DVD to Quicktime format?

Hello -
I am new to Quicktime - I would like to know if I can convert a home-made DVD to Quicktime format using Quicktime Pro (before I purchase it).
Thanks,
Bonnie

Thanks for your reply. Just to make sure I understand, you're saying that first I must use one of the programs you mentioned (or comparable one), before I can convert the DVD to Quicktime format?
My goal is to convert to Quicktime format.
Did I understand you correctly?
Thanks,
Bonnie

  • Apple burned dvd to quicktime format

    someone gave me a dvd origionally created in imovie, then burned from idvd.
    how do i make that dvd into a quicktime format.
    I tried dvd extractor and only extracted video, not audio
    any ideas?
    thanks

    If the creator can't send you the original (.dv) format you'll need some other tools.
    Since DVD format is MPEG 2, you'll need to pony up $20 for the Apple MPEG-2 Playback Component.
    Use it and the free MPEG Streamclip application to "export" the DVD contents back to the, editable, DV Stream (.dv) format.
    This new .dv file can be opened and edited in iMovie or QuickTime Pro.

  • How do I convert DVD to quicktime format?

    We shoot HS Football games on a Canon HD camera - they are edited down to about 10 minutes each and processed as DVD. I would like to upload the video to mediafire in QT.
    How do I convert? or what do I need?

    Handbreak is definitely the best way. It is free and they have lots of presets to choose from. The downside is the conversion usually takes realtime unless you have a powerhouse desktop powermac.

  • IDVD, the Quicktime format and 16:9

    Hi,
    I´ve got a problem with widescreen format and Mac. I´ve edited about 10 short clips with Premiere Pro CS3 on a PC, but when it came to authoring the DVD found I no software for the PC that could handle 16:9 and 5.1 well. I´ve now moved the videos to my friends Macbook Pro and try to author a DVD with iDVD6.
    I noticed that my problem was a common one; iDVD shows 16:9 material as 4:3 in preview (haven´t burned anything yet). Then I noticed that even when I play the video files on the Macbook, before even touching iDVD, they´re played in 4:3! On my PC, after being exported from Premiere Pro, they´re played as 16:9 (because they are 16:9!), but as soon as I move them to Macbook they´re played as 4:3.
    Here´s the settings I used to export the files in Premiere Pro CS3:
    File type : Microsoft DV
    Compressor : DV - PAL
    Frame Size : 720h 576 v 16:9
    Frame Rate 25,00 fps
    Pixel Aspect Ratio : D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.422)
    Channels : 5.1
    You see, the files are clearly 16:9 and they DO look weird when played on Macbook. I´m sure if I could figure out how to make Macbook/Quicktime player realise these are 16:9 videos, they would look correct in iDVD as well.
    Any ideas?
    Despite some problems, I really start to like the Mac.
    P.S. If I export with the same settings, but change file type to Quicktime:
    File type : Quicktime
    Compressor : DV - PAL
    Frame Size : 720h 576 v 16:9
    Frame Rate 25,00 fps
    Pixel Aspect Ratio : D1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9 (1.422)
    Channels : 5.1
    I get a nice Quicktime file - in 4:3! What is the problem here, there´s plenty of settings showing that the export will be done in 16:9, but still the Quicktime format makes the final file a 4:3?

    abrotherus,
    Your files are anamorphic 16:9 (16:9 content squeezed down into the 4:3 standard definition format). The files need to have the 4:3/16:9 'flag' set correctly in the file format to be recognized as 16:9 by iDVD.
    One way to correct the files is to use Anamorphicizer which can be found at: http://homepage.mac.com/sith33/FileSharing34.html

  • How to play DVDs in Quicktime Pro

    I recently purchased QT, and QTPro. I was trying to transfer DVDs to my 60GB Video ipod, but I cannot even open any movie in Quicktime. Now my goal is just to get a DVD to play in quicktime. I choose file->open file, and select the drive my video is in, and there are three folders, JACKET_P, VIDEO_TS, AUDIO_TS, and the only one with anything in it is the VIDEO, but I open it and nothing is listed unless I change the "files of type" (prompt on bottom of open dialog box)from movies to all files. When all files are listed, I get a bunch of VTS_## files (and they are either VOB or BUP type), and a VIDEO_TS file, and it is an IFO file. If I choose the last one, I get the error message -2048: the file is not a movie file, and the same happens for all the files. I hope you can shed some light on my problem. [QTPro is registered, my PC does meet all the requirements, and I have tried numerous DVDs. If I right-click on the movie in windows explorer, and choose properties, then autoplay, I am given the option of what I would like to use to autoplay the movie. QT is not listed, nor can I browse.]

