Extracting material off of a de-encrypted DVD

Can this be done in iMovie?
I have video footage on a DVD. It is not encrypted but when I attempt to import it into iMovie it tells me that it isn't a movie file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

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...

Extracting iDVD off Tiger Install Disc

I have an iBook without a SuperDrive. Just purchased an external DVD burner. How do I extract iDVD off the install discs since iDVD is not an application on my iBook as yet?
Thanks.

If you're referring to a purchased copy of Tiger then iDVD won't be on it. If iDVD came with your computer you will have to get it off the discs that came with it.

DVD Studio Pro2 does not let you turn off the subtitle in the DVD Player

Hello
When I create a DVD in DVD Studio Pro 2 with subtitles and I do not activate the VIEW option beside the Subtitle (in Advanced tab), it does not let me turn the off the subtitle in the DVD Player.
What could be the reason?
Thanks for your help
Christoph

Thanks for your interest to help me!
What I did in the three different language selection I selected the audio track and the subtitle.
But I did not select by any flag "View" = which would force it to play the subtitle.
Is there some where else where it has the force option to play always subtitles?
On the DVD Player I can change the subtitle but *not turn it off* by Mac, Win, and external Player.
Thanks and Greetings Christoph

I think the DVD player reader on my Mac is going bad. Is there a way to copy the files off of an Apple Install DVD onto an external drive and then do theinstall from the external drive?

I think the DVD player reader on my Mac is going bad. Until I get it fixed Is there a way to copy the files off of an Apple Install DVD onto an external drive and then do theinstall from the external drive? It's ILife 11 if that makes a difference. Finder won't let me see the files to copy. I know - dumb question.
Thanks.

Adding an SSD is not a simple endeavour like adding additional memory or adding another hard drive to a Mac Pro. That's probably why the option is only offered as an option at the time of purchase. Even if your Apple store was willing to install the necessary parts you will probably be paying for 1-2 hours of labor plus the cost of purchasing the necessary service parts (SSD, bracket, cables, etc) which I suspect will make the upgrade cost much higher than what it costs to add the SSD option when purchasing a new system.
I use my system for business and need it to work reliably. Even though I'm fairly handy with tools I would not be willing to risk damaging my system and voiding my warranty by opening my system and removing the logic board and several other parts in order to squeeze in an SSD option and attach the appropriate cables and brackets. I'm also not prepared to deal with the hassles of explaining why my system has unauthorized parts installed in the event I experience issues and need to make use of my Apple warranty. My time is valuable, so I would probably investigate external storage options, or if I needed the speed of an SSD, I would consider selling my existing system and then purchase a new system configured with an SSD.
If you haven't already done so I suggest doing a search on 'iMac SSD installation' to see what's involved. It might help you understand why the SSD option is not offered post purchase.

Extracting episodes off of a DVD sperately?

I swear the LAST DVD on iPod POST.
ok, so i know how to get DVD movies on tom my iPod 5G. But when u are extracting a DVD, (ex. Family Guy Season 2), is there a way to get each episode seperately, so you can choose which episode you want to watch?

Depends on the software you are using for the extraction process. DVDBackup, for instance, extract only at the VOB level. HandBrake does try to segment the material but may or may not be able to correctly make such distinctions. Forty-TwoDVD-VXPlus can extract at chapter level and as such is my choice for the extraction of, say, individual Doctor Who, Avenger, etc. episodes from a DVD.

Whats Best way to extract material on a Standard DVD and use within FCP

Hi, I don’t have too much time to research this one (sorry if its already been posted, I’m in a rush!) .. but I’m editing using ProRes LT on my timeline. I have a standard definition DVD and need to extract footage form it so that I can edit it into my timeline.
Without using expensive tools, is there a recommended method to doing this and still retain maximum quality (or as near to maximum quality?)
thanks in advance..

How can I extract a piece of video from a DVD ?

Dear all,
I recorded a DVD of a TV broadcast. I'd like to get an extract from it and use it in a presentation later (such as powerpoint).
How can I extract the piece of video ?
Is is possible to record it with quicktime (for example) or any other application ?
thanks for your help
Didier

MPEG Streamclip and the Apple MPEG-2 component will allow you to edit the VOB files off the DVD and export to MPEG-4. Searching here will provide this answer several hundred times as it is asked a LOT. More so for iPod users. You cannot export or edit and then export MPEG1/2 with Quicktime unless you do not need the audio as there won't be any.

