file sizes or possess differing file characteristics. However, as mentioned above the A/V data is exactly the same in each. In fact, using the "Save As.." command on either the MP4 or H.264 file will save the active A/V content of that file in an MOV file container.
Now how should I burn this QT Movie to DVD to get best quality?
As previously stated, the easiest way is to place the file in a "Burn" folder and press the "Burn" button. This action simply copies the file(s) in the folder to your optical media without changing the file at all. You can also burn "data" discs using the Disk utility included in the Utility Folder but using the burn folder is an automated Finder feature that burns media without having to open a dedicated application.
Toast is obviously out, since it takes the resolution down and changes the ratio aspect. Burn with Finder does not make a dvd that is playable on a dvd player... Does this mean I should use iDVD, or is there a better option?
Here you have to make a decision. Commercial DVD players do not support HD content. You can either "author" a DVD in an application like Toast or iDVD and have it converted to SD content (the standard 720x480 VIDEO_TS VOB files) or you create an HD file that plays back in HD but only on your computer using one of the QT-based player applications. You can't have it both ways. If your files must be HD and play on a commercial player, then buy a Blu-Ray player, buy a Blu-Ray burner, and then use the Toast 10 High-Def/Blu-Ray plug-in to create either short HD DVDs or Blu-Ray discs that will play your HD content in HD on your new commercial Blu-Ray player. This is not, however, what you originally asked how to do and the HD content will not be QT compatible.

I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to.. When I've tried to download and install again

I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to.. When I've tried to download and install again it says that the "Object Already Exists." It may exists, but it is not visible in the file or in my list of programs on the Startup Menu.

cactisken
You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
What specific Window operating system are you using?
Let us go through the usual drill...
1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
Local Disk C
Program Files (x86)
Common Files
Adobe
and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
computer as Premiere Elements 13?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.

How can I read the bootstrap files and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?

How can I read the bootstrap files of any HDS Live stream and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?
Could it be that it is some kind of compressed format in the bootstrap? Can I uncompress it wirh f4fpackager.exe? Could not find any download for f4fpackager.exe. I would prefere less code to do so. Is there something in Java of JavaScript, that can extract the fragment-numbers?
Thank you!

Doesn't sound too hard to me. Your class User (the convention says to capitalize class names) will have an ArrayList or Vector in it to represent the queue, and a method to store a Packet object into the List. An array or ArrayList or Vector will hold the 10 user objects. You will find the right user object from packet.user_id and call the method.
Please try to write some code yourself. You won't learn anything from having someone else write it for you. Look at sample code using ArrayList and Vector, there's plenty out there. Post in the forum again if your code turns out not to behave.

When I move a RAW file from IPhoto to my desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file across?

When I move a RAW file from IPhoto on my macbook pro to desktop or Photoshop it changes to a jpeg and reduces in size. How can I get the Raw file to move across?

I create separate folders based on the year and then the actual date of when I take images. You can make those folders anywhere on any hard drive that is connected to your Mac whether internal or external. I also use the Photoshop Photo Downloader that is included with Photoshop/Bridge and it will create the date folder so all I do is create a Year folder.
Open Bridge or click on the Bridge icon in PS and in the File menu item in Bridge select "Get photos from Camera". It can be a camera connected to your Mac or a memory card from a camera. A window will open and you then select the camera or memory card. Set the location they will be downloaded to, just the folder and you can Browse to a folder that you created, then in the "Create Subfolders drop down select what date stamp you want to use or or custom name or not to create subfolders at all.
I've never cared for iPhoto one bit. I tried it but found it way to restrictive. It likes to have full control over how you interact with your images.

I recorded 1 hour and 6 minutes of footage on my Kodak Zi8 Camera in WVGA mode. When I connect it to my Macbook Pro, the .MOV file that it creates is only 59 mintues. I can still view the full footage on the camera itself. I just can't export it. HELP!!!!

So it is cutting off the end at 59 minutes? How large is the file that is being exported? You may be running up against a file size limitation.

So what is meant here is spend more money - wrong answer.
For that reason most people prefer to buy movies on DVD. They are easily shared, foolproof, and super easy to use. I love Apple TV and iTunes for music and TV shows, but I would never purchase a movie that was not on an optical disc.
When I head out-of-town I can grab a couple of DVDs to watch on my new MacBook Pro during the flight. Easy and uncomplicated.
DVDs offer another advantage. You can watch your movie without depending upon a complicated and delicate infrastructure. Also, movies are frequently censored for political correctness (Star Wars is a recent example). Despite public pressure for a release, the Disney movie “Song of the South” remains banned. Even cartoons like Johnny Quest are now censored. Only people who purchased physical copies years ago have them as they were originally produced.
When you possess a physical copy of the movie the PC patrol can't mess with it.

