Export a purchased Dvd to I-Tunes for Apple TV

I have a dvd that I purchased that I would like to download to my itunes account. The service hot line says I need the digital version which is only available on newer dvds. My question is there a way to download to itunes or is there a third party software download that will enable me to. Thanks

I understand what you're asking. What you own is the piece of plastic that is the DVD and certain rights. What you were not sold was the right to copy the DVD. The doctrine of Fair Use was pretty much gutted in the U.S. by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The DCMA is the law that makes it illegal to break the encryption on the DVD. What you intend to do with the copy you make is irrelevant to the legal question.
In short, it's illegal to copy a commercial DVD in the U.S. and against the rules for us to discuss how to do that here.
Sorry.

Downloading legally purchased DVDs to I-Tunes so I can watch on my iPod

I want to download my LEGALLY PURCHASED DVDs to iTunes to watch on my iPod. How do I do this? If I can't do it, then why is it illegal since I purchased the DVD at a store? Thanks!

This is illegal.
It is illegal because our legal system and many around the world have ruled it illegal.

Are purchased songs exclusively for Apple devices?

This may sound like a simple question.
Are the songs purchased from iTunes only playable for Apple devices? Meaning we can sync all Apple devices we have and get the same songs?
Is there any way to convert the purchased songs to mp3 in order to transfer it to non-Apple device?
iTunes is user-friendly for me, but if the purchased songs aren't playable on non-Apple devices, I might need to find another sources. Any idea?

Yes you can convert tracks to MP3 version in iTunes.
1. Go into iTunes preferences
2. On the General Tab, click on Import Settings
3. Change the Import Using setting to be MP3 Encoder.
4. Click Ok and then Ok to close preferences.
5. Now select a track or tracks that you want to convert to MP3.
6. Then click on the Advanced Menu and select the Create MP3 Version.
This will create an MP3 version of the tracks you selected, it works fro content purchased from the iTunes Store, provided it is in iTunes Plus format (no DRM). Make sure your use of the converted tracks does not breach the Terms of Use you agreed to here :

What replaces "Flash Player" for Apple?

I've realized that I can't open any ".wmv" files and anything that uses "Flash Player", it's ticking me off. I've tried purchasing a wmv converter software for Apple but "Safari" prevents it...
Any have a solution??
Thks

No solutiom. The Apple CEO (Steve Jobs) has stated that Apple does not allow Flash. Here is an excerpt from his speech in April of last year (the italics are, of course, mine):
"Besides the fact that Flash is closed and proprietary, has major technical drawbacks, and doesn’t support touch based devices, there is an even more important reason we do not allow Flash on iPhones, iPods and iPads..."

Web Cam for Apple Macbook.

Has anybody purchased the latest web cam for Apple. Review please.

I get great results with a 12-month old Logitech Pro 5000 USB camera. Prior to the purchase of this C2D Mac mini, I used it with a 1 GHz eMac running Leopard & an 800 MHz iBook running Tiger. Since the arrival of OS 10.4.3, support for USB webcams has been built in.
I was surprised that the eMac worked as it is an older one without USB 2.0.
Prior to the purchase of the Logitech camera I also achieved excellent results using a Mini DV camcorder which connects via Firewire.

HI Frostyfrog
CHeck out iTunes Match which has an annual fee of £21 or thereabouts. You can store a maximum of 25,000 songs there and they all become available on your other kit, iPhone, iPad and iPod. I know it works as I have over 23000 songs uploaded of which only a few we're bought through iTunes.
it works by comparing your music to the whole iTunes music dadata base so you access the same tunes that you could get from iTunes. If you have obscure stuff, it uploads your own music to the cloud as a copy.
I Find it incredible that on my iPhone with its 16gb memory I can view almost 200 gb of music (ie my 23000 songs) and play any of them. Anything I add to iTunes becomes available via the cloud fairly quickly from a few minutes or a little longer if adding a lot.
The first time you use it it will take quite a while to match your music if you have a lot, but after that it is all automatic. Read the stuff on the apple site. Your PC needs to be at least running Vista. I recommend it and at less than 50p a week it's good value.
Good luck

I Use the last FCX but I have a prob when I export (share) to dvd the result is over 4GB for a single DVD is about 6 to 9 Gb for a short film of 1h so what can I do to fix this

These "Share" files are accessed and used by the Create Disc app.
Create Disc is buried in the FCP X package.
Applications>FCP X>Show Package Contents>Contents>Plugins>Compressor>Compressor Kit.bundle>Show Package Contents>Embedded Apps>Create Disc
I'm wondering if having the Compressor Application on a Mac makes a difference to having just FCP X on a Mac and the use of the Sharing feature.
I have Compressor loaded and find that DVD and Bluray burns from Share without any glitches as some are experiencing.

