Dvd conversion for Mac users

So I'm finding a lot of advice for transfering dvds to iPods for PC users- videora etc. What about us Mac users? How can we to transfer DVDs to our iPods from a Mac?

As I stated the last time you asked -- HandBrake (free). This is an "all-in-one" application.
Forty-TwoDVD-VXPlus ($$) -- this is a two-stage application in that material must be ripped/extracted by another application (like MacTheRipper) first.
Most other approaches currently available for the Mac (i.e., pre-iPod) require three separate stages -- rip/extract, strip/convert to intemediate format, and final conversion to iPod compatible format.

  • I would like to suggest a Verizon-specific forum for Mac-users

    Verizon is the largest provider of wireless and other related solutions. When I have problems with my Mac or supporting services I am consistently able to find solutions on either the Mac or Verizon forums. However, this takes quite a bit of effort to locate the right answer for my problem. And, this takes a lot of time.
    I would like to harness solutions for Mac-users who are Verizon customers all in one place. This could make it easier for Mac-users to get quick answers. This could also be a great referral point for Verizon as it sorts out answers/solutions for Mac users.
    Currently, Verizon hears from less than .05% of its customers that there are any issues of compatibility, less access to great services, needs for solutions for Mac. However Mac users represent at least 20% of computer users around the US. On the one hand you can infer that there are issues with less than .05% of the Mac universe or, on the other hand, you can infer that many just don't go to Verizon for the solutions.
    I am not sure which is right. I just know that having solutions in one place, my Mac home, would be useful. I hope you will consider the idea.
    I do realize no forums are dedicated to any one provider. However, Verizon, again, is the biggest provider. Maybe this is worthy of a forum.

  • Trouble with forms not fuctioning for Mac users

    I have created a form in LC Designer that works great on PC, but doesn't work on on Mac. Or rather doesn't work on all Mac machines.  I have tested the form on two different Mac machines in my office and it seems to work fine.  However, those outside the office are not able to save the completed form or allow the user to use the email submit button.  Is there something I can do to make this user-friendly for Mac users?

    The email button function is the least of the issues.  The fonts and type size are altered, parts of the form drop out and the form fields appear to be blank until you click on them.  Upon click the information then appears.  It's really very odd. 
    Additionally, they can not save the form to their desktop.  I thought that this was me forgetting to enable user rights, but that was not the case.  At the moment, Mac users can only print the form and fax it.
    Thanks,

  • No Wimbledon for Mac users

    I would have liked to watch the Wimbledon finals on my computer, but according to their site Apple computers are not supported "due to the digital rights management and sharing technology used".
    http://wimbledon.mediazone.com/US/subscribe.html
    http://img.skitch.com/20080705-dj5mu9mn985trq6f4pn3bufhba.jpg
    I don't know what they're referring to exactly, and honestly I don't really care.
    But I'm tired of things being unavailable for Mac users. Apple, what are you doing about it??
    thanks,
    Liz

    You can view them by paying a subscription. They use the WMV format (bless 'em!) so you will need Flip4Mac WMV Player from... On Wimbledon.com's subscription page, they specifically tell Mac users that they are not supported.
    Unfortunately, it appears they will not be supported on a Mac under OS X. According to a comment on the UK site, it appears viewing will require VMV 10/11 which leaves out Mac users whose Flip4Mac support only extends as high as WMV 9. However, all of the "archives" and "free" material seems to be encoded with WMV 9 and is still accessible.
    That's where Apple needs to be on the ball and if there is an easy solution, make sure that the folks at Wimbledon.com know about it, and that they make it available to their subscribers.
    What you seem to fail to realize is the fact that WMV DRM and Apple's DRM are mutually incompatible and in direct competition with one another other. Further, you seem to think it is Apple's responsibility to initiate and organize "a commission on standards compliance." I hate to break the news, but as already been pointed out above, Apple compression formats, in almost every case, adhere to open standards already agreed upon by the ISO/IEC Moving Pictures Expert Group. It is the proprietary software developers which add their own enhancements, "improvements", and/or mix/merge various profiles/features/capabilities that you must convince to adhere to the already established standards.
    I can't take electronic books, videos, or music out of my local library because I have a Mac, and they use OverDrive. Can you honestly tell me that's not Apple's problem?
    How is it Apple's problem that the Libraries also opted to use WMV and its DRM over Apple's? Further, if you check out what the Overdrive Console is in actuality, you will find it is simply management software which performs the same functions as Apple's iTunes -- i.e., the prevention of unauthorized burning or distribution of DMR files, the timely forced expiration of "overdue" content, and the selection, access, and management of Library System media. Let's face it, in many ways Microsoft's DRM capabilities are more business oriented where Apple is more home entertainment/personal user oriented. I can't say that I really blame business oriented, "bottom line" sites for selecting one over the other here.
    I don't deny that there is a workaround and that with some knowledge, you can make it work,
    The only real workaround I see here is to have a Mac Intel system with functioning Windows XP, Vista, or similar Windows OS that supports WMV Player v10 or v11. Since I really don't care about viewing any of the sites or content that you seem to feel are so important, this is not a "hot issue" for me one way are the other.

  • Is iphoto free to download for mac users?

