Exporting home DVD's into quicktime

Hi,
I have a home DVD (not a commercial one), and I would like to convert the DVD to Quicktime so I can watch them on my iTune. Is that possible?

Yes it is.
There is a freeware product called Mediafork that will do exactly that.
You can get it here -

  • Exporting home DVD's into Apple TV

    Hi Can I export my home DVD's to Apple TV? These are not commercial DVD's, they are home DVDs I created using iDVD.

    Can I export my home DVD's to Apple TV? These are not commercial DVD's, they are home DVDs I created using iDVD.Yes, easily. Since home DVDs are not copy protected, VOB files can be copied to your hard drive and converted by any number of free/low cost third-party convertes. MediaFork/Handbreak will perform the conversion directly from the DVD. There have been several discussions in this forum which deal specifically with the topic of the relative merits of different applications and the settings that may be used with each.

  • How to put dvd project into quicktime movie?

    I am doing some slideshows in iPhoto and in iDVD and want to get them into iTunes. Some I have been able to drag and drop into itunes but some will not work that way. Some show the green + sign but do not copy. I have tried to import  to itunes and that does not work. From what I have read it looks like I need to convert to quicktime movie first but I have not been able to find anything that works to find how to do that. Please help.

    iDVD encodes your projects for burning to a DVD and that is it; however, iMovie can share to a variety of places (online) and to iTunes. FWIW, your movie is in a quicktime format before you get it into iDVD - it is formatted there as an mpeg-2 (I believe) which is the standard for video on DVDs  to be played in DVD players.
    So, why don't you use iMovie? It is a lot better than iPhoto; if you wish to use iPhoto, make your slideshow there and then import into iMovie.

  • Why doesn't home DVD upload into program to edit?

    I recently transfered a bunch of VHS tapes to DVD using a Samsung VR-330 machine.  They play great on every TV in town, however, I need to edit these DVD's and they will not upload into Premiere.  I have contacted Samsung and they transfered in a MPEG2 file.  I also called Adobe and they can't help.  Then I turned to my IT guy and he said I will need to convert the format.  To what? and is there an easier way to do this.  I am making a 20yr anniversay tape for a girl at work and will be taking snapshots out of these videos, making a slideshow with music.  Please help.  Thanks!

    Welcome to the forum.
    Unfortunately, your DVD recorder does not create 100% DVD-compliant VOB's, which is very common. This ARTICLE will give you some background, plus suggestions for programs to "rip" the VOB's from that/those DVD(s).
    Good luck,

  • Import Home DVD's

    How do I import home DVD's into my iMOVIE?

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:

    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    If you are running Lion:

    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • Converting DVD content to Quicktime format

    I have a DVD that won't play in our standalone DVD player but it will play in the Mac. Is there any way to convert this DVD material into quicktime? Or anything that will allow it to be imported into Final Cut Pro. Thanks!

    Yes.
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    You may need additional codecs (DivX) and the MPEG-2 Playback Component.
    Export from Streamclip to DV Stream. This .dv file can be opened by any DV editor.

  • Export from FCP directly into DVD studio pro?

    Is it possible to export from FCP directly into DVD studio pro? If not, what is the preferred file format because my exported quicktime files come up as "incompatible format" when I try to add them into my DVD project. Any help is appreciated.

    You need to encode audio as well from Compressor. You'll have 2 files - audio and video.

  • Import home video DVD's into iMovie

    I want to import my home video DVD's into iMovie for editing and backup. What is the best way to do this? I have already tried creating a disk image, but somehow when I open these images with iMovie, some parts of the original video are missing. (for example the video on DVD is 60 minutes, but the video opened on iMovie is 50 minutes). I also tried to convert to MPEG 2 using MPEG Streamclip, and purchased the MPEG2 Playback component from Apple Store, but it turns out that this component was intended for earlier versions of OS X, so I could not even install it. I am currently at a lockdown, please help me out!!!

    There are directions on the MPEG Streamclip website on how to get the MPEG2 Playback component installed on your computer (I'm assuming your running Mac OS X 10.7). I'm cutting and pasting them here in case someone else runs into the same problems.
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.