How to extract "chapters" from a burned self-made DVD- what app?

Hello again.
I recently lost my external LaCie 250GB (it stopped working after power cable was pulled accidently) and with it ALL my daughter's older, original music MP4s and original iMovie files.
Now- I DID make 5 DVDs of them BEFORE this happened but I would like to make more and incorporate the original 7 songs in this project. So- long story short: I need an application to "rip" my own work OFF the DVD to "reuse" on a new one.
I realise I will lose quality but hey- beggars cannot be choosers.
Does anyone know of a free or reasonably priced "ripping" software to let me extract from my home-made DVDs?
Thank you.

the unspokable MTR is a ripper.. it strips-off the copy protection of commercial DVDs.. absolutely NO need for homebrewn disks, and I really don't understand, why so many people 'recommend' that tool for a process, you simply accomplish with the Finder (non protected disk: drag'n drop onto harddrive... done)
plus, a conversion from lossy mp2 (=DVD), to lossy mp4 (which most rippers support...), to lossy mp2 again (=new DVD)... that is beyond my horizon ... (??)
for converting just parts of a DVD, the usual reply is the combo of Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free) .. it allows to set In- and Out-point in the DVD's content and converts straight into iM/iDVD 'native', internal format dv-stream...

How do I turn off computer monitor when watching DVD movie on TV monitor?

I think this is really a Leopard question because it involves setting up 2 monitors in System Preferences within OSX. 1) I have a wide screen TV connected to my iMac (Intel White Late 2006) through the Mini-DVI port and a separate audio cable. This connection works fine. 2) The purpose of the TV screen is only to watch DVDs using the DVD player and iDVD in my iMac. 3) In System Preferences->Displays->Arrangement, both my computer monitor and the TV screen appear as separate monitors. I have the setting to mirror each other. With this setting, the DVD movie plays on both the iMac computer screen and on the TV screen. 4) FINALLY, MY QUESTION: When watching a DVD on the TV screen, I would like to turn off the monitor in my iMac so that the screen is dark (in sleep mode to save power, etc.); I want only the TV screen to display the movie. How do I turn off only the iMac screen? Thank you. Dale

That's impossible. It can only be done on a laptop but not on an iMac.

Single Standard data source which extracts material master and vendor master data

Hi all,
I have a client requirement where user wants to view material master and vendor master in a single report. Is there any standard data source which extracts both the data together..
Thanks!
Arvind

Hi,
Two are different master info objects and can't get them from one data source.
think about multi provider or info set on two master data objects to club them.
Info object - 0MATERIAL and data source - 0MATERIAL_ATTR
Info object - 0VEDNOR and data source - 0VENDOR_ATTR
Thanks

Problems Extracting Raw off 5d Mk2 with PSE7 on Windows 7

Hi
Anyone had any problems extracting the RAW photos off a 5dmk2 camera using PSE7 on Windows 7.
Basically, the problem occurs when the the camera has Raw files on aswell as jpegs. When I select the option to get files from camera or card reader, I can select the device and then the camera is analysed and the number of files counted. Fine. However, if I then press Get Photo's the window kind of freezes, nothing happens and the window can't be closed. If there are just jpegs on the camera then there's not a problem but I want to be able to use Raws.
It works fine on Windows XP SP3 with Raw plugin 5.4.
I've tried all the raw plugins I can up until the latest one that is suitable (v5.6).
I'm not confusing the 32bit or 64bit versions.
I'm following the exact instructions on installing the raw plugin's properly.
I've tried all sorts of different settings in Windows compatibility mode.
I've run as the administrator.
I've read numerous posts to see what solutions people have to related but not identical problems.
I don't want to process it separately and turn it into a company's own file format first (forgotten what it was), I just want to use the Raw files in the same way that they worked on Windows XP.
Don't know what else to try.......
Can anyone please help?
Thanks in advance.....

Ok.... I've got a work around but there's a definite bug here..... not sure why this should happen.
Basically, the only way I can extract the raws off the camera is to import a new raw from a folder i.e. 'File > Get
Photos > From Files or Folders'.
Then if I go to 'File > Get Photos > From Camera or Card Reader' everything works as it should, the files get extracted
from the camera.
Assumed it would be working ok permenantly after having to do that yesterday, but couldn't get raws off again without
repeating the steps above......
....wierd....it's almost like it needs reminding that it can handle raws before extracting.....
I know someone on another blog said they had the same set up and didn't have a problem, but I wonder if it's something
subtle in the differences between our base system setup......
Anyway hope this helps give people a work around if they encounter the same issue?
If anyone has a permenant solution please let me know as I don't want to have to rename and then reimport a raw file
everytime I extract photos......