Out put quality after DVD authoring is less than .mov file that fcp source

Anyone know why I would be getting a notable drop in quality after i make a dvd?
going from HF11 Cannon shot at 17 mbps into FCP. then out to compressor and using the high quality dvd setting.
then when i play my dvd i notice for example jaggies on some objects yet if i look at the .mov file that was ignested into FCP that has almost no jaggies. is there some setting i'm missing?
everything was set at 16:9 1080x720.
I'm up to my pits in information overload.
Someone with some idea or experience please help me out. thank you so much.

Here are some of your options as you look toward HD encoding.
Using Toast, Encore, or FCS 3 you can move toward blu-ray authoring and encoding. In Toast and FCS 3 you can make AVCHD disks which are blu-ray disks put onto single or dual-layer DVDs which is a huge cost savings. Your encoding is limited to 17 Mbps, but in h.264 that will still allow for decent quality. Encore will let you design a complete disk but it doesn't make AVCHD disks - you'll need to jump through some hoops in order to take an Encore project (but it can be done). Here's a workflow for that. As a side note this workflow is for using Final Cut Express - in FCS you have the added benefit of being able to work with 23.98 fps timelines.
Your other option it to move toward digital outputs. You can use something like an AppleTV to playback HD content (it'll be reduced to either 960x540 @ 30 fps or 1280x720 @ 24 fps. Or you can use one of the various media streams on that market now (SlingCatch, Western Digital WDTV, etc.) Personally I'm a big fan of the WDTV from Western Digital. It's affordable (around $100) and plays back all kinds of formats in HD up to 1080p. Plus it reads from flash drives or hard drives via USB. You can encode MP4 files for these types of devices in QuickTime, export from FCP, MPEG Streamclip, Compressor, etc.

Movie freezes on the .mov file

Sorry if this problem has been addressed before, but I didn't see it in the first 10 pages or so of the discussions.
I have iMovie HD 5.0. I created an iMovie project, using a combination of photos and .mov files. The file played well in iMovie, and I was even able to burn the project to a DVD with iDVD. However, when I try to play the DVD, either on my DVD player for TV, or the one on my computer, the movie freezes and won't go any farther when it gets to the first .mov file. The only thing I can do is stop the DVD at that point.
The .mov files I'm using were done with my digital camera, which can take both still shots and small video clips.
I thought this was a simple process, because I've been successful before. The difference this time, however, is that I'm using .mov files from my digital camera instead of .avi files from the digital video camera. I suspect the issue lies with the .mov files, but don't know how to fix it. Help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes, a 1 G movie is way too big for a web site. How did you create the movie? Have you looked into ways to reduce it's size. Quicktime Player can reduce a movie's size to meet several criteria as shown in the File->Export for Web settings window:
Click to view full size
That can reduce it somewhat. If you bring the movie into iMovie you can export it to a MobileMe gallery in multiple sizes to fit the viewer's internet connection speed and device.
Click to view full size
The resulting gallery can be inserted into a web page using iFrame code and an HTML snippet as in this demo page: Adding a MMe Gallery from iMovie 09. This is predicated on you having a MobileMe account where you're hosting the site.
A way to add the movie to a page and have the page load fully without having to have the movie load are demonstrated here:
Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window
QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player
Still another alternative would be to convert the movie to flash and use that. Flash conversions are generally much smaller than Quicktime files. You can learn more about that at:
http://roddymckay.com/VisualMedia/FlashVideo.html
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWeb_Movies.html
The bottom line is: 1 GB is way too large.

I'm creating an epk and I need to add a bio to the menu. Can I import the text file or do I need to retype the bio somewhere? What is the best way to proceed?

I'm creating an epk and I need to add a bio to the menu. Can I import the text file or do I need to retype the bio somewhere? What is the best way to proceed?

Electronic Press Kit.
Usually in the form of video outtakes, movie trailers, cast and crew interviews. Basically, the stuff that gets bunged onto commercial DVDs as extras or ends up on late night TV "Making Of..." shows.
To answer the OP, you want a button on the menu that leads to a still image, or series of them, set up as a slide show. You can copy/paste the text in DVD Studio and then add formatting via the Text menu. (Highlight the text and right click to access formatting controls). Or do it in a graphics application using the appropriate video image preset.