- You can only syncewith one iTunes library. It sounds like you change libraries such as changing the computer.
- As you may know you can transfer iTunes' pruchases to a new computer by:

Exporting 24bit/96kHz audio from CS5.5 for SD DVD?

Hi, I'm trying to export a timeline with 24bit/96kHz for encoding to SD DVD. Using AME to encode before importing assets into Encore, I see nothing but 48kHz. Ditto for BRD export. Is that normal? I do have a Matrox MXO2 mini installed which does not support 96kHz but I started a new, non-Matrox project and exported the project into that and deleted render files and re-rendered. Same thing: no 96kHz audio encode option. Yet, even SD DVD has always supported 96kHz audio.
It doesn't even look like AME allows exporting an "audio only" file with 96kHz that is compatible with DVD.
DVD supports uncompressed PCM audio but alas my total exportable file size would be just under 9GB and dual layer DVD supports 8.5GB so it's too big a file to do that. And when I imported the whole timeline (vid+aud) into Encore using Bridge, it shows the Audio as "Untranscoded" which I assume means Encore will definitely transcode it. Note: I imported the timeline into Encore using Bridge and then separately imported an MPEG-2 DVD transcode done in AME and then deleted its audio file and replaced it with previously "Bridge-transferred" timeline. So, Encore timeline consists of an AME encoded video track and an uncompressed audio portion of the Premiere timeline. But again, I assume that even if the estimated resulting file size was not too big, Encore would still encode the audio track. (Encore shows the video as "Don't Transcode" because I already encoded it wity AME.
Is there anyway on Earth to use Adobe CS5.5 suite to make a DVD with 96kHz audio?
Thanks for any help from people who have actual experience and insight on doing this. Speculation is not what I'm after. Surely someone around here has made a DVD with 24bit/96kHz audio. I recorded a symphony orchestra with a Sound Devices 788T in BWF at above spec and my exec produder wants to hear my audio on his audiophile system with tubes and really expensive speakers. I do too. This is lame if I cannot.
Thanks!

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your valuable insight on all of this and your testing. I get your point re me being in the minority. However I still doubt this a case of being on the bleeding edge of technology and notwithstanding that the files are huge, it has been part of the spec. If Adobe allows 24/96 in various other encoding output options then I feel it should for DVD, and certainly should for BDR. I suspect all BDR players support it.
For the 15 years I've been in this biz, my work has been coprporate - as is the fundraising video I produced for the symphony. Since one rarely (if ever) gets a chance to record symphony orchestras and my 788T allowed it, I logically chose 24/96. I guess I need to research the optional Dolby Digital or MPEG encoding of audio for this kind of programming (never used or needed it since no corporate accounts ever complained about the stereo PCM audio.)
Very interesting re i7+GPU acceleration being faster than Max encoding. Please tell me where you got that info. I assume there's been reliable testing. I know one thing: Max doesn't heat up my CPU and GPU. I currently have an i7 980 hex core with a GTX470. (as I understand it, GTX is fine for Premiere editing; Quadro isn't really needed unless doing heavy graphics in After Effects).
Here's one for you that you may not already know: according to Adobe's own site, you need an approved GPU card with SDI out in order to take full advantage of what it calls "Graphics for Video" output (I think it's supposed to reduce latency issues with output to an external monitor.
Nvidia now has a special plugin to properly allow Mercury Transport passthru. BMD, for example, is now claiming that their devices allow Mercury Transmit passthru but says nothing re needing an approved card with SDI out and the special plugin to make it work. I understand that even without SDI out, one does get external monitoring without using a Matrox or other third-party i/o box. When I call Matrox or BMD they know nothing. Ditto for the NVidia guy I spoke to.
I've been planning my new budget to include an HP Dreamcolor monitor but that doesn't have SDI in. MOTU said that their device with SDI-in does output RGB via its HDMI or component out. (Dreamcolor requires RGB signal).
I've always used Canopus, Matrox or BMD but now I'd like to get away away from these third-party i/o solutions due to being troublesome with buggy drivers just adding more complexity and complications than they're worth. If Nvidia offers SDI out and, by nature, the output is RGB, and I find a monitor that has SDI but doesn't cost a fortune. (currently using a Sony LMD2030W production monitor), why do I need a third-party i/o solution? (other than if I want 96kHz).
I welcome any further insights you have these third-pary devices becoming obsolete re your comment above re Max encoding not being as fast i7-GPU acceleration. As well as anything I'm positing.
Thanks again, Jeff!

