Dvd ripper on a macbook

Is getting a dvd ripper the only way to get dvd content into my macbook to edit in imovie?

Presuming these DVDs are not commercially-released movies which are copy-protected, there are a number of utilities that can extract and convert the videos for use in editing applications. A couple of utilities that people have reported success with are DVDxDV,  Cinematize, and MPEG Streamclip (MPEG Streamclip is freeware but requires that you have Apple's QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component),  and there are no doubt others.
Regards.

    How do I configure a Pioneer DVR-XD10 external dvd writer to my macbook pro laptop?
    I read online that you could use an external dvd writer on a macbook pro when the internal dvd writer died.
    Please help?
    It shows power running through the external dvd writer when I plug in the two usb ends into the respective ports, but it doesn't recognize it when I try to write media to a DVD.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!

    If you have not already done so, your chances will really improve if you....
    1) Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
    2) Download and install Bonjour Print Services for Windows on the PC

    Why did Apple get rid of the DVD slot in the MacBook Pro?

    Because relatively few people used it and Apple wanted to decrease the size/price of the computers.

  • I want to use my home dvd player to burn dvds/cds onto my MacBook Air. Please help!?

    I want to use my home dvd player to burn dvds/cds onto my MacBook Air. I have an hdmi cord with thunderbolt connector. Where do I go from here?

    Apps for OSX aren't in iTunes: they are in the App Store in your Applications folder. The payment method is the one registered in iTunes. There's no app actually called Yoga Studio, though there are several Yoga apps. There is an iOS app called Yoga Studio but it appears to have no OSX equivalent, though I haven't done a detailed search.

  • Best CLI DVD ripper IYO?

    What's the best CLI DVD ripper IYO?
    There are quite a few options as far as ripping a DVD from the commandline goes; there's burn, the python script, or dvd-backup, another decent command line utility, or the script on the wiki for use with mplayer's mencoder.
    I'm looking for opinions as to which is the best, or alternatively, why you like the one you've got. Being a CLI-fanatic, I want the best ripper I can run in a terminal, with the lowest number of dependencies possible, and preferably no gui at all (i.e. not mencoder, which requires you to have mplayer installed) :cry:
    Your thoughts?

    shadowhand wrote:Two questions about dumping DVDs: Can you loopmount the dump? And if so, can you rip the loopmount?  :shock:
    You can loopmount it with mount -o loop movie.img. But why would you want to? You can play them with mplayer -dvd-device movie.img dvd:// or set the dvd device node of your favorite multimedia player to movie.img.
    As for the second question: I'm not entirely sure. There'll probably some dvd rippers that can rip from an image. I also know that FreeBSD has a program (vndconfig?) that can create a device node that points at the image. I'm not sure Linux can do something like that. But again: why would you want to?

    I Am unable to insert a DVD/CD into my MacBook Pro. How do I overcome this?

    Are you certain that there is nothing inside such as a mini DVD?  Does the DVD drive appear dead?  You may have to have it examined at an Apple store genius bar.

    can I install the leopard dvd even if my macbook doesn't have a dvd drive?
    I am unsure if I should buy the dvd

    All Macbooks shipped with drives that read DVDs.
    If you want to install Leopard and your drive is broken, you will need to use an external drive or a disc image on an external hard drive.

    I'm not sure how this is an iTunes issue, but anyway, other than buying the apps from the Mac App Store (note that iDVD and iWeb are not available via the App Store), the only alternative is to call Apple support and give them the serial number of your Mac. They can usually sell you a new disk set for a reasonable fee.

  • Why can't I burn a dvd disc on my macBook pro ?

    I transferred some video footage to "iMovie' for editing and when I tried to burn it to a dvd disc, there was no option for that operation. All of the choices were to transfer it to You Tube, of facebook.Can I burn a dvd disc on my macBook pro laptop or not?

    If you have a macbook with internal or USB external Superdrive, insert disk, and an option appears for burning files.
    Otherwise drop the movie into a folder and click on the settings button of the folder and choose "burn .......to disk"

  • DVD ripper software recommendations for OS 10.4

    Having a heck of a time trying to rip a dvd of a performance of mine, so there is no copyright issue here.  Tried Mac the Ripper, didn't work (kept quitting).  Also heard of Handbrake and DVD Ripper.  Can't seem to find a version that will run with OS 10.4.11.  These products are either unavailable or are updated and won't work on my Mac.  I've thought of upgrading to 10.5, but that's hard to find as well, and costs an arm and a leg through other people.  Apple doesn't seem to even have that as a basic download anymore.  HELP!  Any suggestions on what I can do to rip my DVD onto my hard drive so I can edit?

    Please be aware that Fair Use, the doctrine that allows the back-up of your DVD/CDs for personal is not currently legally accepted in the UK and many countries outside of the US.
    Hence, here it is illegal to copy DVD's to any format and circumventing the copy protection is a breach of the copyright owners rights.
    Whilst I accept that copying is inevitable (you thieving bast*rds...!), please keep discussion away from any information about breaking DRM etc, as we will not allow the forums to be used for discussion of illegal activities.
    Mac DVD Ripper is very good and is my primary ripper. I also have RipIt which is pretty good too. MDRP is often discounted to around $35 and has been worth it for me.
    It seems well supported and is updated frequently. Nothing bad to say about RipIt, but it does have less options.
    Thanks.
