How can I convert Imovie DVD to work on a PC

I am trying to make a class video in imovie. I want to make DVDS for the kids that will play on PC's Dell Etc. or on their dvd players at home? How do I convert it in imovie to burn to a DVD that will play on a PC

Hi
There are two levels on this Q:
A. If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
• iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
• DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
• Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
• Burn - only free alternative I know of on Internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
only You can buy from Apple is
• FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
AppleMan1958
You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.
B. If You got a DVD authoring program - then
Making better or worse DVDs still occurs
• Brand of DVD matters - Cheap DVDs as Memorex and NoName known problem makers for VIDEO - I only use Verbatim
• Type of DVD used - I use DVD-R as they also play on older DVD-players - and NEVER +/-RW as they usually gives lot's of problems
• BURN SPEED - (Important esp reg. PC or playback on Mac that burned the DVD) - I set it down to x2 or x4 as this gives far less burn errors
Yours Bengt W

How can I convert imovie into photo's

How can I convert imovie into photo's

For iMovie 11, you will need to download a free tool called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5. (Google it). This is a very handy tool to have if you make videos.
In iMovie, select the clip that contains the frame that you want. Right-click on the clip and select Reveal in Finder.
You should see the clip highlighted in the Finder. Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip. Move the playhead to the frame you want. Then click FILE/EXPORT FRAME. You can choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG.

How can i convert a DVD(video_ts, vts, etc.) to use in iMovie?

HI
i have a DVD that I'd like to convert for use in iMovie. its composed of the following files.How can I do this?
VTS010.BUP
VIDEO_TS.VOB
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VTS011.VOB
VIDEO_TS.BUP
VTS010.IFO

Try this:
The following is AppleMan's recommendation for using MPEGStreamclip:
+I have found I get the best results when I use MPEG Streamclip (which is free). You also have to install the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component which costs about $20. Once you install the QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component, you don't have to interact with it, but MPEG Streamclip needs it.+
+Insert your DVD in your drive. If DVD player runs automatically, shut it down. You should see your DVD as an icon on the desktop. Open it is a finder winder. You should see a folder which has VOB files.+
+Open MPEG Streamclip and drag these VOB files into Streamclip. If it offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes. You can do the VOB files one by one if you want to deal with shorter clips. Or, you can drag all the VOB files at once and create one long clip, or use streamclip to separate them into smaller clips.+
+In Streamclip, select File/Export using Quicktime and choose Apple Intermediate Codec. You may want to check "Deinterlace" in this step. Try deinterlacing and see if you like it. It depends on your final target media as to whether this will help.+
+Now you should have MOV files in Apple Intermediate Codec which can be imported into iMovie.+

I own a license for Dreamweaver CS6 for Windows. I am thinking about buying a MAC. How can I convert my license to work on a MAC?

Is there a software update I can purchase to convert my license to work on a MAC? How much is it? Or are there any other options?

Depending on what Adobe considers "current software" you may or may not be able to perform a Platform Swap...
Order product | Platform, language swap
Since they do currently sell both the PC and Mac version of the CS6 Suite, I would guess they can do the swap. If not, moving to a CC Subscription does allow you to have the software installed on either or both platforms without issue.

How can I convert copied DVD's to play on iTunes/Apple TV?

I'm trying to convert my DVD collection to hard drive to play on my TV using Apple TV. I can rip the DVD's to HD, but don't know how to get them into iTunes so that Apple TV can access them. Any suggestions?

Assuming you have .avi or mkv files on your hard drive ( or most other formats!) download Vuze - the basic software is free - I've been using it for almost a year- never had lypsync problems. And it asks you what device you'll be sync'ing iTunes with the optimise the format.
Way no

How can I convert my dvd's to play on IPAD 2?

Handbrake is an excellent program. However, it will not bypass the encryption on a commercial DVD.
That's why Handbrake requires you also install VLC. It uses VLC to decrypt the DVDs.
Unfortunally, sometimes you come across a DVD with "extra" encryption that VLC can't decrypt. In which case, MakeMKV usually works.

How can I convert a dvd to play on a mac formatted vPod

I would like to put a couple of dvd's on for my daughter?

