Help in ripping a movie

I have a movie that I have to extract some clips from (with the director's permission) and I am having trouble. I used mac the ripper and dvdxdv and the process seems to work correctly but when I import into imovie, the frames are blank. I've done this many times before and never had this outcome. The original hd movie was edited on a mac. I appreciate any suggestions.

Okay, I was able to get it with Handbrake (great tip!) but now it's no longer in widescreen and so my daughter looks narrowed...is there a setting that I need to change? I spoke to the director last night and she couldn't understand why I was unable to get it with dvdxdv and mac the ripper. I'm not sure if it's because it was filmed in HD or not.

'Ripping' DVD movies for Windows

Is there anyone who could point me in the direction for an application that would allow me to rip dvd movies, but for Windows. All the other posts and applications I have found on the internet are for Mac, which is of no use to me.
Any help is much appreciated!

Welcome to Discussions. Try this thread David Fernandez, "How To Copy DVDs to iPod using free software for Windows" #94, 02:32pm Nov 2, 2005 CDT. An alternative product is PQ DVD, which does it all in one app, but it does cost £35 if you want more than 8-12 mins. With the above, also be careful with sound tracks, as it is easy to get the directors cut instead of the actors, so always do a small test before doing a whole film.

Hi DWSLAS,
You may not be allowed to duplicate the movie, but you are entitled to make a backup of it. I use a neat little program called Handbrake follow this link to download it and it will do exactly what you want! Good Luck!

Can anyone help me find my movies from my old PC?

Can anyone help me find my movies on my MacBook Pro from my old PC? I am on Mac OS X, Lion version 10.7.5, use iPhoto, and have a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor from late 2011. I had the geniuses transfer my old hard drive to the MacBook Pro a couple of years ago and now I don't know where they ended up. They are not in iMovies since today was the first day I ever opened that App!
I have searched through Finder but I only find a few of them. I am certain they are there somewhere, however. I read another discussion and it said to go to you HOME folder in finder. But I don't see a way to do that. So I have been searching by MOV in "All my files." Unfortunately just a few of them are showing up. Any new suggestions?

Thanks for helping out.
Yes, I should have mentioned that before. I have been searching This Mac too. In fact, I have been trying all kinds of queries to find them, hoping that I'll happen upon the kind of file they are. I tried .mp4 and found a lot of music stuff but not the family movies I am looking for.
Maybe you are right. Maybe they were some weird Windows only kind of file and they didn't transfer to Mac. The good news is that I have them all on the PC, which is still working. I just need to figure out a place to keep them that's secure so we don't lose them...

HT3775 For some reason my QuickTime player has stopped playing all my .avi movies, I can't seem to upgrade and it doesn't offer any solutions except that it may need additional software but not what or where to obtain it from? Help most of my movie are in

For some reason my QuickTime player has stopped playing all my .avi movies, I can't seem to upgrade and it doesn't offer any solutions except that it may need additional software but not what or where to obtain it from? Help most of my movie are in .avi!!

Google 'Perian' and 'Flip4Mac' — these are the extensions that will make QT play other file formats.
However, a simpler solution is just to abandon QT in favour of the free, open-source player VLC, which plays just about everything natively without further downloads.
Download the free VLC Player from here:
http://www.videolan.org
Plays just about everything, including avi & mpg, without add ons.

Please Help! Can't move forward.Portfolio Recovery and Stellar Recovery. WHAT'S NEXT?

