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.

Play dvd or quicktime video spread over multiple monitors

Okay, I have a Mac Pro with a 512mb ati radeon with 2x 20" monitors hooked up to it via DVI. What I want to do is watch a DVD or quicktime video spread over both monitors. Not just full screen on one of them, but spread all the way over both so that the center of the video appears in cross of the two monitors. anyone know of anyway or software to do this?

I am not sure about software options...it might work with a hardware device like this, depending on your graphics card capability:

Now, if you strech the video across both monitors, how can you multi-task and get any work done???

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't play a movie on DVD with QuickTime

I can't play a movie on a DVD with QuickTime. With the player open, when I go to File and then Open, I get the two Video and Audio folders on the DVD itself! The Apple Quicktime guide says of how to play video:
"To open a movie on your hard disk, a CD, or a DVD, do one of the following:
1) In the Finder (or Windows Explorer), double-click the file or drag it to the QuickTime Player application icon.
2)Choose File > Open and select the file."
Firstly, if I double click on the DVD drive in Windows Explorer, it'll open the DVD with my default player (not Quicktime). Secondly what is the 'QuickTime Player application icon?
Thanks, Trickyf

Thanks QuickTimeKirk. I didn't know that about QuickTime not being able to play DVD movies. However am still interesed re the icon. Where is the icon supposed to be which I drag files to? On the desktop? There isn't an icon in the player.
Thanks

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

Can I make a DVD using Quicktime or anything else in my arsenal?

First off I apologize for m idiocracy in posting this in "Quicktime for Windows" before this as I simply was noy paying any attention, also, please forgive me what I am about to ask has been discussed, but I didn't find any answers in my searching so here goes: How can I make a DVD that will play in TV set DVD players? Do I need any alternate programs or possibly an upgrade to Quicktime Pro?
Heres the situation I have that way, with any luck, you'll understand what and I am trying to do (and hopefully tell me it's a rather easy process): I have a friend that has a bunch of skate videos available for download on his personal web page....turns out those downloads are .mgp and they play through Quicktime. Now what I want to do is take those said videos and make them into a DVD I can watch in any player. Is this possible with Quicktime, iDVD, or anything else that came standard with my new Macbook or do I need another program? Sorry, I'm a new Mac user.
Thanks for the help I've already been given on ths site and the info I am sure to receive now. So far these discussion forums have been extremely helpful.

If you have do do many then buy Toast 8 Titanium and use them directly in Toast and skip first making a QT version then turning around and making yet another version. Which avoid compressing the clips twice as well. MPEG-1 is a very low quality codec so I would not compress the clips once to QT and again to iDVD.
Also iDVD is fussy and takes forever, Toast isn't and doesn't.

PPT to DVD using Quicktime Pro

I am trying to transfer a Powerpoint slide to a DVD. I had heard it could be done using Quicktime Pro. I have made the PPT a .mov and can get it to open in Quicktime, but the animations and timing does not transfer. A 5-second PPT is coming out as 17 seconds long. How can I fix this?

QuickTime Pro doesn't export to the MPEG-2 format so it doesn't make DVD's
Your profile says you're using a Mac.
Export your .avi to DV Stream (.dv) format (make sure you can play them with QT first).
Use iDVD to burn your DVD. It will convert your .dv file into the MPEG-2 format used on DVD's.
If you don't have a built in DVD burner you may be able to use a Firewire external. Check before you buy to be sure it is compatible with iDVD software.

Best Data Rate for Export to DVD as Quicktime Movie

Hello - hope someone out there can help me!!!
I put together a slideshow for my high school reunion using iMovie HD 5.0.2 and need help with settings exporting it as a Quicktime movie.
*I want to export it to a DVD* so that I can play it on a friend's laptop and I'm not sure if iDVD would be the way to go - my friend has a Macbook Pro I can borrow so it might be okay - I am worried about the fact that I've been working on older software. (I have read about opening iDVD and bringing in iMovie project vs. "share to iDVD"). So they suggested instead of iDVD I just export as a quicktime. Then I can burn it in Toast (v.6.0.2)
Wondering about *BEST DATA RATE?*
In export settings I have:
compressor set at H.264
frame rate: current (should that be DV-NTSC?)
key frames: automatic (?)
encoding: best quality/multi-pass
should data rate be automatic?
Some details that might be relevant to helping me:
*Stills brought in as clips with cross-dissolves, only two uses of "Ken Burns effect"
*Some stills were in the project from my LAST reunion - I realize I should have reimported all the stills since I am now recompressing them, but it's too late now!
*no audio
*Slideshow is about 45 mins long, file size says 5.52GB although when I looked into exporting it last night it said 9+GB - not sure why
*Using a G4 Tower (not my ancient laptop) with OS 10.4.11, Dual 533MHz PowerPC, 1.5GB SDRAM
iDVD version is 6.0.4
please help if you can!! thank you in advance...

