Editing recorded DVDs

Dear Forum,
Next to some related questions already posted, I have another one regarding DVDs and iMovie.
I have a DVD recorder connected to my TV set. Is it possible to load these recorded DVDs into iMovie, remove all the unwanted content (unwanted previous and following parts of TV programs and of course commercials) and then putting the cleaned part back to the DVD-RW?
What additional SW do I need, I read something about MPEG2. Is the supplied with QuickTime Pro?
Kind Regards
Rob

Leslie:
Yesterday I posted a similar message under "ipod" - I guess I did not see the "color display" category. I gave my daughter my mini so I could obtain voice memo capability with the 20 color. Now I need to edit too. Have you solved the issue as yet? I guess none of the ilife programs can do this?
Help is appreciated! Thanks All.

Ability to edit a DVD created on other equipment.

I have an old video my mother had made from 8mm film. I bought a RCA DVD Recorder/Player and copied the video to DVD. When I loaded the DVD into the Mac, it plays, but I can't figure out how to edit the video stream (lots of bouncing around and heads cut off). Is there a product out there that will allow you to edit a DVD that wasn't created in either iMovie or iDVD? I'm still planning on duping the videos, but sure would like to edit them down.
Thanks in advance

I downloaded the trial s/w and tried to convert the files, but I keep getting a message that the file format is unsupported. I tried to send a question to DVDxDV's webite, but it kept timing out and when you go to their forums, they want everything but your SSN. They don't need to know my birthday to provide support.
The files I find on the DVD are VIDEO_RM, which contains VIDEO_RM.BUP/DAT & IFO fiels, as well as a ZRN_DISC.DAT file
and
VIDEO_TS, which contains: VIDEO_TS.BUP/.IFO/.VOB AND VTS010.BUP/.IFO &.VOB files.
I don't need the audio files, just the video and I don't know enough about the tech specs for video to figure out what's happening.
Any help would be appreciated.

Please help with basic guidance on editing a DVD on my iMac

I am trying to transfer old VHS tapes of my grandchildren onto DVDs. Currently, I am using a Sony Video Cassette Recorder/DVD Recorder model RDR-VX530 for the dubbing. What I want to know is how to edit a completed DVD (DVD-RW or DVD-R) on my iMac. I have never even tried this and am not sure how to even begin or what is possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Shouldn't this person be able to put it to DVD. Load it, and using iMovie to download the movie? There they can mess around with it, and re-burn it to disk?
Personally, I use a media converter. I've convert VHS, Laser Disks, and other things like 8 tracks, and cassettes. My media converter is a Sony. You can find them on eBay. Just search Sony Media Converter. I love this unit, and I will never get rid of it. I have had to buy Adapters (For the newer iMac) from time to time but, it's worth it.

Editing a DVD on Toshiba RDX47KTB

I have purchased a Toshiba RDX47KTB VCR/DVD player recorder.
On page 34 of the handbook under 'Media Types' it tells me I am able to 'Edit Recorded Contents' on a DVD+RW disc.
Can anybody explain how I can remove adverts from a recorded film please.

Hi
Unfortunately, this is a Toshiba notebook and notebook options forum.
I doubt that someone would be able to help you here in the forum

HOW TO: Use Input tags to edit records

The question has been asked, "What does using the BC4J Input data tags provide
over standard HTML input fields?" It is true that either type of input field allows
your JSP to take user input and update your BC4J datasource. Both types of input
fields submit a name-value pair to a JSP processing page that bind the data with
a datasource row and attribute. However, unless you use the BC4J Input data tags,
users will not be able to edit data in existing records. To see the difference,
use the JDeveloper DataPage Wizard to create an Insert Record form and an Edit
Record form.
To create the Insert Record form:
<ol>
[*]Use the Business Components Wizard to create an entity object and view object for a database table you can update.
[*]In the same project or another project, if you wish, use the DataPage Wizard to create an Insert Form for the view object.
[*]Look in your JSP project folder in the Navigator and notice that two pages were generated: one JSP to render the insert HTML form and the other JSP to process the incoming parameters.
[*]Open the file VO_Insert.jsp and notice that it does not use the BC4J input data tags.
</ol>
In the Insert form, the input data tags are not needed to render static HTML form elements such as empty text fields. It is important to note, however, that the name of these text fields corresponds to the attributes of your selected view object. This is extremely important because the processing page looks for parameters corresponding to the names of the attributes to update the view object datasource.
Now, create the Edit Record form:
<ol>
[*]Use the DataPage Wizard again, but this time select Edit Form for the view
object.
[*]Open the file VO_Edit.jsp and notice that it uses the BC4J input data tags,
which contain the prefix <jbo:Input ...>.
[*]Look in your JSP project folder in the Navigator and again notice that two
pages were generated: one JSP to render the edit HTML form and the other JSP
to process the incoming parameters.
[*]Open the file VO_Edit.jsp and notice that it uses the BC4J input data tags.
</ol>
In the Edit form, the BC4J input data tags are needed because in this case,
the page has to query the current value of the record and place that data into
the text field. The Edit form uses a second page to process the edited values.
To summarize the differences:
Use the <jbo:Input ...> data tags when you need to create an Edit Existing Record type of JSP page. This page will query the current data from the view object datasource and display it in each input field.
OR
Use standard HTML input fields when you do not need to query the database to show existing records. This is the case in a static Insert Record form where only empty HTML fields are rendered.
The end goal of each Input tag is to supply a name-value pair to a processing
page which will then update the database according to the value passed to it.
For example in order to update the "Ename" column of the Emp table,
a name-value pair such as Ename="smith" must be passed via an HTML
form to a processing page. The processing page will then be able to update the
table with the new value of the attribute using the following code:
<jbo:Row id="myrow" datasource="ds" rowkeyparam="MyRowKey" action="Update">
<jbo:SetAttribute dataitem="*"/>
</jbo:Row>