I can not export photos onto DVD. After I click export, close iPhoto, click Finder, At this point I can't find the file to burn. (copy to be used on Windows) Sorry for the lame question....new to mac

So it sounds like you are trying to burn a DVD with photos on it so the photos can be either transferred to or displayed on a Windows PC, is that correct?
For the purposes of this I am going to assume you are using iPhoto '11.
Gather the photos you want to burn to DVD in one album in iPhoto. This is not absolutely necessary but it sure makes things easier for me.
Select that album, then go to the File menu and select Export...
In the dialog that shows up, select the File Export tab. Select the setting you want to use for export. Click the Export button.
Another dialog will show up. Set the location to Desktop and click the New Folder button. Name the folder something nice and descriptive and click the Create button.
Click the OK button. Quit iPhoto as the rest of this work will be done in the Finder.
You will now have a folder on your desktop with that nice descriptive name. Find it and select it. Go to the File menu and from it select Burn "Descriptive folder name" to Disc...
Insert a blank DVD when prompted.
Let the finder complete the work and eject the disc afterwards.
That's it. Best of luck.

You will need to contact the movie studio that produced the DVD and ask if they can issue you a new code valid for Canada. Apple cannot help you, and everyone here in these forums is just a fellow user.

Nothing technical has been discussed. It is blocked because of licensing/copy protection.

The Apple TV is not a DVD player. So if you do not already own a player, then yes you will have to purchase one to view them on your TV.

What's the best compression setting for exporting video to DVD?

My QT self contained file from FCP is 13 GB (1:02 min long) when I use DV NTSC while exporting. When iDVD finished encoding it, it went down to 3.4 GB (that includes video files in my iDVD menus).
*Since the DVD media is 4.7 GB can I make better quality DVD by lessening compression while exporting from FCP?*
I don't think there is a way to tweak compression in iDVD. And my second question:
*Is "self contained" file better quality than just a reference file?*
*I would like to make the best possible quality DVD and am looking for some tips on what settings would help me achieve it.*

Hi Joby,
Compressor is what you need.
Import your file, choose DVD best quality 90 minutes from the settings tab (lower left window in Compressor). This will allow your movie to be converted as MPEG 2 and ac3 dolby stereo (best compression for DVD audio).
The inspector window (lower right window) will allow you to decide/arrange settings as you like.
If you are not sure about best bit rate choice use the [Bit Budget|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/bitbudget.html]
As you can see the inspector window offers a range of customizable settings if you are not familiar with those the manual (main menu>help>user manual) will answer all your questions. Simply type a word or definition in the search area and most likely the manual will provide the info you seek.
Self contained means that you create a file with exact copies from your original frames and edit on the timeline, a self-contained file becomes independent from your timeline. A reference movie as the definition says totally refers to your FCP project and wouldn't work on a different machine without referenced media files.
There is no difference in quality between the two QTmovie options.
Hope that helps
G.

I purchased 2 one-year subscriptions for Adobe Export at $ 29.88 on Oct. 2013 and at $ 25.37 Mar. 2014. But, when I signed in today, the site asks me purchase another one-year subscription. I don't understand. I have bank transaction records.

Thank you for your swift response.
I was able to sign in using the original email address that I used when I first signed up last Oct. What I still don't understand is how I somehow signed up for the same subscription last March .
I have always been using https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf because I bookmarked it when I first signed up. I never use computers other than mine because of my disability. Whenever I signed in, the site showed my original email address, asking for my password. I don't understand why I ended up signing for the second time. The original email address was showing up until the other day when the site showed my old email address that I deactivated sometime ago. I could not sign in because I had no record of the password for this address.
Yes, I do see my subscriptions listed under "My Plans & Products" and are both still active. But, I don't seem to be able to get refund by canceling one of them.
