How is best to rip DVDs that I own to my iMac then move them to my iPads so my kids can watch them during a long drive?

How is best to rip DVDs that I own to my new iMac for viewing on my iPads and iPods (for kids during a long drive)? I've read about a lot of options, but I don't find anything that sounds authoritative on what is the ideal way. There is freeware out there and a bunch of paid options. I don't mind paying as long as I know what I'm getting will work. I've asked a few buddies and haven't gotten any straight answers. It seems like everyone has their own way that has its own set of benefits and issues. Any strong opinions out there on what works well (especially for a rookie)?

Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
The backing up part isn't illegal, but in order to do this you need to break copy protection..this part is.

I have a DVD I recorded from my tv. I am trying to make copies and when I insert the DVD, I get a message saying the DVD is blank, which it is not. My questions are: Why does my computer think it's blank? And how can I copy the DVD providing my computer recognizes there is content on it?
Thanks, Sheila

How can i copy a picture that has been installed with the flash player

You can't. You can take a screen cap of it, but the container doesn't allow access to the individual images used in a SWF or FLV.

How do I copy a DVD -R format disc on an imac that has only one drive?

Hi - I have a 61 minute long DVD-R single layer DVD that I want to copy in an IMAC using my apple class subsciption (so I'll do it in an apple store). Can this be done? Do I Just bring in a blank DVD -4? What kind of IMAC or other mac does this and what apple software does it use??
(At home I have an IBOOK using leopard but the only software on this one is imovie 2008 so I don't know if this will work).
Any help offered would be great! Lisa

HI Steve - well I am stuck. The drive I have on the macbook I'm using at home is a combo drive and here are the stats Firmware Revision: GA0K
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw
Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds
So, does this mean it will not burn any kind of dvd? I bought blank dvd -R format (Fuji film made these) and when I put the blank into the combo drive it just spit it out when I got to the IMAGE BURN part of the apple instructions. Sorry to be so dumb but if my little macbook will not burn a dvd -R, if someone will tell me what kind of apple computer WILL - then I will do it in an apple class in the apple store since they have one of everything!!!
THANKS GUYS I sure appreciate any and all help! Lisa

How can I copy a webpage that will not let me highlight it, i.e. use the control c key strokes?

How can I take a picture of a webpage that will not let me use the control C copy command? In other words, on this particular website, I try to highlight a passage that I want to save and put in a document, but the highlighting will not work. I asked them about that, and they simply said they did not have that facility, but I think the issue is protecting their copyrighted material. I know there is some way to take a picture of the page, and then I can use my picture editing software to crop it and enlarge it.

Are you trying to take a "snapshot" in a PDF?
If the part of the page or PDF you want to capture is fully visible, you can use the Windows print screen function to capture it. Either use the Print Screen key to capture the entire monitor display, or Alt+Print Screen to capture the active window.
If you need to do this often, or if you want to save the snapshot straight to disk, or if you need more than fits in a single Windows screen shot, an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/fireshot/ Fireshot] can be handy.

I can not copy the DVDs that I made with iDVD

I have a strange problem: I can not copy from a DVD that I made with iDVD (my footage, nothing with copyright). When I try to make a copy from the first DVD that I burned I receive the message that i do not have enough privieges. I checked the "Get information" tabs and I see at the end "Only read" (not copy). This was the 1st dvd that I burned with my new G4 with superdrive.
Any idea? Thanks for the help in advance

Hi Texastea:
Welcome to the discussions!
Disk full (Error 61)

You don't have enough room for all of that. Run a disk repair and think about an external HD.

Using MacBook Pro running 10.7, how do I copy a DVD that is NOT commercially created, but was created on a Mac using IDVD?

Having a DVD that I created on a Mac, how do I make additional copies? I know from reading some instructions, to use the Disk Utility, but from there I don't see the inserted DVD to be copied on the left side, as the instructions say for step #2. Please help

Hello wrinkle2,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
The following article provides information on duplicating a DVD in Disk Utility.

To create a OneStep DVD:
Connect your DV camcorder to your computer and set the camera to VTR, VCR, or Play mode. Turn on your camcorder if it doesn't turn on automatically.
Open iDVD and click the OneStep DVD button. (If iDVD opens to a recent project, choose File > OneStep DVD.)
Insert a recordable DVD disc.
iDVD rewinds the tape in the video camera and captures the video.
------------or-------------
To burn a OneStep DVD from a folder:
Choose File > "OneStep DVD from Movie."
Locate the movie you want to add in the dialog that opens, then click Import.
Insert a blank DVD disc into the optical drive.
This kind of disc is sometimes called "kiosk mode" and is a good way to create demos or other presentations that play automatically and require no user interaction.

How can i copy multiple projects that reference one event without having to duplicate the event over and over for each project?

Each project has compound and regular media in them, and every time i attempt to duplicate the projects and have them reference one event on the new drive the rest of my media shows up missing and will not reconect. Wondering if anyone has had to tackle this problem. I have a limited amount of space on my Drobo thunderbolt drives and need to optomize it. Thank you

So i called apple and after a few hours on the phone and them taking control of my computer they pretty much told me they had never seen this before and were sorry they couldnt assist in any way. The long explination is that i work for a company that films their footage in one long take and then sends it to me to cut into segments, i then have to copy these small edits which are all in different projects and the one large event over to a new hard drive to give to a guy to put titles on and then send back to the company. when i do this copy of project final cut X forces me to also duplicate the event leaving me with "event" (fcp1) and so on depending on how many projects there are. When i dont duplicate event and project together the whole project shows up as missing media and final cut X does not recognize that the original footage is being lost and therefor i am not even given the oportunity to reconect media. I have tried all conventional ways of copying and transfering and have an extensive background in editing and have never come across this, but then again this is final cut X and something that i try and stray away from if i have a choice in systems.
to answer Tony im using copy project and event because it is the only option that works (copy project and used media works as well but only creates more confusion with having to rename files) I would prefer to be able to just copy the first project and event and then be able to source the rest of the project files from the first event i copied over.

How can I copy a DVD made from a video camera into a MacBook elsewhere?

I received a DVD made off a relative's MacBook, of her concert. Her friend used a video camera and downloaded it to her Mac, and she then burned it to a DVD for me. I don't have access to her computer. When I tried to copy the folder in the DVD to burn to another, it says it can't burn an alias. Is there some other way I could copy my copy?

Hi
Use Disk Util tool
• Start Disk Util tool
• Insert the DVD
• Select it in Disk Util tool
• Burn a Copy of it
I prefer to use Roxio Toast™

How can I rip a dvd that has not been finalized.

I need to recovery the video for work. I can clearly see the content has been burned into the dvd, but since its not finalized, I cannot access any of it. What can I do? What software do I need? I saw most forums suggest ISO-buster for PC users. Is there an option for Mac users?