By setting the attribute 'dataitem="*"' in the SetAttribute tag,
it is able to update all database columns where a name-value pair is supplied.
The SetAttribute tag must be used inside of the Row tag to allow an operation
on a single row.
The Row tag is able to identify a specific row through the rowkeyparam attribute.
The rowkeyparam takes the HTML request parameter that contains the value of
a BC4J rowkey. It is the BC4J rowkey that uniquely identifies the row within
a rowset. By default Row tag by default obtains the rowkey for the cu rrent row.
(You can also specify the row when you want to perform a Find action as explained
in the OTN topic "How To: Navigating Using DataTags".)


Ok. I didn't understand your question.
You have to do some settings for adding new rows for the analysis grid in Analyzer. And in the new rows you can input the characteristic values. To enable the new rows
In Analyzer - uncheck the setting Suppress New Lines in the proprties of the Analysis grid item.
In WAD - Check the property Number of New Lines (NEW_LINES_COUNT) of Analysis grid item. You use this parameter to insert any required number of empty rows into the table. The parameter is set to 0 by default.

This is a very common problem. Some are beacuse of the quality of media, some are because of the speed the media is burnt, some are because the drive gets dirty just where DVDs are concerned, and some are because of computer age. The last problem is common if the machine gets more than 4 years old, the PRAM battery needs replacing, and all sorts of settings start malfunctioning, until lastly the system clock no longer works and it might not boot. The others, see my FAQ*:

DVR620 incorrect aspect ratio when recording DVD or VHS

I have a DVR620KU connected to a Sony Digital LCD Bravia TV, Sony HT-CT100 Home Theater system and a Scientific Atlantic Explorer 8300HDC cable box. I am using HDMI cables except for the connection from the "out" on cable box to the "in" on the DVR620. When recording from a broadcast program or DVR'd(cable box) program, the picture on the TV while recording, and the DVD or VHS recording when played back, have letterbox like bars top and bottom and the aspect ratio for the picture is stretched. I have tried eliminating the Home Theater system, but that doesn't help. Other than that, things work as they are supposed to, including viewing a commercially recorded DVD.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

It does mean that the DVR620 is not the problem.
I don't have the same cable box as yours. Mine is an Explorer 4250HDC. Even if they were same, however, I believe different cable systems will handle things differently.
I'm on Time-Warner Cable in central NC. I have that big universal remote model URSU-8800L-TWR.
When I press SETTINGS, I get the Settings menu. On the bottom of the screen is Quick Settings. If I press right arrow several times, I get to High Definition. The choices are AutoHD, Picture Size, Aspect Ratio, and Output Resolution. The choices for AutoHD are on/off. I'm using on. Picture Size are Zoom, Normal, and Stretch. I am using Normal. Aspect Ratio choices are 4x3 and 16x9. I am using 4x3. Output resolution should probably be 480i for recording to the DVR620. Note that on the NBC channel currently there is letterboxing on the top and bottom. There is no distortion or stretching. I don't see a way to avoid the letterboxing.
Part of the problem with making these changes is that they will affect all output from the cable box, so your HD signal to your TV might not be as good.

