How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?

How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.

  • How do I convert an old home movie (UDF) format so that I can use it in iMovie?

    Years ago, before I was an avid apple user, I took my home videos and made them into a movie on a dvd -R through premiere elements.  Now this disk cannot be played anywhere.  I would like to convert this into iMovie 11  v9.0.2.  Any ideas?

    best to my knowledge, only 'videoDVD', the ones you stick in any DVDplayer to watch on TV, are udf-formatted.
    does it contain two folders, VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS?
    then, it is.
    use the forum-search about the well-discussed issue 'how to import a DVD'.

  • Can u convert a video into just audio?

    can u convert a video into just audio so i can play it on my nano

    Hi,
    thanks Stefan Maric and wew64.
    in the RTPSocketAdapter.java of the 'Implementing Custom Data Sources and Media Handlers' example I can take the groups of bytes previous to they where send for UDP.
    My Idea its take this bytes, make groups of 259 bytes and send them over the ISDN. In the Clients side recover this information and make groups with the original size (that I must send with the video information over my ISDN connection) and send them with UDP to the same host and receive with a regular JMF application.
    I am not sure if I will have problems with the synchronize of the video and audio doing this process, any idea??
    Thanks a lot

  • Can iTunes change DVD's into a .mov format ?

    So can iTunes change the format of a DVD into the format it needs to be put onto the video iPod cause this kid at my school says you can...But I put a DVD in and tried to import it and everything and nothing happened so am I doing something wrong or can iTunes convert DVD's to the iPod format?
    Thanks

    Yea I figured you couldnt but maybe so I asked...So just google it for what I already have 2 converters but one has a watermake that says "Trial Version" and the other one only converts 5min of the DVD and that Videora has to install online and keeps saying "Server Timed Out" and then I have to restart the installation process for it. So what should I google?

    I have an HP deskjet color printer that only prints in black and white from my mac ... how do I get it to print in color

    Check the printer itself.  Some printers you need to set the color & B&W settings on the printer itself instead of the Mac.   If that is not the case w/your printer, contact HP tech support and/or post in their forums if they have one. 

  • Converting dvd vidoes into a .mov format

    If I convert my DVD videos into .mov format files for the web, will the Quicktime player or plug in be the only available player to open these files. Basically what I am asking is does everyone have to have the Quicktime player or plugin available to open these files?

    .mov is a container file form, not a compression type. You can use any one of dozens of compressors for a .mov file. Widely used are mpeg-4 and Sorenson 3. Those will both play in QT 6. H264 is also being used a lot but it requires QT 7 to be installed.
    By the way, the QT mpeg2playbackcomponent will not export mpeg-2 format. It is playback only. Also, note that QT will not export sound from muxed files like mpeg-1 or mpeg-2. This freeware will export to various formats with the sound included. Note that there are both Windows XP and Mac versions of this freeware. Mpeg StreamClip

  • I can't convert a DVD video into my movie format?

    I can't used my Quick Time Software with all futures, I want to convert from the CDRoom a DVD video to movie format into my computer, would you help with a good solution.
    Thanks

    Are you referring to a commercial and hence copy-protected video DVD? If so, it's illegal in the US to attempt to break the copy protection, so we cannot help you with that question here.
    If that's not what you mean, please post back and explain further. Feel free to post in your native language if you're more comfortable that way. There are people here who speak other languages and can probably help you more quickly.

  • How can I convert my animation into a working movie clip that can be used with a new scene?

    Hello all,
    First and foremost, I AM A TOTAL FLASH NOOB. I want to preface this and make it incredibly clear how new this all is to me. I LITERALLY started using flash this morning; that is precisely how new I am.
    With that being said I am going to do my best to explain what I'd like to do.
    I have created an animation of a spider moving its legs back and forth. I want to be able to combine all of the layers into 1 simple animation that can be imported into new flash scenes with the animation exactly how it stands. I have figured out how to convert the whole animation into a symbol AND I have figured out how to import the movie clip from the library. However, herein lies my problem. When I open a new flash scene and import my animation, I play it and it does nothing at all. It's just the static image of the spider I created with no movement.
    I've spent the last couple hours trying to figure out (and doing my own research) what I have done or didn't do to get to this point. I'd be willing to bet I am just going about the entire process incorrectly and I'm simple overlooking a basic facet of the program.
    Any insight to fix my ignorance is greatly appreciated.
    (P.S. Hell, I don't even know if I am using the correct terminology so for all I know I am confusing every person who has taken the time to look at my question. If I am using incorrect terminology please correct me to avoid future hang ups. Thank you.)

    Ned! This totally worked! Thank you! I knew there was a tiny piece of this whole thing that was preventing me from making everything work. Unfortunately as my luck would have it, although I have the movieclip working the spritesheet converter I'm using now no longer recognizes the movie clip. The converter says there are 7 frames in the animation, but doesn't display any working sprites. Just a blank sheet. Frustrating to say the least.
    I'm just going to throw everything out on the table here:
    This is the video tutorial i'm using to convert my animation into a spritesheet. I've done the steps exactly as directly up until the point I actually click "Begin Conversion." When begin conversion is selected, it shows the movieclip exists on the bottom left underneath "list of movieclips" but doesn't actually show any individual sprites.
    Here's the simple sprite converter I am using.
    The irony of this whole situation is that you have successfully helped me make a working movieclip (which was the important piece), but the converter no longer recognizes it. Whereas before, it would at least show the image on the 1 frame of animation it had.
    If you wanted to to take a stab at it and see if you can successfully get it to work I'd be appreciative. If not, I totally understand as you have already been incredibly helpful and have my eternal gratitude for getting me this far. These animation programs can be quite overwhelming when they so vastly differ from one another. Don't even get me started no Anime' Studio Pro.

