How do i copy movie dvd in terminal

i've found over my many years of using computers how powerful the command line is, especially in unix and linux, so i think this is possible. i also have the same videp in .mp4, and that may be easier to encode to dvd compatible format and burn a dvd. google simply lead me here so i signed in and search had no answers and offered the ask question box.

The main flaw in your logic is thinking that a DVD's format is some kind of computer file. It is not a file, it's a continuous stream of data that computers have to convert to files. The process of ripping a DVD is what a ripping software does to create files that are useable on computers. More software, i.e., iDVD, would be required to convert those files back to a stream of data when creating a playable DVD.

  • 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.

    how do I copy a DVD onto my macbook pro?

    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.

  • 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.

  • How do i copy a dvd movie to my hard drive

    Can anyone please tell me how to copy a home made movie from DVD to my hard drive? I'm trying to add it to Apple tv, and it's in a TS format and I can do nothing with it. I mean, when I made it, I made a beginning, which my titles are sitting on. And I want to keep the part that is the beginning, and then be able to choose which title I want to see, but I can't get anything to copy the beginning, only copies the three videos. It's very important to have this beginning, or whatever it's called while I choose a title. I was told to copy the DVD to my hard drive, but it won't copy. Now what?
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • Reasonably new to  a mac, how do i copy a  dvd  so i can burn one to disc

    hi all, new to this, how do i copy one of my dvd , so i can burn a spare copy to disc

    It depends on a few things 1st Your Mac must have a Superdrive which is a CD/DVD Read and Write Hardware.
    Next If you have to use the Finder, or Software to Burn it. If it is a Commercial DVD Movie there is Software out there but we are not able to talk about it here because it is a Violation of the Terms Of Use.
    If it is not I suggest you use the Finder and it won't cost you anything but the Blank DVD.

  • Copying Movie DVD

    I wish to take a movie DVD  or a Movie BluRay and copy this onto my hard drive… subsequently I want to do the following:
    1   Make a complete DVD copy for my own private usage. I am NOT interested in doing anything illegal and my understanding is that in EU it is allowed to copy a DVD for your own usage.
    2   Have the ability to build a large DVD library on a very large HDD (several cascaded together) so that I can use this for my home cinema and put the original DVD's (and the backup) in a box somewhere.
    3   I want to be able to select  short amount of video / sound track and have that in a format that I can import to Premier Pro (AVI etc)
    Does anyone have any suggestions how to do this? Which software do I need to buy or download that achieves the above with 1:1 quality (ie no compression) and removes any encryption in the process.
    Many thanks
    regards

    Hi
    I have read the Terms of Use and do NOT see a conflict.…ould you clarify.
    I assume that the concern is about the legal position  with respect to encryption, and copyright laws etc. I believe that in Europe we are permitted to make a backup copy of a DVD and place this on a HDD. Also I believe that I can use for personal use on my Mac parts of a movie video as I have legally bought the right to view the movie albeit within the home environment with my family, which is all that I wish to do.
    Thanks for clarification.