PROBLEM RECORDING DVD

HELLO:
After installing SnowLeopard, this is the first time I am doing an Idvd project and recording it, I am not sure if my problem is related to the OS upgrade.
I do my project as usual and record it and the result is that I get a DVD with Video_Ts and Audio_TS files instead of the normal movies I used to get.
Once the files for the project are loaded I click on "RECORD BUTTON" the one is round divided in yellow and black pieces. I have also tried by selecting "record dvd "...in FILE, and there I have seen that there is an option to save the projecto as video_TS but I have never clicked ont that. If I press on Play on Idvd , I can see the movie the way I want it , the problem is that it does get recordee in the same way.
Any help with this?
Thanks

Sorry , forget all about it, it was the dvd player in my Imac, I never usu it and I thought play was automatic .
Thanks anyway to all

Problems recording DVD+r

I have an Intel Imac 17" with this optical drive: MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-846
i can't record any type of DVD+R (tried 3 different brands, philips, princo and verbatim) because i keep getting an error code (0x8002006D) at the beginning of the recording ... oddly i CAN record DVD+RW and CD (but cd only 8x because at 24x i keep getting errors) ... the firmware version is FB2U
do you think the superdrive is defected? or is this a common problem?
regards,
Giuliano Galea

Many of the optical drives that are furnished by Apple are not to there full potential until you first do 2 things.
Go to your Apple and then click on Software Update, and Download the Firmare Updates and Software, and Security Updates.
Next check out the Manufactures Site and make sure you have the latest Firmware Updates offered by the Manufacture, (CHECK OFTEN).
Sometimes it is also necessary to look for Firmware Hacks that will also allow your drive to work to there full potential.
Lastly do not forget to always use the System Maintence.

Problems with a thread that records dvd on suse linux

PLEASE HELP
I am using SuSE linux, and I record dvd+/- RW with the program growisofs.
By command line on the linux shell, growisofs records normally, but when I try to use the same line cone that I use in the shell in a java thread, it never stops recording, I mean, it records all data, but it apparently does not close the dvd session, for the grenn light on the drive never stops blinking, and I have to stop the proccess manually, because it never releases the dvd drive.
I use the thread in a large program, but for debugging this I have made a simple program, whose error is the same.
the code is:
 String s = "/usr/local/bin/growisofs -speed=1 -M /dev/dvdram -V MIS27 -A growisofs -P MedImServer " +
 " -p MedImServer -sysid Linux -J -R -l -relaxed-filenames -allow-lowercase -allow-multidot /windows/C/online";
 Process p;
 try {
 p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(s);
 p.waitFor();
 catch (IOException ex) {
 JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"erro no runtime");
 System.exit(0);
 catch (InterruptedException ex1) {
 JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"erro no waitfor");
 System.exit(0);
 }with JBuilder 9 debug, I realized that it freezes at the moment of "p.waitFor()".
I thought that it was a problem with the recording software, but it is not: the same command line that I use in the program I have used in the Linux shell and it recorded perfectly. The program does not require any user interaction but the command line I wrote before. The problem with the Java program is that it records all data, but never returns from the process. It's not a problem with the software, for it records perfectly when it's not called within the Java program, so I imagine that it is some funny thing in either the Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) or the p.wait().
Better yet:
Is there a way to record dvds with a java command instead with an exteranal program?
This would be the heaven...
IF it is possible, do it require some sun package?

I tried to execute it, and it indeed doesn't freeze, but it doesn't record a thing either...
now it doesn't even wait for the thread, which is VERY weird: it does not record a thing!!! It just passes by the line 'p.waitFor()'...
Any sugestion?
By the way, thanks for helping me...

What DVD formats can read iMac recorded DVDs?

Hello All,
I have a new intel based 20 inch iMac. When I record a video to a DVD with my iMac I'm I safe in assuming that everyone I send it to will be able to view it on their players? Is there a list someone that lists the formats that will read iMac recorded DVDs? Are they universal?
Thanks for your help.
Mike

If you are talking about DVD video format (i.e. using iDVD)...
It's not so much a function of the Mac, or the DVD recorder as much as what media you use. Most recent DVD players should be able to handle just about anything, but some older ones don't handle all formats well. For instance, some may like +R disks, and others may like -R disks. Others may not like RW disks. Some very old players may not properly play any burned media.
If there's one or two particular models you are going to be using to play your disks, visit their company's website and read the specs for that drive. You can usually get user manuals for the older drives. If you can't find any specs, then you will have to experiment with different media, testing them in your target players.

Wont burn. Error..."No disc is in the drive. Insert a recordable DVD disc."

Get error message "No disc is in the drive. Insert a recordable DVD disc."
After multiple attempts with "Staples Brand" DVD-R (up to 16x Speed) and DVD-RW (up to 4x Speed) Recordable & Rewritable Disc. I tried every disc in the package (12). None of them will burn? The DVD player still functions. So I don't think it's a hardware problem. Any body got any ideas?

I have burned to "Staples" media in the past (about a year ago).
Staples, and many other 'big box' stores, buy their own brand media from low bidders and so it can come from many sources.
If it was dust, wouldn't that also effect the read ability?
Not necessarily.
I was leaning towards the "Cheap Media" as the main problem
So am I.
