From DVD back into iDVD

I have a slideshow on DVD-R that I created in imovie, shared with iDVD and burned onto a DVD. I erased the original. Is there a way that I can open the slideshow back into iDVD? Save it to the harddrive?
Thanks

Hi xct&fcoach
Perhaps but you will lose some quality.

Hi
My list on this.
*DVD back for futhur editing*
A. don't put a mini DVD into Your Mac unless it’s a trayloaded DVD burner/reader
B. iMovie’08 prob. 09 can import from DVD (homemade without copyprotection)
C. Read what Karsten collected.
D. I prefere one of two
• Copy to miniDV tape from set-top DVD-player --> Camera -or-
• Roxio Toast™ - Can back convert to streamingDV for iMovie or FinalCut
DVD back to iMovie.
.. and here the complete 'full 9 yards' ... .

DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and
made for any processing as editing... or, as honorable forum member
QuicktimeKirk stated. I use the analogy of the old Polaroid
"instant" cameras. Push the button, wait for the print to develop and
show it off. ..
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$) + Streamclip (free)
• Cinematize >60$
• Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
• Toast 6/7/8/9/10 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
• Drop2DV (free) a free tool claiming to convert DVDs into dv-stream...
• Use iSquint for your conversions . www.iSquint.org
from. Bobby Keene
none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

Bring dvd back into imovie to re-edit?

I made an imovie - successfully brought it into idvd - and burned a dvd. I showed it to my client and they wanted some changes. When I made the changes I saved a copy of the project (64 GB) which filled up my remaining hard drive space to capacity. I deleted the old movie to make room but the NEW movie (with my new edits) won't open (must not have fully saved properly...). So now I have nothing to work from. The only thing I can think of is to try to bring the .dv file back into imovie from the dvd I burned...will this work? Can I edit? Is it encrypted?

You will need to convert the DVD back into a DV file for imovie.

AFAIK, you can't author a DVD using iMovie - again, AFAIK, you need authoring software such as iDVD or Toast Titanium or something similar.

PROBLEM SOLVED "export clips from Color back into FCP & add transition"

If I have two clips that you cannot place a transition in between here is the only thing that worked for me.
I discovered this problem after I exported my movie clips from FCP 6 to Color and imported the color corrected files from Color back into FCP 6. I could no longer add transitions to any of my clips unless I made the following changes.
1. 1st check to see if the video clip has an audio track underneath it. If they are not linked Select the audio and the video track to be linked, hit Command "L" and you will see an underline under the audio and video name to show that they are now linked. Do the same for the adjoining video and audio track.
2. Next select all of the clips after the video clip you just selected by typing "tttt" this changes to the "Select All Tracks Forward Tool". Click on the track after the video track you just linked and it will select all of the tracks thereafter. Hit the "A" button to change back to the selection tool and move all of the selected tracks away from the previous video/audio track.
3. Next type "RR" this will change to the "Ripple" tool. Now click on end of the video track on the previous video clip and type -15 (for negative 15 frames). Then click on the beginning of other video clip to the right that you linked and type +15 (for plus 15 frames).
4. Type "tttt" to change back to the "Select All Tracks Forward Tool" the hit the "A" button to change back to the selection tool and drag all tracks back together again.
5. You may then drag and drop your transition in between both video clips.
I hope this helps someone...this is the only thing that worked for me!!!

I am working with mostly DVCPro ftg, with a few clips in MiniDV. I did have roughly 10 clips with speed changes, but they exported fine two weeks ago, when I did this the first time. (Actually, it didn't keep the speed changes, but it did export with media to FCP).
The clips do have reel numbers and seem to be of the right length per clip but there's just no picture and no assoicated media with which to relink the clip.
I'm on Color 1.5.3
Any possible ideas? Thank you for your help...

HDV exported from FCP 7 into iDVD has red/green moire pattern?

Yesterday I was testing some native HDV (1440 x 1080) in FCP 7.
I exported it as a QT Movie as I used to in the good old days but when I imported it into iDVD the image was coverd with a greeny-red moire type pattern.
It wasn't a serious problem as I simply re-exported as ProRes and that cured it.
However, I am curious as to what may have caused it as it never occurred in the dim and distant past.