    Also read the information for Snow Leopard below.
    Snow Leopard and MPEG-2 Playback Component
    The Snow Leopard upgrade DVD released on August 28, 2009 may wipe the content of the /System/Library/QuickTime folder during the upgrade process, and delete your MPEG-2 Playback Component installed in that folder. To use MPEG-2 files with MPEG Streamclip you have to reinstall the MPEG-2 component or restore it from a backup copy.
    If you are going to upgrade to Snow Leopard
    Open the /System/Library/QuickTime folder and drag the QuickTimeMPEG2.component file to your desktop to make a copy of it. Then upgrade to Snow Leopard. When the upgrade is complete, open the /System/Library/QuickTime folder again and move the QuickTimeMPEG2.component file from the desktop to the /System/Library/QuickTime folder (enter your administrator password if necessary).
    If you already upgraded to Snow Leopard
    You have to reinstall or restore your MPEG-2 Playback Component.
    If you have a Time Machine backup of your System folder, then open the /System/Library/QuickTime folder, enter Time Machine and go back in time until you see the QuickTimeMPEG2.component file; select that file and then click Restore.
    If you purchased the MPEG-2 Playback Component from the Apple Online Store, then you probably still have the DMG file that contains the installer. Use Spotlight to search for "QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg": if you find a file with that name, double-click it and then in the disk image, double-click the installer package for Intel Macs.
    If you purchased the MPEG-2 Playback Component from the Apple Online Store but you can't find the QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg file, you can download the file again from the Apple Online Store if you remember the Apple ID used when you originally purchased it (if you forgot your Apple ID then go to Apple iforgot). Visit the Apple Online Store, click on "Account" in the store menu, then click "Downloadable Software Purchases," enter your Apple ID and password, and click the link to the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component to download it again.
    If you obtained the MPEG-2 Playback Component from the installation of Final Cut Studio, then you can reinstall it again from the Final Cut Studio DVD. Insert the DVD and use the Finder's Go menu > Go To Folder... command to get to the /Volumes/Final Cut Studio/Installer/Packages/ folder inside the DVD. Locate the QuickTimeMPEG2.pkg or the QuickTimeMPEG2Pro.pkg installer: double-click it to reinstall the MPEG-2 component.

  • Can i burn quicktime files to watch on  home dvd player?

    is it possible to burn some movies i have downloaded onto my computer, which i watch with quicktime and real player etc, to be able to watch them on my home dvd player as a film?
    when i burn them now, it just does them as files and it wont play on my dvd player?

    Yes. There are various ways & 3rd party software that will do all the work for you.
    I am assuming you are trying to burn using Disk Utility?
    It’s a good idea to verify the disk image before burning it. Simply mount the image, and open you DVD PLAYER app. When that’s done, go to FILE and OPEN VIEDO_TS folder. Choose the VIDEO_TS from within the mounted image and then press play. It should play back now as a dvd.
    Step 1. Launch Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities).
    Step 2. Click Burn on the Disk Utility toolbar (upper left).
    Step 3. Navigate to where you saved the DVD image.
    Click on the image file, then click the Burn button. Do not drag and drop the image file into Disk Utility during this step.
    Step 4. Insert a DVD when prompted and proceed to Burn it.
    Another help source (if you haven't already done so).
    Open Disk Utility.
    At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle.
    This will bring up the Help Menu.

  • Mpeg2 DVD VOBs Video and Audio into QuickTime ?

    How can I read the mpeg2 VOB files from some DVD that we created into QuickTime Pro with the MPEG2 playback component ?
    We have an app that does video and audio processing built on QuickTime. After the processing is done the result is written to an mp4 file using QuickTime export. We now have to be able to read DVDs that we create into this app (QuickTime), and after processing we must se the QuickTime export option to create the mp4 file. These are not commercial DVDs and are not copy protected. I'd like to just be able to read the mpeg2 video and audio directly into QuickTime but I haven't yet found a good way to do this. Here is what I have tried:
    1) I can read individual VOB files with QuickTime, but I don't get any audio and I need all the VOB files as one.
    2) I have used MPEG Streamclip to open the DVD VOB files and exported the demuxed mpeg2 video and aiff audio. Both files open together in QuickTime but since the total size of the video is over 4 GB the video and audio are off and drift more so throughout the video.
    3) I used libdvdread to read the DVD and create a single MPEG2 file. This can be read by QuickTime but I don't get any audio. From what I understand this is muxed video and audio which QuickTime doesn't understand, but is playable by VLC.
    I think I could probably ulibdvdread to read the VOB files into a muxed MPEG2 file, then use ffmpeg to convert this to a very large DV stream, then import that into QuickTime, but there has to be a better way than to do the lengthly and large file size conversion to DV which is not a format I ultimately want.
    Before we go and write our own, I'm looking for a simple way to read the mpeg2 video and audio from a DVD format directly into QuickTime and preferably something that can be integrated into our app and not use another commercial stand alone app.

