How d I copy a dvd movie onto a blank dvd?

I just got my i mac and new to apple. I am trying to make a copy of a movie to a blank dvd and I don't know how to do this, can someone please help me or tell me where to look for this help? I would greatly appreciate any help I can get. I't for a christmas present. thanks for your help!!

is it a Christmas present of a commercial dvd? .... or is it something that was authored using iDvd? If it's a copy protected dvd / commercial product then please also read apple's terms of use to the right of this page. If it's a burned dvd which you personally authored you can use apple's disc utility or Toast to make an identical copy.

    That's a proprietary interface.
    Odds are there is no adapter. Ask Sony.

    If it's a home DVD copy the files to the computer.  If it's a commercial DVD you don't because it's illegal to do that and also against the terms of use of this site to even discuss.

  • HT4053 how do i copy my dvd's to my iPad

    How do I copy my DVD movies to my iPad?

    Sorry, but if you're referring to copy-protected video DVDs, which most commercial disks are, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries), so we're not allowed to discuss it here.   Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie for use on portable devices. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature.
    If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. Once converted, you just drag the movie into the iTunes window on your computer and you can then sync it to your iPad.
    Regards.

  • 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 it is blank even though it is not.  My question are: Why does my computer think it's blank? And how can I copy a DVD?

    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

    TV video typically is copyrighted content.  We'd be breaking several rules trying to help you.  Good luck!

  • How do I copy to dvd to watch on my normal tv

    How do I copy to dvd to watch on my normal tv.  I bought it so I assume I own it in the same way as if I bought a dvd from a store, so I would like to sit down and watch my programs and or films I buy on itunes on my normal tv set rather than in my office or on a small screen.  If I am unable to do this then there seems little point in decluttering my life from DVD boxes etc to buying online content.

    Just like a DVD you buy from a store you limited rights to watch the content you have purchased. For iTunes protected content you are allowed to view and copy it between your autorised devices, not transcribe it to a different format. You can transfer the file between your devices over a computer network, with a memory stick, external drive or data DVD, but copying it to standard DVD Video format is not permitted.

  • How do I copy a DVD to my mac, and then trim it to upload clips to YouTube? They are not copyright protected DVDs.

    I am trying to take a DVD (non copyrighted) and be able to add 10 min clips of it to a YouTube Channel. How do I copy that DVD to my Mac and trim the clips I want to upload. Thank you.

    Copy the DVD to your desktop, then:
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    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.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion and Mavericks even though they have it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