Can I extract a frame from a RoxioPlasma -created DVD into PSE10?

Mac User (LION w/2Gb memory)
PSE 10
Several images were writen with RoxioPlasma onto a DVD and plays well in iDVD. I want to extract several frames into PSE10. Is it possible to do it (do I need a plug-in?)?

When you say "Extract a frame", do you mean saving one of the frames as an image from Photoshop?
Here's what you can do:
1. Open the video in Photoshop, File > Open, and choose the .mov file.
2. Once the video opens in Photoshop, open the Animation panel, Window > Animation
3. In the Animation panel move the playhead to the desired frame, and save it as an image, File > Save As.
and Voila!
Any questions, just ask. I'll be more than happy to help.

How to extract material deletions into BI ?

Hi experts,
Suppose if a material is deleted on R/3 side, how to extract the data of that deletion of material into bi system. Is there any field which is updated when a material is deleted ?
Please give the technical name of the field and the specified data source.
Regards,
Naveen .

Hi,
you can´t delete materials on the R/3 side. It can be only archivated, if you don´t need it any more. You lost the archivated material if you delete the master data for 0MATERIAL (or another infoobject you use) on BW side and you make a full upload for master data from R/3. There is no update field for archivation.
regards

Solaris 10 hands-off installation from a bootable DVD

Hello,
I have a problem with installing the Solaris 10 using a bootable DVD with a flar archive. I want this installation to be totally hands-off, but unfortunately after I run this boot command at the ok prompt:
ok boot cdrom - install ...
the system is rebooted and the interactive Solaris Installation Program is launched:
{color:#3366ff}-- The Solaris Installation Program
The Solaris installation program is divided into a series of short sections
where you'll be prompted to provide information for the installation. At
the end of each section, you'll be able to change the selections you've
made before continuing.
About navigation...
- The mouse cannot be used
- If your keyboard does not have function keys, or they do not
respond, press ESC; the legend at the bottom of the screen
will change to show the ESC keys to use for navigation.
{color}
{color:#3366ff}
F2_Continue F6_Help
{color}
On the next screens I have to choose the NFS4 domain:
{color:#3366ff}-- NFSv4 Domain Name{color}
{color:#3366ff}NFS version 4 uses a domain name that is automatically derived from the
system's naming services. The derived domain name is sufficient for most
configurations. In a few cases, mounts that cross domain boundaries might
cause files to appear to be owned by "nobody" due to the lack of a common
domain name.
The current NFSv4 default domain is: ""
{color}
{color:#3366ff}NFSv4 Domain Configuration
{color}
{color:#3366ff}[X] Use the NFSv4 domain derived by the system
[ ] Specify a different NFSv4 domain
Esc-2_Continue Esc-6_Help
{color}
After I select "Continue", the installation is proceeding automatically.
Could you please tell me what I should to to make this installation hands-free?
The sysidcfg file contains these parameters:
system_locale=C
timezone=PST8PDT
timeserver=localhost
terminal=sun-cmd
name_service=NONE
nfs4_domain=dynamic
network_interface=primary {netmask=255.255.255.0 protocol_ipv6=no}
security_policy=NONE
I have found some information in the internet, that I need to create the
.NFS4inst_state.domain file in /etc directory. But it doesn't work...
I have also read that I need to edit the post installation script, but as far as I know this script is executed after the installation, so it doesn't affect the solaris Installation Program that is launched after the first reboot.
If you could give me any tips on how to resolve yhis problem, I'd be very thankful.
Regards,
Przemek

I had similar, not identical, issues with a custom JumpStart DVD I was creating. I was not using flar and it was for x86, not SPARC.
I found that changing the case for the value assigned to network_interface made a difference. In looking at the sysidcfg manpage and online JumpStart documentation, all the examples they used had capitalized "PRIMARY" and "NONE". When I changed the value to the capitalized equivelant, my particular issue had gone away.
You may also want to consider adding ip_address and default_route to the network_interface section. Test either way to identify the differing results.
In my particular scenereo, I did not want any networking configuration to be done. The resulting line in sysidcfg was:
network_interface=NONE {hostname=jsclient}HTH