    OK, I can't tell you what we are doing, you'll have to trust me that it's for a very good cause. I'll simplify the use case as an example. If I can do the following we'll be OK:
    1) Read video/audo files from a DVD that we created
    2) Open these files with the QuickTime Player, click on Export to Apple TV to create an output file.
    I'd rather not do an interim conversion of the video data (like use a 3rd party app to convert to mp4 first and then read into QT, but I'm considering a conversion to DV) because that could seriously hurt the apps effectiveness. I also can't use another app (MPEG Streamclip, HandBrake, VisualHub, etc.) to do the conversion.

  • Exporting 16:9 file to quicktime and importing to dvd studio pro

    Please help I am using final cut 7. I just exported a Dvd anamorphic movie file to quicktime file. The completed file is a 4:3 where the anamorphic image is squeezed. When I import into dvd studio pro to burn a dvd it stays as a 4:3 file and is then being encoded as 4:3.
    When I exported the file  from final cut i used current settings ( as in my final cut audio video settings it is DV anamorphic)
    How do I export retaining the 16:9 ratio?

    In DVDSP, in the graphical view, click on the track to select it, and look at the the track inspector (menu View > Show Inspector). Make sure the track Display Mode is set to 16:9 Letterbox. This will play the track full screen 16:9 if played on a 16:9 TV, and will automatically letterbox it if played on a 4:3 TV.

  • Only part of IMovie HD movie will export into Quicktime

    I'm trying to export a movie from IMovie HD into Quicktime, but the video will only export up to a certain frame, while the entire audio exports. Hard drive space isn't an issue. I tried saving it on an external hard drive with a ton of space and it did the same thing. It doesn't give me a message, it just doesn't include the video after a certain point.

    Hi
    a. Does it indicate low on free space ? NO THAT'S why I parrot it !
    Only internal (booth/start-up) hard disk counts.
    b. QuickTime is the heart of iMovie, iMovie HD, FinalCut Express and Pro.
    If it doesn't work - non of above will
    c. There should be ways to mighrate material to FinalCut. I only know howto

  • How do i export movies from my home dvd to final cut?

    I have a home dvd that has a compilation of movies. I am trying to get one of these movies and import them into Final Cut Pro. When I opened the DVD, two folders come up: Video and Audio. Video has all of the movies that are on the menu, when I imported that file into Final Cut, I could not get any audio. When I went into the audio folder, there are no files inside. Any suggestions on how to get the movie in one piece with audio and video linked so that I can edit it?

    You shouldn't need to bother with leads coming from your DVD player at all. As others have said use either of the software solutions given and both of these will handle the audio. The two folders you found on the DVD are standard (Audio TS and Video TS) but, weird as it may sound, the audio is actually within the video TS folder.
    The software mentioned will also extract the audio for you from the video TS folder.
    If you can get the original tape - in my experience extracting from DVD is no where as good as the original file but if you are stuck then it is better than nothing.
    Best of luck,
    Michael

  • Can I make 1080i into progressive before exporting to DVD?

    This excellent post explains how my HV20 1080i60 footage can be made progressive by using the ProRes setting:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306389
    However, doing this sextuples the file sizes, and I have 50GB of footage on this project and needed it all on my MacBook, so it was a no-go.
    Is there a way to apply this ProRes now that I have my project edited in timeline (4 minutes) before exporting to DVD? Or could I somehow use the ProRes setting itself (rather than one of the DVD export settings) to export the project to burn on a DVD in DVD Studio Pro?
    Or is applying a Deinterlace filter going to do the same?
    I would keep the framerate at 29.97, as it is destined for broadcast.
    Thank you,
    MaW

    Thank you very much for superfast replies.
    You are right about the broadcast, I just checked the Viacom submission specs, and for HD it says “MTVN requires delivery of 1080i (16 x 9) aspect ratio program material, at 29.97 frames per second (59.94 fields/sec) for broadcast.”
    It would be quite silly to go from i to p to i.
    I just wanted to do everything I could to make it look less sharp and videoey (being a $1,000 CMOS camera...)
    I am now trying to add some grain with the CGM plug-in...
    Very interesting about the Deinterlace Filter vs. Frame Controls.
    Which one of the four should I select?
    (Fast (line averaging), Better (motion adaptive) Best (motion compensated) and Reverse Telecine)
    I would want the best possible result, of course.
    Also, should I leave the ‘adaptive details’ box checked?
    For future reference, if I wanted to export 1080i timeline and make it progressive, could I still follow the article instructions and select Reverse Telecine (I’d probably keep the framerate at 30)?
    This would seem so much easier than having to do the pulldown on ALL your footage before starting to edit...
    Thank you
    MaW