    I don't think I've seen Apple or anyone else advertises QuickTime as being able to play DVDs, so I'm not sure why you assumed that it would. To answer the original posters question, I'm not particularly familiar with how to do it under Windows, but it is most certainly possible to convert video from DVDs to a format that can be played on the iPod. There are several tutorials around the web that will tell you how to do it step-by-step.
    (BTW, Apple has this to say about DVD playback in QuickTime:
    "Can the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component play back DVDs?
    The MPEG-2 Playback Component can play back MPEG-2 files on non-encrypted DVDs. Professionally produced, commercial DVDs (such as Hollywood movies) are usually encrypted with special anti-piracy software, called Content Scramble System (CSS). In order to view these DVDs, decryption software is required and is included in DVD players. But decryption software is not included in QuickTime or the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component.")

  • Playing dvds with quicktime

    i just purchased the component to quicktime that allows me to play DVDs on quicktime but i still cant get my dvds to play in quicktime. when i put the dvd into my computer it doesnt open up with quicktime and when i look at the differnt files there are so many different video files on the dvd and none of them open up with quicktime. how do i get my dvds to play in quicktime now that i downloaded the mpeg2 player for quicktime?

    Even though it is not encrpypted it could still be in transport_stream format and the component will not play it. Try this freeware. The Mac version will play transport_stream, so maybe the new Windows version will also. Mpeg StreamClip

  • Can you create a DVD with quicktime to be watched on a TV's DVD Player?

    Basic question before I buy quicktimepro for a iMac. I want to export slideshows I've created via iphoto for folks to watch on their DVD connected to a TV. What format is that and does quicktimepro export to that format?
    Thanks!

    Beat you by a minute.
    Nearly any QuickTime format (not playback only or third party) can be converted by iDVD.

  • HDV into DVD SP " Incompatible format"

    I'm having problems getting my HDV project into DVD pro. The film was shot in HDV and exported as a quicktime movie. I sent it to compressor and ended up with these specs once it compressed.
    1920x1080 codecs: H.264. integer ( Big Endian), Duration 44:41 Total bit rate 11,320
    DVD SPsays "Incompatible format". Is there anything I can do or should I convert it to SD?
    Thanks!
    Michael

    Yes, Thanks Studio X. I used the preset in compressor for HDV H.264. Since I shot this in HDV I would prefer to have the final product in HDV. It seems others are having problems importing HDV into DVD SP. I was hoping for a simple explaination Ha Ha!

  • Any camcorders that save video in QuickTime format?

    I love the QuickTime .MOV format and it is far superior to Windows Media stuff on the PC. I would like to buy a very simple camcorder that will save the video on a memory card or something. So that when I pull these video clips into iTunes or QuickTime, I won't have to do any converting of file formats.
    Can someone suggest a little recorder that will do this? I don't need one with lots of bells and whistles.
    Thanks.

    Most modern video cameras record to DV Stream (onto tape). These files are brought into iMovie, edited and exported to QuickTime formats. Some record to DVD disc as MPEG-2 format which do not (easily) allow any editing but play back on your computer or through a set top box.
    Most newer digital cameras also allow recording of short video clips. Dozens of formats and some that are hard to edit on a Mac. May use the ancient .avi container and many also only work on PC's.
    For iMovie editing or importing for conversion you want a camera that includes a Firewire connection. Lots of different names (Sony calls it iLink).
    You really don't want a camera that does the compression to a format for you. You want the "raw" file so you can edit and then convert without losing quality.
    Any iSight camera can also be used with QuickTime Pro to record to .mov format. If you own an iSight you need only move up to QT Pro ($30).

  • I have my iMovies in QuickTime format on an external drive. Is there anyway to show them from the external drive without putting them into iTunes?

    I havei my personal iMovies in QuickTime format on an external drive. I prefer not to have to import them into my iTunes library which is nearly 1GB already. Is there any way to play them from my MacBook Pro through Apple TV 2 without importing them into iTunes?

    Just wanted to add a little to the excellent comments from those above... I have debated on adding the content to iTunes or just accessing the content through some folder structure.
    What has worked best for me and my family:
    use VideoDrive - http://www.aroona.net/VideoDrive/Home.html to import the videos/tvshows into iTunes and make them in the correct format for my iPad/iPhone/AppleTV devices in the house. This software is cheap and excellent and make the adding of content to iTunes (i everything) easy!
    I store my videos on a usb 2tb drive and my tvshows on a different usb 2tb drive. And I swap a drive out every year or so and give old drive away to family/friends. That way my media drives are new(ish) and 1 drive is never older than 2 years.
    for media that I don't want to add to iTunes I still use AirVideo as it is an excellent piece of software. I also use AirVideo to allow me to access content on my home network over the internet.
    my "media server" is a simple 4 year old intel mac mini with 1 gig of ram best $700 I spent when I first flipped to all things mac. Family now have 2 mbp's, 2 iPads, 4 iphones and 1atv (2nd gen)
    I'm working on a document that shows how I did my setup - if you want to read more please feel free to download my preview - https://files.me.com/lee.gaupp/aq0gst

