How do i download a dvd to my hard drive

please guide me through the steps on what to do thanks

Not too sure what you are after here?
A. You have found an image of a DVD on the web and you want to download it.
B. You have a DVD and you want to copy the contents onto your Hard Drive
C. You have a DVD Movie that you want to rip for archive purposes on your HDD
D. You want to copy a DVD Movie and encode it in a compressed format that OS X can read?
E. You want to copy the holiday video from a DVD Movie you made so you can edit it and make another home movie out of it.
Options C and D come under the Millennium Copyright Act and this being a US website they probably don't want the discussion to occur here.
For Option E. - In general most Mac Users look at Handbrake and MactheRipper for getting video out a DVD Video formatted disk.

  • How do you save your DVD to your Hard Drive, and then convert to iPod?

    Hello everyone, I was wondering how you save your DVD to your hard drive and then convert it to the iPod Video.
    Please respond.
    P.S.
    I know that it's been discussed all the time, but none of the posts are useful for me.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The best option is to pull the card out and plug to your computer UNLESS your computer does not have a card reader. If your computer did not have a card reader, you need to map the cardreader on your printer to your network using the following method:

  • How do I download mountain lion onto new hard drive

    My IMac 2.4  mid 2007 was starting to get very slow in opening applications. I rebooted the machine, it displayed the apple and then a circle with a line through it and would go no further. I have put it down to the hard drive, and have purchased a new one. My question is, how do I install mountain lion that I have already purchased to the new hard drive. I would appreciate any help on the matter

    You need to get your computer up to at least 10.6, using the original installer for your Mac, or a retail copy of 10.6.3. Then update to 10.6.8, and using the App Store, sign in with your AppleID, go to Purchases, and re-download and install 10.8.

  • How to re-download PS Elements (on replacement hard drive) without paying for software a 2nd time?

    My hard drive completely died and I lost all my files and programs.  (I usually have everything backed up but unfortunately my back up drive had had issues about a month before and I hadn't got around to getting it fixed - lesson learnt the hard way!)
    I now have a brand new hard drive in my laptop and need to re-download and install PS Elements but I don't want to have to pay for it a second time. 
    How do I do this?

    Have you bought the PS elements or you were using it as the trial?
    If you have bought the software then you ca download and install the software as you did earlirer.
    and also please tell us your OS and verison of PS elements.

  • How do I download files on my crashed hard drive?

    My hard drive crashed on my HP Pavilion dv7-4165dx Entertainment Notebook PC. I want files off it. I tried to download the storage drive on this site but all it gave me was nonsense. How do I get this information?

    If there is any life left in the hard drive you should be able to install it into a USB HDD Enclosure, plug it into usb port of a working machine and copy files off to hdd of host machine.
    Example:

  • How do you save homemade DVD to your hard drive?

    I just had a friend give me a burned DVD of video he took of an event.  I want to share it on facebook, but I have to find a way to get it saved on my lap top first.  I downloaded Xilisoft to do this, but it's still not working (even though the program said my info was successfully copied).  What am I doing wrong?  Help!

  • How do I copy a dvd to my hard drive?

    I have a short dvd that I would like to save to my computer. I think I have copied it but cannot play it. I am asked what program I want to open it with. The program suggested costs $50. I want to be sure that's it before I purchase.

    Put the DVD in your Superdrive, if it starts to play, stop it. Launch Disk Utility, click the "New Image" button, select your DVD, chose DVD/CD master, name it & save to your desktop.

    Drag them or the entire iTunes library there. If you want the active iTunes library to be there, once done, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose it.

  • Importing a dvd to my hard drive

    How do I import a dvd to my hard drive on my g4 powerbook so I can import it to my ipod nano for viewing? My operating system is osx 10.3.9

    I don't believe iPod Nanos can display video. If you are asking about importing music then you use iTunes to import from music DVDs. iTunes will convert the imported files to mp3s. After import you can then sync your iPod Nano and iTunes will automatically download to the iPod.
    You should find this explained in both iTunes Help (Help menu of iTunes) and the user guide for your iPod Nano.

    How can I download a dvd on my mac osx 10.7.4?

    I am assumming these DVDs are your own personal property and are NOT rented or borrowed DVDs.
    Once again, assuming that you own these DVDs, I recommend using Mac DVDRipper Pro to extract the content from your PERSONAL DVDs. I have it installed on my computer and it rips DVD's at maximum speed and uses very little processing power.
    You can find more info. about Mac DVDRipper Pro at the following link...
         http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31118/mac-dvdripper-pro/
    ... About converting the extracted video to a format that can be played on an iPod or iPad, I'll let someone else take a jab at that.

  • How do I download a DVD and transfer it into iMovie?

    Okay, so I have a few DVD and quicktime files I want to make into a movie. However, iMovie won't recognize them when I try to import them. Plus, how do I download a DVD onto my computer. It's sort of a home movie kind of thing and I want to send it to someone. And oh yeah, I don't understand a word of computer jargon, so in plain english if you could. Thanks.

    Hi
    There are no program as standard in a Mac that can copy a DVD to iMovie.
    You need to do it another way:
    • Roxio Toast™ can back engineer to streamingDV that iMovie can read/import - or -
    • Use a DVD-player and a miniDV tape Camera and copy to tape. This iMovie can import.
    Else:
    A. don't put a mini DVD into Your Mac unless it’s a trayloaded DVD burner/reader
    B. Read what Karsten collected:
    DVD back to iMovie:

    DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and

    QuicktimeKirk stated: I use the analogy of the old Polaroid
    "instant" cameras. Push the button, wait for the print to develop and
    show it off. ..
    for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in
    recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
    • DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    • Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
    • VisualHub (23.32$)
    • Cinematize >60$
    • Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    • Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    • connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
    • Drop2DV (free) a free tool claiming to convert DVDs into dv-stream...
    • Use iSquint for your conversions : www.iSquint.org

  • How do i download a dvd i have purchased from  a source other than itunes to my ipad?

    How do I download a dvd i have purchased from a source other than itunes to my ipad?

    Commercial DVDs are generally encrypted. In the U.S., it's illegal to break that encryption. Because of that, the Terms of Use of this forum prohibits discussion of software or methods.
    If the DVD is not encrypted, Handbrake is probably the most commonly recommended software.

  • How do I download my DVD Lightroom 5 on my iMac with no drive?

    How do I download my DVD Lightroom 5 on my iMac with no DVD drive? Is there another way to get the program on my computer? I have a trial copy currently on my computer.

    Just download the version from Adobe.com here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Macintosh&product=113
    and use your serial number. This is the current version and newer than what is on your DVD.