Thanks for testing and confirming my findings Russ.
I didn't get this problem back in 2008 as native HDV, FCP and iDVD worked OK together . . . at least in that respect.
However, in those days I was using FCP 6 and I wasn't using OS X 10.6.8 or later. So maybe there has been a change in FCP 7 or the OS that has caused the problem.
OK, long answer to Michael as to why I was doing this "test".
Back in 2008 I bought a new iMac and a Canon HV20 HDV camera expecting to see a dramatic improvement in image quality . . . . which I did . . . . on the computer .
I hadn't mastered DVDSP and Compressor and preferred to use my familiar iDVD which did everything I needed.
So I plonked my edited footage in iDVD and burned a standard def DVD.
I was horrified to find that the DVD footage shimmered badly where any straight lines or fine detail appeared but even worse was the appalling judder that occurred with any subject or camera movement.
I spent several weeks investigating and testing, deinterlacing, swopping fields, converting to AIC and ProRes etc. etc. to no avail. (Incidentally if I set my camera to downconvert to DV during capture, the DVDs produced were fine, but I wanted to edit those beautifully detailed HDV images not DV ones).
Finally a suggestion from Tom Wolsky solved the problem . . . . . put the finished edited project in a DV-PAL sequence in FCP and render it.
The result was rock solid images and beatiful smooth motion.
However, the downside was the time it took to render the HDV project to DV which I found unacceptable.
So I gritted my teeth and taught myself to use DVDSP which got rid of the problem of instability but introduced other, admittedly lesser, but well documented problems. But that's another story.
Now we come to the present.
Last year I bought a Panasonic SD800 3 MOS AVCHD camera, edited in FCP X and exported either to AVCHD Discs or standard DVD.
A few weeks ago I was showing a friend how to use iDVD and the only footage available was my AVCHD stuff.
I used it, expecting the same (or even worse) instability as I had found with HDV.
To my pleasant surprise, the resulting DVD was acceptably stable with smooth motion.
So a couple of days ago I started wondering whether HDV in FCP X and iDVD would be OK.
It was, which meant I could go back to iDVD occasionally when I wanted one of its custom canned menus.
Then I wondered what HDV in FCP 7 sent to iDVD would produce.
Hence my recent test!
I bet you wished you had never asked, Michael.

Import DVD back into iMove

I burned an iMovie slideshow in toast onto a DVD.
Apple then replaced my HD.
I lost the project on my HD,and a lot more stuff.
How can I import the project back into iMove from the DVD?
I keep geting a error message. When I try.

You need to use an application that will convert MPEG 2 video to .mov or DV. There are many that do this including Toast 7, Cinematize, MPEG Streamclip or QuickTime Pro with the Quicktime MPEG 2 Component, DVDxDV and many others.

How to import from iPod back into iTunes?

Old computer (with iTunes synched to iPod) crashed and died suddenly, with effectively no recovery ability for iTunes Library.
'No problem', I thought, because the music's all still there in the iPod...right?
Yes, but I know see iTunes 'synch' function wants to delete the iPod music because it doesn't match the music now in the (newly downloaded onto the new computer) iTunes Library.
Any ideas on how to sync music backwards, i.e. from the iPod back to iTunes???

I can't speak for other people or other systems, but after a puter crash (and recovery) here's how I got all my iPod songs back into iTunes using Windows XP:
1) While holding Ctrl+Shift, plug in iPod to computer (via USB cable).
2) Still holding Ctrl+Shift, if iTunes opens, close it.
3) Open My Computer (on Desktop) and click on iPod.
4) Find file called "iPod Control" and copy it.
5) Create new folder (anywhere) and paste "iPod Control" there. It will take several minutes to load.
6) Right click on new copy of "iPod Control", choose "Properties" and uncheck attributes "Read Only" and "Hidden".
7) Disconnect iPod from computer and open iTunes.
8) Click "File" at upper left then click "Add File to Library".
9) Browse for your new folder, open it to find "Music", open "Music" to find "F00, F01, F02, etc.
10) Open "F00" and hit Ctrl+A to select all files in "F00", then choose "Open" from popup menu. Files will copy to iTunes.
11) Repeat procedure for "F01", "F02", etc. until all files are copied.
12) Do not delete new folder.

Any way to get music from ipod back into library after hard drive crash?

I just survived and am recovering from a hard drive crash. For some reason, on my backup, I only retained about 500 of my 2500 songs in my library. All of my music is intact on the ipod however. Is there any way at all to resolve this issue and get the music from the ipod into the libary, or in the alternative, any way to back up the stuff on the ipod? Thanks.

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible - Windows version only)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Itunes got erased, can i transfer from Ipod back into itunes?

Greetings,
I did an update to my Apple and all of my itunes and iphoto got erased. The songs are still listed but there are exclamations next to each song and they wont play. I didnt have it backed up in time machine because i didnt realize i had to (im a new mac owner and currently in the process of hooking up my time machine). However, I still have every song and picture still on my IPOD Classic. Is there anyway to transfer them from the ipod back into my computer, or are they erased from my computer for good? Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to iTunes/preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
An alternative method is to connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'Command + Option' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Try iPodDisk. This is a program designed to transfer music from iPod to computer.
Similar programs are Expod, Yamipod, Senuti and Music Rescue.
If you want to retrieve playlists, iPodRip has the feature enabling you to reconstruct them.
If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in "my computer" in Windows or Finder on a Mac, open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
Disk Use.
If you only copied the photos as thumbnails, you can't do this so you'll need a program such as this one.
iPod Photo Copy. (Windows only)
iPod Photo Liberator. (both Mac and Windows versions available)
Photos as thumbnails won't be of the original quality when copied back to your computer.