  • Can't get Movie Exported in Quicktime format to work in iWeb and Website

    Help!! I just completed a movie in iMovie and exported it in Quicktime Format. It loads into iWeb seamlessly, and I can view it in iweb, but once I save the files to a folder and then the folder to my host (Godaddy, for what it is worth) I get the Blue Quicktime Q with the question mark in the middle. I have downloadd the movie in different sizes, from as much as 19 Mb down to 4.5 Mb and it is all the same. It is for a real estate listing I have. For what it is worth. I created my first website in iweb 1.0 and imovie 06 (http:www.1055Prince.info) and it works great. I created my second website with iweb 2.0 and imovie 08 (http:www.1045Prince.info) and it will not work. I like the design of the 2.0 template better, but I like the fact that the 1.0 template is working flawlessly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    iWeb writes very clever page code and your page had a very common error.
    http://www.1045prince.info/VideoTour_files/VideoTour.js is a file created by iWeb that points to your QuickTime file.
    If you use the Finder to edit the name prior to Publishing in iWeb things will be just fine and the link will work as designed. Do not edit any file name before uploading to your server and make sure your files use "Web safe" naming schemes (no spaces, punctuation or illegal characters) and the proper file extension.

  • IPod Classic 160GB film library sync problem -  trying to sync films that have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store - all other libraries sync perfect - why?

    Hello Apple and the iTunes Windows PC users community.
    I am trying to sync films that I have converted from purchased DVD to mp4 format locally, not purchases from the online store. The mp4s all appear and play successfully in my iTunes application but will not sync across to the iPod film library folder.
    For your information: I am using iTunes 11.1.3.8 on a Windows 7 64bit machine with 500GB hard disk and 8GB of Ram in the UK.
    I have restored the iPod classic 160GB three times now to see if it was a hardware problem with no joy. Each time all the music restores properly as do the podcasts and all the items in TV programmes all appear to sync and work fine.
    I have also tried to copy films into the TV Programmes to get around it with no joy. They always go to the films section to start with. It is just the Films library that does not sync - all others work perfectly. As a last resort I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes with no joy either.
    I am technically savvy and have gone through the itunes and ipod settings but nothing appears to make a difference - This is the first time I have had to post here as I can usually solve the majority of the ipod anomilies but this one has me flummoxed.
    Has the film encoding type changed in the newest itunes update? - Has this happened to anybody else and is it a hardware, software, or operating system problem.

    Having uninstalled the current version 11.1.3.8 and loaded and older version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 I can now categorically confirm that the newest update seems to be causing the problem as the films and TV Programmes are syncing perfectly on this older version.
    If you are going to do this please dont forget to remove the  ' iTunes Library.itl' file as this stops the older versions from running as I've just found out

  • How do I rip a dvd to other formats?

    How do I rip a dvd to other formats so that I can store them on my networked hard drive and stream them around the house?

    HandBrake will do it for you.

  • TS1424 Some but not all of my purchases from iTunes store (TV shows) have been downloading in a Quicktime format that can't be viewed via iTunes or on apple TV (1st gen).  I get error message when I try to convert.

    Since I have a new iMac and now use Mountain Lion, I am observing that TV shows purchased in iTunes sometimes download in a Quicktime format that will not open in iTunes.  In some but not all cases, I right click "open in" and select iTunes and then it will play.  However, this doesn't always work.  When I open in Quicktime and try to export to iTunes, that won't work.  When I try Wundershare's Video conversation program, it won't even accept the file.  What's going on here?  Any ideas?  Please reply [email protected] with any suggestions.
    Kathy

    Thanks for the help Ricky.
    I did put my iPod into DFU and iTunes recognized it in restore mode. After restore I am back where I was before - iTunes cannot connect because of an unknown error.
    I have installed Jailbreak to see if I can bypass itunes but haven't succeeded. I can't get my computer to recopgnize the iPod as a device.
    I'll take it to a Genius bar next time I am in the area of one. Until then I'll probably continue to try hacks to get it connected.

  • How to play a DVD in QuickTime  first of many questions

    Hi, can someone please explain how to play a movie from DVD in QuickTime.
    I go to "Ablage" (don't know english word for that) -> open file -> klick on some *.VOB and klick play. But the Movie is very slow and I have no sound.

    I also can open *.VOBs from my HD with QuickTime and convert them. They just have no sound and also I can't trimm them in QuickTime.
    Since you already have the MPEG2 component, recommend you simply download the free MPEG Streamclip application. It can also load/convert single VOB or entire Title VOB series and allows you to trim, adjust volume, brightness, contrast, and/or saturation levels as well. Quite a handy application whether used alone or in conjunction with QT Pro filters and/or preset options.