I have the same story most have heard 100x. When I went away to college I racked up debt and made poor financial decisons because I didn't have a good concept of money and Credit. Credit like most teens was this invisible forever giving gift and if I paid the minimums I would be ok'. Suprisingly, my minimum wage retail job didn't provide a stable income and my balances grew. I got overwhelemed really quickly and instead of dealing with the issue. I did a out of sight out of mind. Fast forward to present and I am cleaning up all the mess I made at 18-21 Y.O. From this site I have made a some nice leaps to the right direction. Last year around this time I was at a 420 now I am at a 612! Recently got engaged and me and my Fiancee are looking to purchase a home by the end of this year/ begining of next year. My income is stable, my career is stable, I have a little savings. The only thing holding me back is CS. I thought my best way to move CS faster is to get my 2 Collections deleted. One is from Stellar Recovery for 152 (old comcast bill/cable) from 2013 and the other is from Portfolio Recovery for 676 (I think old BestBuy cc) from 2012. I sent Stellar Recover a DV letter it arrived today. I sent the letter because I have heard a lot of positive things about Stellar. That they delete a lot of accounts and they do so quickly. Also, with such a low balance, I am hoping they feel it's not worth the man hours to even try to look for the information. In terms of Portfolio Recovery I sent a DV letter but the address was wrong (got the alert today) so I called Fedex and asked them to return it. I think that might have been a great mishap. I have read many articles and PR and they seem to be known as the Sharks of the Debt Collectors and sometimes sending DV is a death sentence. I recently read article that you may not even be on their radar but when you send a DV you are letting them know you are a person who is conscience about his/her debt and wants to fix it; it's like blood in the water. They will now pursue you without abandon and possibly sue. My question is, should I send the letter or leave it be? I'm just worried since I am in SOL for both I don't want to draw unnessary attention but I also feel like a waiting duck and desperately want to move forward in my life.

In the same article the repoter was talking to some of the Employees. A staff memeber is quoted as yelling out "We got one" it was a man who had some really large medical expenses and had been unemployed for a very long time. As soon as he got his first paycheck they started in on garnishing his check. They are ruthless. I understand thay "we" owe debt and I understand it should be paid. But sometimes I think we forget about the hummanity of it all. Your post was really helpful. I can learn from what you went through and avoid PR NightmareCthulhunoodle wrote:
They absolutely do. They informed me they had another debt under my name. From 1997. Well past the statute of limitations on that one, but I'm sure it won't stop them. Thank goodness I'm smart enough to hang out on this forum and seek sound advice. And the kicker... at the end of the phone call in which I'd paid my years long debt, they asked me why I'd defaulted in the first place. "Pregnant, lost my job and had to move into my mother-in-law's house. Bad time all around." She asked if I was employed now. I answered in the affirmative. Who's your employer, came next. My answer: "I'd prefer not to say." I'm sure if I'd replied it would be logged in a database somewhere, waiting to be used.
and be on the offense of the situation and not defense.

HELP?! Quicktime movie rendered won't play?

I made a movie in After Effects and rendered it as a quicktime movie with Soren (Soerenson?) compression type. It played on my computer and some friends' both PC and MAC computers. Now I am out of town and trying to play it on a PC that was Quicktime version 7.1.3 installed. the music plays, but the movie is all scrambled with green and blue nonsense, you can't see anything in the movie. WHy would this be? HELP PLEASE!!

Thank you so much, that worked perfectly! Now can you explain to me what that did? Do I need to switch it back for them? So that I know in the future.

Need help, used to play .mov but won't now, how do i fix this??

I was havin problems with .mov, the screen is all white, but i can hear sound, the videos played before but now they won't and i have no idea how this happened or how to fix this, can someone please help or direct me to someone or somewhere that can??

A white playback area means you're missing the proper video codec.
Use the Movie Inspector window to find out what's used and a Google search to find that codec right your your machine.

Help playing my quicktime movie on keynote

I have a movie on quicktime. It plays perfectly fine when played through quicktime.
I am making a presentation using keynote. I want to make one of my slides that movie. So I do exactly as I have been reading. Ok, so the movie is now on the slide, but all I see are the little white squares around it, no actual movie. Those same white squares that you get when your trying to move or select an item for edit. Anyways, I say well maybe it will play when I play my slide show. Still no movie. Sometimes I get a blank page when I get to the slide with the movie. Other times I get the actual control panal to play the movie, but yet not movie is playing regardless of how many times I rewind, and play etc.
Can keynote play quicktime movies? If so what is the format they have to be in. The format of the movie in quick time is
Apple Animation, 983 x 552, Millions+
Please help, I really need this movie for my presentation.

In the Inspector section find the Transitions controls. For that slide, select the delay time for the same length of time of the clip.
Not sure if that will solve it but it's worth a try. That's how I got my QT clip to play.
Good luck.