I guess you will need the QuickTime MPEG-2 playback component from Apple (20$), as well as MPEG Streamclip (free) or QuickTime Pro (30$).
Once you have these tools, I guess you could select the movie in QT Pro, and export as QT Movie (h.264). I don't know if you have to constrain the image to 320 by 240, but I guess yes. As I don't use QT Pro very often, I can't remember how to do it, but it should be possible.
I suppose you could do pretty much the same thing with Streamclip, but I've only used it once ...
You will have to get a ripper such as MacTheRipper to save the DVD to disk and get rid of the different protections.

I have some documents from apple works from OSX how can I convert them in Pages in OS Maverick? Thanks Harold

How can I convert documents from apple works to pages in OSX Mavericks? Harold

If you're using a version of Pages prior to 5.0, it can import AppleWorks 6 word processing documents directly. Otherwise, reopen them in AppleWorks and export them in a format that Pages can read; for Pages 5.0, those are listed here.

How can I convert MiniDV tapes to DVD? I've use a Canon GL 2 and an iMac about 1 year old. I'm trying to use iMovie and I've installed the latest drivers.

MiniDV was a great format, one I still use often. I also still use iMovie HD6 to process it and, for all the iterations of iMovie that followed it, I still believe it was one of Apple's greatest movie software programmes, next to Final Cut Pro, using a timeline method of editing. That was also in the day which Apple put Superdrives into their computers, so that you could not only make your movie in iMovie, but you could render it to iDVD and then burn the DVD. Now you need to buy an external burner.
Since iMovie HD6 and iDVD 6 were "universal" software, it has continued to work through the many OS releases since it came out with Tiger, I believe it was. So, it may still work with Mavericks too and, if you could locate a copy of iLife 06, probably used, you might enjoy the difference that HD6 has over all iMovie releases since then.
Not saying you can't process your MiniDV with current iMovie versions, but I'm not the one to speak about that.

How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money?

How can I convert my Tiger DVD into a CD without spending more money and time? I've spent over seven hours trying to upgrade an iMac 350 Hz OS 9.1 to Tiger. I have changed the iMac firmware to 4.1.9, but found that my Panther disc was only an OSX Upgrade, although the 3 cds are labeled as Installation Discs. Since I have a Tiger disc I thought I would use that. Unfortunately, my iMac only reads CDs, not DVDs. I tried networking the iMac to my G5, but upon shutdown, the OSX disc cannot be accessed. I copied the DVD files to my iMac hard drive, but again, the OSX disc cannot be accessed after shutdown.
Is there a way I can burn a CD from the files of my Tiger DVD to get this task accomplished?

Excuse me, but I never thought of that, nor did I have any intention of trying to rip off your company.
I purchased four iPods for my family this Christmas. I have six iMacs just sitting around not being used. I thought that I would turn one into an iPod work station, so everyone can use one computer to recharge and hook up to iTunes 7.
Unfortunately, iTunes does not work very well in OS9. Apple decided not to continue to support OS9 very well. I’ve spent several hours attempting to upgrade the iMac so I could set up iTunes 7. Unfortunately, my 3 Panther Installation Discs were mislabeled, and did not allow me to install OSX over OS9. My OSX 10.2.7 Installation Disc is a DVD, and my Tiger Installation disc is a DVD. Neither usable to update the iMac.
All I want to do is set up a dumb iMac as a network interface to my G5 because I've use all of the G5's ports for our recording studio and the iPods need external power source if they are plugged directly into the G5.
If you could show me an easier way to run iTunes 7 on the iMac I wouldn't be as ****** off as I am at Apple for not supporting the 9 older computers I own with usable help and upgrades.

I recently purchased QuickTime 7 Pro to convert avi files to mov files for editing on Imovie. However, QuickTime won't play the files. How can I get them to play and how can I convert them to mov files?

Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

Get a free app called MPEG Streamclip.
Available here.
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
Drag your clip or clips into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to export the clips in Apple Intermediate Codec.
Sometimes, MPEG2 clips also require that you install the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. This is available from Apple for $20.
