Edit Wedding Video from Ritz yesvideo dvd in imovie, PLEASE HELP????

Hello:
I hope someone can help me with this. I had only the tapes from my wedding so I brought them to Ritz to have a simple dvd done. I asked them if I would be able to edit later and they said yes. Now when I watch it (on the dvd player or mac) it is like a real dvd, like bought but 3 hours of "boring" recordings. You know what I mean. It needs the editing but I do not know how to get it into imovie...
Before I go back to ritz, can someone tell me how to do that, where I get my files and what to do so I can import it to my imovie library and start working?
The dvd has a menu and chapters and all that, it says you can purchase a digital scrapbook for windows to edit everything, but obviously with my mac I don't need that and no one ever mentioned it to me either...
Thanks for all the help I can get...
Sabine

DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
VisualHub (23.32$)
Drop2DV (free)
Cinematize >60$
Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

Can't get videos from my documents to Itunes! Please help!

I've tried doing file import and it doesn't show up in Itunes. I've also tried dragging the file from my documents to itunes but that doesn't work either. The ipod I'm using is an 80g ipod video, thought I'd include that. Not sure what else I can try if someone could please help me I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!!

What format are your videos on? They need to be Quick Time to go into iTunes to be played, and MPEG4 to be able to transfer to the iPod.
I don't import the files, I use File and Add File to Library - try that.

Problems with downloading videos from the internet....please help

sorry if this the wrong forum to post but I don't know where else to post my issue.
Normally when I download videos from the internet I click on "window" then "activity" then the largest file ie ? of ? (which is the MB file) and it downloads then I use isquint to put it to mp4 format. However now when I do that the file I download says that "video _ts folders can't be directly converted" and there is a button that says "Inadequacy". I can't even download videos from youtube. Any help would be great.
thank you

Other than the videos on YouTube, can you post a link or URL of the videos you having problems with for us to test out for you?
I use Firefox which has quite a few video converter add ons that allows downloads of any type of video from the net. The one I use is called +Flash Video Downloader.+
"Is there anything else I need to have installed in order to be able to download videos?"
The latest versions of the following:
QuickTime
RealPlayer
Flip4Mac
VLC Media Player
Perian (AVI and FLV support)
"I also have divx and 3ivx installed"
You can get rid of those if you have any of the above installed.
" Mac OS X (10.5.2)"
Use Software Update to update your OS which is seriously out of date. The last version of Leopard I believe was either v5.6 or v5.8. Also, update all the other things listed that pertain to the OS & your model computer if applicable to your needs.

How can i save photo from Facebook page?why i can't watch any videos from Facebook in this browser? please help me..

What can i do?

HI,
Did you ever figure out how to get them back? The same thing happened to me yesterday. I was able to open the file in VLC media player (you can download this app), but the file had been corrupted. It was only the last clip I had recorded, all the others were lost. Even the clip that will play is messed up

On a new Mac how to transfer video from an external DVD to an external hard rive

I want to transfer my family videos from an external DVD player attached to my new mac to an external hard drive for back up purposes. What do I do? Thanks.

It is an external DVD drive connected by USB.
Then you can copy your DVDs using Disk Utility.
Insert your DVD in the drive. If DVD player opens, close it. Then open Disk Utility. (Disk Utility comes with all Macs; it's located in the /Applications/Utilities folder.)
In Disk Utlity, select your DVD disk in the pane on the left side. Then do File > New Disk Image from (title of your DVD disk).
Then give a name to the copy you are about to create and select a save location.
In "Image Format" select DVD/CD Master (very important!)
Set encryption as NONE (also very important!)
Then Save
This will create a disk image file on your hard drive. It's a duplicate of your DVD. You can burn this image to other DVD media and/or play it on your computer same as if it were an actual DVD disk.
Note: this will not work with commercial DVDs due to their copy protection.

Will I have the ability to continue to edit my video from a Canon MV430i camcorder if I update the operating system on my iMac to OS10:5 Leopard?

Will I have the ability to continue to edit my video from a Canon MV430i camcorder if I update the operating system on my iMac to OS10:5 Leopard?

No you won't, iMovie 6 will continue to work, and having two or more versions of iMovie should not be a problem.

I need to get back individually erased photos and videos from my iMac with no backups to help. Please help

i need to get back individually erased photos and videos from my iMac with no backups to help. this is an attempt to consolidate all my data, new and old so I can uninstall Maverick and put Mountain Lion back on my iMac. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the files have been overwritten and you don't have a backup, they're gone.
If they have not been overwritten, then there are third-party apps (for example Techtool Pro 7 ) with data recovery functions that might be able to retrieve some or all of your files.
Backing up is good.

How do i import video from my sony cx130 to imovie

how do i import video from my sony cx130 to imovie?