Are you trying to burn a standard DVD or are you trying to put a QuickTime .mov file on DVD media?
A standard DVD doesn't worry about file size (only the duration).
A "data" DVD is limited to the type of media used. A single layer DVD is about 3.7 GB's.
In order to make a data DVD you need to keep the data rate low enough to not exceed the DVD media playback abilities. They can't handle the higher rates found in many of the preset options.
You can avoid all of these headaches by telling the viewer to "copy" the .mov file from the DVD to their Desktop. Then nearly any of the presets option will work.
H.264 is a great video codec and the "automatic" preset should work just fine. Use "multi-pass" for best quality (takes a very long time). Remove the check mark for "Audio" since your file has none. Leave it checked and you waste file size because a silent audio track would be added.

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.")

Can't export to DVD because Quicktime fails with error: 0

I've got several projects in FCP X that I need to create DVD images of. My first approach was to export them to Compressor, set the settings, and then submit them. When I did that, the first project exported fine, creating an AC3 file and an M2V file needed for a DVD. And since I had a Post-Transcoding Action set to create a DVD image on the hard drive, I got a nice IMG file.
But the second and subsequent projects all failed. The video target worked fine, but each of the audio targets failed with an error. In the History window, they each have this:
Failed: QuickTime Error: 0
So I did some searching here for suggestions, but it seems most of the answers are for older versions of FCP and Compressor. I did Reset Background Processing, but that didn't fix it. So then I went back to FCP X and did a Share to DVD directly, instead of going through Compressor. The same thing happened: the job failed, and I got QuickTime error 0.
So my first question: How can I get more information about why QuickTime is failing? Is there a more detailed log somewhere to tell me specifics other than a vague error code number?
Second, why would the first project's audio export just fine but the second project didn't? They use exactly the same project properties, the same effects, etc.
The only difference I see is that the audio and video clips were encoded with different codecs. The first one (the one that worked) has an audio config of 1 Mono with clips that are Linear PCM. The second project (the one that failed) has an audio config of 2 Mono with clips that are AAC.
But I do tons of projects using AAC clips that I can "share" to DVDs just fine. Any clues?
Thanks,
Todd.

Correction: I don't use AAC audio clips all the time. I was mistaken. Almost all my projects use Linear PCM audio clips (the kind that are working OK). So is there something I need to know about AAC audio that could make it generate QuickTime Error: 0 when converting to Dolby AC3 format?

Help with making DVD from quicktime movie

I just made a dvd using IDVD of my FCE sequence. I selected make dvd from movie. The FCE sequence was comprised of two parts. The first part of the time line was a sequence I imported as a quicktime movie and the remaining time line was the edited sequence which was the later part of the completed fce project. When I made an IDVD copy of the sequence (after exporting the full sequence to yet another quicktime movie), the only part of the sequence that recorded on the dvd was the first part --the quicktime movie I imported into the full sequence. As I watched the video asset encoding process I saw the 2nd half of the sequence encoding onto the burn but when I play the DVD it only plays the first part of the sequence over and over again and is missing the second part.
Any ideas why this happened?
Karen

thanks, Ronda, for your warm welcome!!!
nope, not yet, no door, no key, no membership card yet…
I think, I should give the folks at Cupertino a few hours… it's way too early…
oh, why do we Europeans don't use PST, or even EST…
nice smiley, Ronda, does anyone remember my old avatar…?
sorry, Karen, for jacking your thread!!!
… but, today, this is … excitin' for me... ;-))

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.

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.

DVD Player & Quicktime erratic playback

My first edition Mac Mini's playback of DVDs and also video files with Quicktime & VLC Player has been incredibly erratic lately.
For example, DVDs being played with DVD player will suddenly rewind back to the start, skip to other chapters, forward when I try to pause, go back to the menu and highlight other items, all at random points of the disc.
I thought this was due to either the disc being scratched (I clean them regularly), or the optical drive being very dirty (I admit it needs a good clean).
However, the same issue occured when playing Quicktime movie files in Quicktime. A video file would just rewind at random points, or "stutter".
This also occured in VLC Player.
The only way to avoid this occuring was to click on the menu bar, or with a wired PC mouse to "right click" and leave it.
Why would this be occuring?
I recently updated the operating system to the latest version (cannot recall what it is, so I just entered iOS6- and will update later).
I also changed the batteries in the keyboard twice.
I do admit the keyboard could also do with a clean, but I don't believe the rewind function key and other keys are stuck.
Please help me with this. I have actually lost a lot of sleep over it. It's like it is possessed!

I have the same issue fairly regularly with DVDs when played back using the Apple DVD Player app. The same DVDs work fine with VLC.
While rebooting helps, it doesn't actually fix anything. The same goes for resetting PRAM and other stuff. The problem persists, albeit intermittently. I've rebooted and have had a DVD exhibit the same exact problems right away. And then I try VLC and it runs fine.
There are three variables that I can point to...
Apple DVD Player application... as noted above, the issue does not occur at all with VLC
Memory... it's possible that the Apple DVD Player app hits on a bad stretch of memory, it causes this kind of problem. Still this points to the application as the issue does not occur in other playback apps.
Video Card... on my macbook pro it's the NVIDIA 320M. Again, the playback is fine in other playback apps, so this still points back to the Apple DVD Player app, but it's possible that it has issues with the video card
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I hope Apple will fix the problem, and I'm OK with using VLC until it gets fixed, but there is at least one feature of Apple's DVD Player app that I love... it remembers exactly where I was at even if I take the DVD out to play something else. VLC Player does not appear to have that functionality (at least not that I've found thus far).