  • Pcsuite for N82 for mac-user

    does anyone know where to download pcsuite for n82 for mac user?

    grrr.... with the number of people how have asked this exact question since i first bought my nokia phone a year ago, you'd think nokia would emblazen across their homepage, "MAC USERS you don't need PCSUITE, you need Nokia Multimedia Transfer"
    but they dont. so i don't blame you for asking.
    1. psychomania is right, albeit a bit abrupt: there is no PCSuite for the mac.
    2. abrupt? yes. because there is an alternative software 'suite' for you: the combination of iSync and nokia's own 'Nokia Multimedia Transfer'. that's the short answer i would like to have seen posted as the first response to your query. go here:
    http://europe.nokia.com/A4423133
    that's nokia's MAC software page. download the iSync plugin for your phone and the Nok...Mult...Transfer (lets call it NMT, shall we?) program.
    3. the LONG answer. while some people complain (habitually) that nokia doesn't properly support the mac, etc etc, i can think of nothing truly missing from the iSync+NMT combo. with this combo you get:
    * iPhoto integration (including automatically copying scaled copies of photos back to your phone post transfer to the MAC)
    * iTunes integration - including album art if you have it (sadly, this seems to only work for AAC files, but since this codec was DESIGNED to REPLACE mp3, and chances are you have mp3 now, converting to this format is generally a Good Thing)
    * Address Book integration - yup, with all the numbers, notes and even contact photos intact
    * iCal integration - todos, anniversaries, you get the idea
    * Safari bookmark sync - either sync the phone to a specific folder in safari, or add all of safari's bookmarks to the phone, or both
    so, what's missing? automatic sync when bluetooth comes in range? does pcsuite do this? (honestly, i don't know). my mac does. it's not part of the software listed above, but you can do it. i've got mine setup with 'Salling Clicker' to automatically run iSync when i'm in range up to twice a day. salling clicker isn't free, but it works across a large range of phones and computers (even runs on windows). i bought it 4 cell phones ago, back when i was a sony ericsson guy. i highly suggest you consider using it - even if you switch to windows and windows mobile somewhere down the line you'll be glad to have a license for this app handy (think: wireless remote control for every app in my computer, including actions when my phone rings like muting the music i'm blasting so i can hear the thing ring)
    good luck, and i hope you enjoyed my little rant,
    -bit
    N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)
    (N95 was pretty good, N97 had potential but utterly failed to deliver, N900 is absurdly good. Those of you wondering, "should I try N900/Maemo/MeeGo"? The answer is a resounding YES)

  • Instructions for Mac users?

    Hello,
    Are there step-by-step instructions available for Mac users filling out my form?  Not everyone using the form is super techy, and people are still using Preview to fill out the form even after downloading the Adobe software because it's  what automatically pops up.  Because I use a PC, I don't know how to walk them through making sure they open and save the form using Adobe.  Is there something out there that details how Mac users can open the form using Adobe and not Preview?  I'd love to put instructions on our website now instead of waiting for more frustrated phone calls from people whose forms saved blank!
    Thanks!

    The issue usually is that PDF-s open in Acrobat/Acrobat Reader not in Preview, and the user can't use the features offered by Preview. In both cases the solution is to right click on the file and manually choose the app/program in which you want it to be opened. (Using Open in... feature) Of course, the Acrobat/Reader has to be installed not just downloaded.
    I hope this helps.

  • Is photoshop great for stocking pictures for MAC users?

    hi all, i am a mac user getting tired of iphoto. thinkin about replacing with photoshop or aperture. what do you think? how is photoshop to stock pictures?
    thanks

    >i am a mac user getting tired of iphoto. thinkin about replacing with photoshop or aperture. what do you think? how is photoshop to stock pictures?
    By all means, if your Mac hardware is strong enough give Aperture a trial. It absolutely rocks for the new killer-app category of DSLR image capture management. Lightroom is another choice, but IMO most appropriate only for folks with non-MacIntel hardware. Both are far superior to Photoshop for image capture management, especially for anyone who has not already gone through Photoshop's very heavy learning curve.
    I find that Aperture indeed 100% replaces iPhoto; however some iPhoto-experienced folks do keep iPhoto partially involved in their Aperture workflow.
    If you are not currently a Photoshop user I recommend the combination of Aperture for the all-important image capture management and RAW conversion, plus (inexpensive) Adobe Photoshop Elements v6 for those few times when heavier image editing, adding text, etc. is desired. For full professional graphics art work Adobe's very expensive Creative Suite series becomes appropriate, but your post did not seem to lead there.
    Step one with Aperture is to have at least 3-4 GB RAM on a MacIntel box. After adequate RAM is on board do the Aperture trial, and I strongly recommend that every digital photog with adequate computer hardware first spend $33 and work through the tutorial CD
    i Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 2 (Apple Pro Training Series) by Ben Long, Richard Harrington, and Orlando Luna (Paperback - May 8, 2008), Amazon.com.
    Note that the value is in the tutorial, not in using the book as a manual. The time spent learning modern digital image capture workflow via the tutorial is invaluable,
    i nothing
    like the old days of Cumulus, Portfolio and iView Media Pro.
    IMO a cursory examination of Aperture usually turns out to be mostly a waste of time, or leads to bad workflow habits or folks simply do not get it. Carefully working the tutorial is by far the best way to learn this new killer app category.
    Good luck!
