DVD question/help

I am still pretty new to a mac. I produced a photo DVD with music and fades on my PC. I burned it to a DVD and it will play in any dvd player and i can watch it on my mac. Here is my question. Can i use final cut express to rip in the slide show i created so i can save it and post it on the web? if final cut express can't do this.. what is the program of choice. (none of the pictures or music are copywright protected)
Thanks!

look into either DVDxDV or MPEG Streamclip to convert the DVD's VOB files into DV.
DVDxDV is a standalone app but costs. MPEG Streamclip is free requires you to have Apple's mpeg plugin installed.

First Video Export to DVD Question

Hi - I have my first ever video export from Premiere to a DVD and I'm a little nervous about it. My footage will be shot with the Panasonic ACHD (I think that's the model as I don't have the camera with me here) and the camera is set for 1280 x 720 at 24 FPS.
I was looking through the export settings in Premiere CS4 and found the MPEG-DVD and MPEG Blue Ray settings. When I select MPEG-DVD, I notice that two vertical bars are in each end of the output; when I select MPEG Blue Ray, there's a setting in there that makes those bars go away and the picture fits the dimensions perfectly, so it looks like I can use those settings.
My question is - after I export this file, how do I actually get it on the DVD disk? Should I export it like above and then use Adobe Encore to burn the disk? Or is there some other method?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Your original file is HiDef, a DVD is Standard Def at 720x480 so you will see a difference from original to DVD
You may not use BluRay files on a DVD... see above
You use PPro for editing, Encore for authoring... reading below

Thanks again
If you're trying to import a movie from a DVD from your personal collection, this isn't supported by iTunes. DVDs are copyrighted materials, so they can't be imported. If you have a video file already on your computer, you should be able to use the article above to add it to your library, so long as it's a compatible video format. One of the FAQs lists the playable formats as:
iTunes:
* Video content purchased from the iTunes Store.
* QuickTime and MPEG-4 movie files that end in ".mov", ".m4v", or ".mp4" and are playable in QuickTime Player.
* Video podcasts.

I copied a lot of photos from an iphone to a DVD using a Windows 7 laptop, now I cannot access those photos on the DVD. HELP!

I copied a lot of photos from an iphone to a DVD using a Windows 7 laptop, now I cannot access those photos on the DVD. HELP! In Windows Exlporer I can see the data on the disk in the details but when I click on it nothing appears as if there is nothing on it.

It should. So they aren't shown in the Last Import smart album, right? Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

I forget security question, help me recover?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!

About Java 2 opaque font color question, help needed!
I was trying to test opaque font (the string has a foreground color and a background color), but i can't find the method for doing that.
i can change foreground by Graphics2D.setPaint(Color.black).
Anybody know how to change the background of the string?
Thanks!

Hi. The way I'd do it would be to use the font metrics to find the length of a string and draw a rectangle and then drawstring over the rectangle. If you want an example, I can post it although I suspect theres a better way.

If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within, I think, about 24 to 48 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox)

It sounds like the superdrive is bad. The only other thing you can do is try to put it back in again. Some times the 3rd time works. None the less it will need to be replaced.

DVD Question...please help

This may be a really silly question but... how can I play a regular DVD in quicktime. I downloaded the player in hopes I could watch my DVD's on it but now when I load a DVD nothing happens. Any ideas?
Thanx

I'd suggest just using the DVD Player.app or VideoLan.app for DVDs.
QT Player can open the VOBs in the DVD if the MPEG2 PB component is installed. But the QT Player can open just separate VOBs, it can't play PCM or AC3 audio and it distorts and displays interlacing in PAL so it isn't very good.
Another alternative is to view the DVD via MPEG Streamclip. It can open the related VOBs all at once and it can play PCM and AC3 audio. It has very handy navigation options via the keyboard or via the GUI. It doesn't currently have an option for deinterlaced playback.

DVD Error (help!)

hallo. the reason i am writing today is because i am getting the following error message when i insert a dvd that i just rented from my local retailer:
"You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OS X can read. To continue with the disk inserted, click ignore."
i don't understand why this is coming up all of a sudden. i just played a few other dvd's last weekend and nothing bad at all happened. my retail cd's play nicely in the drive, i also have no problems playing burned cd-r's, and no problems burning them in itunes. as this isn't a superdrive (i have a combo), i cannot burn dvd's, so this isn't related to burning--only playing.
normally when i insert a dvd, the player automatically comes up and starts playing, per my system preferences (which i've checked and they are still the same). now it isn't launching at all. when i manually launch the player, everything about it is fine, but it doesn't "see" that there is a dvd inserted in the drive.
i thought that maybe it was because it was the wrong region coding, but the dvd i'm trying to watch is region 1. then i thought it was because it was dirty, but when cleaned the same thing happens. then i tried playing a dvd of my own that i know should work because i've watched it a million times w/o any problems, and i get the same message (my dvd's are kept crystal clean).
i am using a 12" powerbook g4 with (now) os x 10.3.9 (just upgraded this morning--was prev. using 10.3.4 i think???). in the system profiler under "ata" it's reading that there is a matshita cd-rw cw-8123 drive, and under "drive type" is "cd-rw/dvd-rom" so i don't see anything wrong.
i don't know if this has anything to do with anything, but the other day i updated my version of itunes to ver 6.0.2 using the system updater, tried to upgrade to quicktime 7 (the freebie on the apple website) but it said that it wouldn't mount (???) so i threw it away (i think it was because it requires 10.3.9 which i hadn't updated to yet), added disk utility to the dock so my roommate could deal with her cd-rw's (previous to this week my computer had only burned cd-r's), and downloaded macscan from securemac.com.
other than quicktime, i had not encountered any problems of any kind during the installations and updates. then last night i tried playing the dvd and it wouldn't play due to the error above. i thought that maybe something got lost during the updates so i upgraded to 10.3.9 and that didn't help. then i upgraded to itunes 6.0.3 thinking that maybe something in the previous itunes upgrade killed my dvd drivers while they were asleep (itunes has been know to do things like that, you know!) and that didn't work. (can't say i'm totally surprised, it was a little far fetched...but itunes is pretty vicious.)
now i'm plumb out of ideas. does anyone have any suggestions? has anyone else encountered this before? i'm really hoping to have my question answered here, as i'm sick with the flu and don't have the energy to call apple or run all over town trying to get this fixed. if somebody has a fix for this here, i'd really appreicate it. cheers all. kj.

Hey Kristov,
Reload OS X 10.4 from disc using the "archive and install" option. It will force you to choose between that and "erase and install," anyway. Repair disc permissions. Update all your software, but avoid the OS X 10.4.5 Combo update. Go to "Downloads" and get the update to OS X 10.4.4. Repair disc permissions again. Get the OS X 10.4.5 update and, again, repair disc permissions. Everything should work just fine after that. It may be that you can abbreviate the process I described, but after reading a bunch of posts both here, on Macfixit, and on Macintouch, I decided it was the only way to ensure the problem didn't recur. In fact, although I doubt it made a difference, I repaired disc permissions both after each download and after each subsequent restart to finish update installation. In any case, I now have all the latest updates and my machine is working better than ever, no kidding, including DVD Player.
Good Luck,
Jonathan
