How can i convert my .dv home movies so that i can watch them using apple tv?

If you are using iMovie you can use the export function which should create an ATV compatible file that you can import into itunes.

How do I convert my DVD home movies (NTSC format) to mpeg 4 format??
3 yrs ago I had my home movies (super 8) onto DVDS (NTSC format.
I would like to convert to mpeg4 so that I can import into imovie and Quicktime player 10
I just installed Snow Leopard 10.6I would recommend that you convert the DVDs to Apple Intermediate Codec, then edit your movies, then share the final movie in mpeg4 (h.264). This will preserve the most quality. However, the method I will describe will also work to convert your DVD directly into MPEG4.
1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
3) Start MPEG Streamclip
4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically quit those.
5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to your DVD to the Video_TS folder.
6) Drag the .VOB files from the Video_TS folder and drop then into MPEG Streamclip.
7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
8) Use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like
9b) optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
11) Open iMovie.
12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/From File and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit. -
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'. -
How do I put several iphone 4 home video clips together on Quicktime so that I can watch them together on the one DVD as a movie. And what export setting do I use to play on a DVD player?

QuickTime Player is not itself able to do this. You need a proper DVD authoring solution such as Apple's iDVD. -
HT1498 rented movie on iMac how can I play on apple tv ?
rnted movie on imac, how can I play on apple tv
iMac need to be on with iTunes running and Home Sharing enabled on the imac and AppleTV.
Provided the movie has FULLY downloaded to the imac you should be able to play it on AppleTV using the Computers icon. The iMac may say it's ready to watch but it won't show on AppleTV until fully downloaded.
Under Computers you will have options for Movies, TV Shows etc.
Select Movies and any available rentals will be seen in a Rentals row that appears only when a valid rental is available to play.
Do not try to play from the main menu movies icon (logical if it allowed you to but it won't!).

How can I make my Apple TV work? I downloaded two movies, to play later, on April 4, 2014. I tried to watch them this evening only to get a message they are not available and to try later. How long can it take Apple to download the movies? I encourage anyone thinking about buying an Apple TV to get a different media player that is reliable. Apple TV is not worth the money, nor the time it takes to download movies, nor the effort trying to get your money back when Apple TV fails,and it failsl oftern.. Apple never seems to have a problem charging for the movies, but it frequently has a provlem delivering what people pay for.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore) -

How do I reformat itunes tv shows copied to my external harddrive so I can watch them on my tv through my media streamer (like I do with my other downloaded movies)?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel. -

hey, i want to ask
what is the bundled application? is that the thing like garage band/ i movie??
and if I'm erasing my hard drive is that will also erase all application that came with my computer? please i need answers as soon as possible. thanks
Correct, the second disc contains the iLife suite. You can customize which components of iLife are installed (iMovie, iPhoto, iDVD, Garageband, iWeb) outside of when you install the OS.
If you erase the HD it's all or nothing, it'd be a full wipe of all data, applications, and system files.
Given the steps provided for renaming the folder in that kBase article that's much easier than reinstalling the OS. Heck, I didn't realize it was so easy for 10.5/10.6! -
I just bought a used 1st Generation Apple iPad 64 GB, 3G. How can I open an Apple App account? I am trying to download a free app and it says I have to have an account, however, everytime I try to set up a new account I can fill only fill out some of the information but then the screen goes black and I cannot proceed with the account. At one point it said "no sim card" and I am not sure where one would go if I had one. Do you need a sim card to download free apps? Why won't it let me set up an Apple Account? Any suggestions?
I can think of no reason at all why you need a sim card to creat an Apple ID. Try this first - reboot the iPad and reset the memory.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Afte the iPad starts up again, follow the directions in this support article - exactly - to creat the account without a credit card.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
IF ... You are signed into another Apple ID on the iPad you will have to sign out of that ID in order to create a new one. Settings>Store - you can sign out there.
You MUST try to download a free app in order to start the process off correctly. If you were using an email address with another ID that you already created, you will have to have another email address to associate the new ID with. -
I installed some apps using an apple I'd that is no longer active. I can't update them because it asks for the password of the old I'd instead of the I'd I currently use. How can I change the apple I'd associated with these apps? I still want to use them. One app I paid for using the old I'd. The other app is free. I have already tried deleting them and reinstalling them.
If you simply just changed the email associated with that appleid you can just delete and Re-download the apps.
You can verify the above step by going to the App Store on device > Updates>Purchased - if you see the app there just delete it from the home screen and redownload from the purchased section
Now if you got rid of that account entirely, you will have to delete and re-purchase on your new account -
After a clean install, how can I continue using Time Machine?
After a clean install, how can I continue using Time Machine?
I booted from my recovery partition, erased my HD, installed the same OS, (Lion, 10.7.5) then restored from my TM.
If it asks if i want to use TM, I say yes. When I chose the drive, it seems to want to start all over, instead of just picking up where I left off.
Is there any way of picking up where I left off?Hi Frank,
You are sure you looking in your Library in /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Library and not /Library at the top level of your harddrive?
When you open iCal what do you see? Are the calendars the two default Home and Work ones?
I really appreciate the responses -- especially if you are in the UK as opposed to Ontario.
Why, do you have something against London Ontario?

I have produced a number of DVD on my iMac. They are stored in a folder called Burn Folder. I want to get them into iTunes so I can play them on Apple TV. I have tried to convert them to MP4s using Handbrake but Handbrake does not recognize these files. I am stumped.
If you have the original movie files, you'd be much better converting those, otherwise try MPEGstreamclip.
