How do I convert DVD to VHS?

Hello,
I have several DVDs which I'd like to copy to VHS cassettes, using my computer. These are DVDs that won't play on my set top dvd player but will play on my G4. I have an ADVC-100 DV Converter, but it doesn't seem to let me send a signal out to a vhs deck. Any help very much appreciated, as these are to be shared with a family member in another country who can play vhs but not dvds.(we sent her a USA standard NTSC deck)
thanks,
Keith

Your video converter should be able to work in both directions. I've not tried to record using a video display TV adapter cable (like that which comes with a PowerBook), but in theory, it's just sending a display signal to the TV, so the VCR should be able to record that analog signal. Any video file the Mac can play could be recorded this way.
G4s have Firewire connectors that can pass video/audio digital signals back and forth. None come equipped as standard equipment to accept/convert analog video to digital; that has to be done with a converter like yours or with some camcorders (that have a pass-thru feature).

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

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

How do I convert DVD to quicktime format?

We shoot HS Football games on a Canon HD camera - they are edited down to about 10 minutes each and processed as DVD. I would like to upload the video to mediafire in QT.
How do I convert? or what do I need?

Handbreak is definitely the best way. It is free and they have lots of presets to choose from. The downside is the conversion usually takes realtime unless you have a powerhouse desktop powermac.

Or look at this:
Hopefully in answer to the many posts on “how to get various video formats onto your iPod” I have put together a summary of applications I use. I have tried a few others with varying amounts of success (some of which are free) - I have finally plumped for the software produced by Xilisoft as providing good quality video relatively affordable cost for use withPC’s and numerous MS operating systems. The link below takes you to their site which not only allows you to download trail versions of their software but also has a comprehensive set of tutorials and FAQ's for their iPod video conversion software.
I have regularly used these applications to convert various file formats to iPod friendly video. They are simple to use although frequently processor and RAM hungry:
Use Xilisoft iPod Video Converter if you want to:
[*]Convert various video file formats to MP4
[*]Convert most audio file formats to MP3
[*]Extract audio from video file and save to MP3
[*]Encode several files simultaneously
[*]Pause encoding process to run other CPU time consuming programs at any time
Supported file formats:
Video:
[*]MPEG(mpg, mpeg, dat, vob); WMV; ASF; AVI; QuichTime(mov, qt); MPEG4(mp4); 3GP; DV(dv,
dif); Real Video(rm); Animated GIF(gif - decoding only); Macromedia Flash(swf - decoding
audio only);
Audio:
[*]MPEG Audio(mp2, mp3); WMA; WAV; AU; MPEG4 Audio(m4a); Real Audio(ra); OGG; AAC; Raw
AC3(ac3); NUT Open Container Format(nut);
To convert DVD's to an iPod friendly video format:
Use Xilisoft DVD to iPod V4:
[*]Just pop the DVD in your drive select compression variables (default settings work well) and sit back!
All these products are available on a "try before you buy basis", yes there are applications for XP which are free but and may work just as well but I have converted many hours of video for my iPod without hassle using the Xilisoft products (no I don't work for them!). Check there web site HERE

How best to convert DVD to Xvid or DivX

Hi guys,
I really don't have any idea where to post this question - but I thought I would start here!
I have been searching the community and have found various posts on my issue, but still remain a little confused on exactly the best way to do what I need to do (I may be completely dense as a relatively new Mac user.....).
I need to convert DVDs to either Xvid or DivX so I can put them on a usb drive. I have previously used Handbrake, but it seems that Handbrake no longer allows output to Xvid or DivX?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Thanks again. Understand about the copyright issues.
In regards to my non-commerical DVDs (personal videos and the like for my son to watch on a portable dvd player), Handbrake enabled me to output to MP4 and MKV but not Xvid or DivX.
Are you aware of any converters that output to the formats I need to copy the files across to a usb drive (Xvid or DivX?)

How can I convert dvd's to import them in final cut express 4?

I try to import .VOB .IFO .BUP files from a dvd. I want to edit that dvd and add titles but I can't do anything with it. Quick time wont open it ether.
It's probably a basic thing that I should know. But I don't.
Can I do it or I need a special software to convert it???

Hello it's me again. I think I was too happy, too soon. I downloaded mac the ripper and ripped the dvd. Now it's in my sequence folder but in the same format. Is there something I didn't understand??? Final cut wont open it...

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
http://www.kaisakura.com/fortytwo.php
For similiar apps do a search on versiontracker.com
That creates a gorgeous 700-1 GB divx (mpeg4)

How to convert dvd format to HD AVI

How do I convert DVD format to HD AVI or HD MP4 from either iMovie or iDVD applications, please help, thank you

You need to convert them to mp4 or m4v. Handbrake is good for this. Mpegstreamclip and Format Factory(pc only) also work. they are all freeware. I'd recommend the handbrake since it also has presets for ipods and i think the ipad, and it has a queue feature....meaning if your dvd has several clips on it you can set it up to do all of them without starting each one individually.

Converting DVD's to ipod

I'm sure this has been asked hundreds of times, but here it is again. How can I convert DVD's that I bought (not stealing) to my ipod. I am running a wimdows computer. I have tryed Videora, No luck! There has to be an easy way. I just want to drop in my DVD and just like a CD put it on my ipod. Am I asking for too much?

Download DVD Shrink
(http://www.dvdshrink.org/what.html). Then re-author
the DVD so it only rips the main movie (no menus or
extras), and convert it with Videora. It is not a
fast process, but it works well.
I tried this but only came close to success. After ripping with DVD Shrink (making sure to only select main title), 5 separate 'pieces' of the film were created in VOB file format. Although DVD Shrink did leave two complete copies of the movie in the destination folder, Videora did not recognize these because they were IFO files. Even after chnaging file type to all, Videora would still not transcode the complete movies files in IFO format.
Is there something simple I am missing?

Thanks! But when I visit the site recently, I found the program was upgraded. Now it has 2 optimized output formats specially made for iPod 30G and 60G players! Thus it is easier and more convenient to use without complex settings as other software. Try it at http://www.imtoo.com/downloads/dvd-to-ipod.converter.exe
Another good news: there was a new discount suite ImTOO DVD to iPod Suitethat contains both the DVD to iPod Converter and iPod Movie Converter. It saves newly $20! Hope this can do some help