  • How can I convert table object into table record format?

    I need to write a store procedure to convert table object into table record. The stored procedure will have a table object IN and then pass the data into another stored procedure with a table record IN. Data passed in may contain more than one record in the table object. Is there any example I can take a look? Thanks.

    I'm afraid it's a bit labourious but here's an example.

  • I can't Convert midi files into any other format

    A few months ago, I was able to convert midi files into mp3 when one day, I updated iTunes using software update. Ever since the updates I had for my Mac it still hasn't work.
    It has this error that won't allow me to convert. I talked to my friend wrldwzrd89 who is one of my friends and he said that it is because Apple had a piece of data missing allowing midis to be converted to mp3, or any other format.
    Is this true or do you know the solution?

    I can't tell you the exact reason why it doesn't work, but there is an article about this problem and a solution if you have QuickTime Pro:
    iTunes: MIDI files cannot be converted in iTunes 6.0.3 and 6.0.4
    Not the last sentence in the article. That usually means they're working on a fix.
    No guarantee that it will be fixed in the next version however. We'll have to wait and see.
    Hope this helps.

  • L9: Can I pull 4 tracks into one Take folder so that I can comp them?

    I had a pro singer send 4 tracks, which are 4 takes of the same lead vocal. I'd like to be able to create a new take folder so that I can comp them. I RTFM but can't find info on this... is it possible?
    Also, the tracks were out of sync with my Project (my idiotic mistake!) so I needed to add 3.76 seconds of silence to the beginning of his tracks so that everything lined up. I could not find any easy way to line things up, nor could I add the 3.76 seconds of silence. I finally brought the tracks into Peak and was able to add the silence.
    I'm sure it's user error, so can someone show me the error of my ways?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Yes Christian,yes you can.
    OK, pull up your arrange, select all the audio you want to pack in the arrange window. right click on those files ( or ctrl click depending on the mouse you have ) Bottom of the menu, Folder/pack take folder.
    Happy days.

  • ITunes makes my CD's small. How Can I convert DVD's into a small file too?

    I bought my wife an iBook and would like her to be able to watch a movie just like she does the music. I've used Mac the Ripper to get it onto the computer, but I don't want it to be a 4 GB or more file. I've been able to use Matinee to select them, but isn't there a way to make them into the equivilant of an MP3... am I thinking of an MPEG 4.
    If so, is commercial software the only way available to do this.... I have Quicktime Pro 7. Does that do the conversion?
    Thanks, I hope this is a clearly written question.
    Dave

    you can export using the export from the menu in quicktime.
    But if you want to re-encode a DVD you could use something like Forty Two

    For similiar apps do a search on versiontracker.com
    That creates a gorgeous 700-1 GB divx (mpeg4)

  • How can I convert a video to a playable format?

    This is a combined iTunes / iPod touch question.
    I downloaded a video to iTunes. It is in 3pg format and it and plays perfectly in iTunes. However, when I tried to sync it into the iPod touch, it stopped with the error message that the touch could not play that type of file. So I used the "Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone" selection in iTunes and converted it to m4p format. Although this was able to load into the touch, it is corrupted to the point of being impossible to view or listen to. By corrupted, I mean that it "stutters" at a rapid rate. How else might I load the 3pg file into the touch, or how else could I convert it into something that is listenable?

    3pg is an odd format... That or I just never seen it before. :P
    iTunes just ***** at converting videos. So far all videos I tried converting with iTunes have resulted in the same error you got.
    You're better-off using 3rd party apps, and then copying to iTunes, and then copying to the iPod.
    Unfortunately I don't know of any conversion programs for Windows.
    If you by chance have a mac, this program works great: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/flv2itunes.html
    The mac version of Handbrake below works great, hopefully the Windows version does, too:
    http://handbrake.fr/?article=download
    When converting with handbrake, make sure to use the iPod preset for the out-put video.
    Hope this helps a little.

  • How do I make a video project file size smaller so that I can burn to a dvd

    I have made a 10 minute premiere elements 13 video which includes photos, video, music and narration.  When I publish it the size is 14.9GB which is too large to burn onto a DVD.   The size of the file seems extrodinarily large - is there a way to make the file smaller?

    Thanks for the great news that you have sorted out your issues.
    If it turned out that the Timeline Indicator stopped at 3 hour mark on the Timeline instead of the 10 minute mark, did you
    inspect that 3 hour mark by expanding the Timeline with the -+ slider above the Timeline  and inspecting that location for leftovers, fragments, clips that you dragged to the far right of the Timeline to get them out of the way, and the like? Often leftovers present as very thin black vertical lines scattered in the track(s). You need to delete them. When
    the spot is cleaned up, then repeat the process until the Timeline Indicator ends at the end of your intended content.
    We were glad for your progress.
    Best wishes