Follow the steps below to troubleshoot if the computer does not recognize the USB connection from the camcorder.
Turn off the camcorder.
Ensure the USB cable is connected securely to the camcorder.
Ensure the other end of the USB cable is connected securely to the USB port on the computer. NOTE: Connection through a USB hub is not supported.
With the exception of the mouse, keyboard, and camcorder, remove any other USB connected devices from the computer.
Turn on the camcorder.
On the camcorder LCD screen, touch the computer or hard disk icon.
If the issue is still not resolved, connect the USB cable to a different USB port on the computer.
If the issue is still not resolved, try uninstalling and reinstalling the USB driver.
If the issue is still not resolved, test the USB port on the computer by connecting a different USB device.

I am trying to download a video from the BBC iplayer and the downloader helper will not start. How can I solve this problem

I am trying to download video from the BBC iplayer and the download helper will not start. How do I get it to start?

No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
"This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.
Configure conversion ?"
And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.

Trouble Imprting video from canon hg 10 to imovie 08

Hi, I am having trouble importing video from my canon hg10 to imovie 08. When I try to import video imovie 08 tells me my camera is not connected even though it is. The canon hdd appears on the desktop. I have an intel core duo mac mini and have updated imovie 08 to v. 7.1. Any ideas would be much appreciated, Thanks.

Hope you all had a great Christmas.
Now back to the problem at hand. Nathan, did you get your Mac to recognize the camera.
I spend 2 hrs. with Apple Care x-mas morning, had to cut them off 'cause my children wanted to open their presents. Recorded them on my HG-10. Haven't had a chance to call back to continue case.
I want to find a solution, before having to go to the extreme of initializing the drive in camera.
Anyone?

Impossible to import videos from Panasonic SDR s26 to iMovie 09, previously no problem. Why?

Impossible to import videos from Panasonic SDR s26 to iMovie 09, previously no problem. Any way to solve this problem?

I don't have your model but here are some things to try.
1) Make sure you are powering the camcorder with AC power not batteries.
2) Open iMovie before connecting the Camcorder
3) Connect the USB Cable and turn on the camcorder
4) Open the LCD screen of the camcorder. Does it give you a choice of Pictbridge vs. PC Mode. If so, choose PC Mode.
5) iMovie import screen should come up.
Also, make sure you have installed all software updates. (/Software Update). If the software update requires you to restart your Mac, then restart your Mac before proceeding. Install iMovie, iLife, Quicktime, and Leopard updates.
If that still does not work, try taking out your SD card and putting in a USB card reader.
If that still does not work, put the card back in the camcorder and make a disk image of the card using disk utility. After making the disk image, try formatting the card using your camcorder menu. Then retry shooting some footage and importing.
By the way, using MPEG streamclip should not create files any larger than iMovie will create using an import function.

Videos NOR Music will load after SYNC, Please HELP

Hello everyone,
I have an iPad and Recently bought RIO to watch on the iPad.
After it downloaded I could not find it anywhere! So I synced to my iTunes and there it was....after the iPad was done syncing I ejected it....
And NOW the Music folder NOR the iPod apps will open.
In my setting my iPad shows that there is 0 movies and 0 songe.....but when I connect it to my iTunes....it shows all the music and videos are on my iPad!
Someone PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

I just wanted to get the question out ASAP....
So here is the breakdown
My 2 year old wanted to watch something new. So i decided to use my iPad and look for a new movie. He saw the preview of RIO and wanted to watch it.
So i downloaded it and once it was finished I went to my main page and opened the videos icon. All my videos were there, but when I looked for RIO it was not there. I even went to the search page and only angrey birds same up (RIO EDITION).
So i was like DANG....walked downstairs and plugged my iPad inot my computer. I opened iTunes and proceeded to transfer purchases. So RIO transfered over to my iTunes on my PC.
Once it was complete, I clicked the eject button and "tried" to open the videos app.....Nothing happened. It went the videos black background screen for like 7 seconds then it automatically exits and returns to the home screen. I was like...WHAT??
I tried and tried again with no luck.
I walked back to my computer and tried to resync and remove all videos and music over and over and over with no luck!
So at the moment, when i try to open either the video or the ipod apps...they just sit at the background screen for about 7 seconds then shuts down and returns to the home screen.
When i go to my settings in my iPad it says there are NO songs and NO videos on my iPad.
When I plug it into my iTunes, it shows that I have 9gb of free space on my 64gb iPad....1180 songs and like 8 movies and 22 tv shows...mostly kids stuff...
So I hope that helps clarify my problem.
I have had this once before, but it fixed itself, I was at work and a few hours later everything was working!
But NOT this time, its just not wanting to play at all
Thanks again for your HELP!

Answers in this forum have shown different things have worked for different people.
For some clearing YouTube cookies and the cache solved the problem. For details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Deleting+cookies and https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+clear+the+cache
Others had to go a step further after deleting YouTube cookies and block YouTube from saving cookies. In the Tools menu select Options to open the Options window. Go to the Privacy panel and make sure it is set to "Use custom setting for history". Click the Exceptions button, type in http://www.youtube.com and click on Block
Another option is to disable hardware acceleration for Flash. To do that right-click on a Flash video, select Settings, go to the first tab of the settings for the option to enable/disable hardware acceleration for Flash. This is something recommended by YouTube for those having problems - http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?&answer=1209379
