How do I import 8mm from a DVD?

I had an outside service put some old home movies (8mm) on a DVD. How or can I import this from the DVD so that I can add Titles, sound and also edit?
iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

Or, to put it another, kinda more helpful way...
Do a search for "Streamclip".
I'd tell you, but I don't know enough about it. It will certainly do what you want, though.
Cheers.

  • How do i import footage from a dvd that i made on imovie, back into imovie?

    How do I import footage from a dvd that i made on imovie, back into imovie?

    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.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    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.

  • How do I import video from my dvd drive?

    I made a video in an older version of iMovie sometime ago. I would now like to import that video again into iMovie to update it. I cannot figure out how to add the clips to my events from the DVD drive. I can't believe there is not a simple way to do this, although I may be too simple to figure it out!

    Does anyone know how to do this?? The movie that I'm trying to import was created in iMovie on another Mac.....I burnt the movie onto a DVD, and I'm trying to import it into iMovie on a new Mac.
    Any ideas or suggestions are very much appreciated!!

  • How do I import movies from a DVD into iTunes?

    I have a movie that I'd like to load into iTunes and watch on my iPod. How do I do that?

    If it is a home movie, then convert it to a compatible file type and drag into itunes.
    If it is a commercial DVD ( you purchased it, like a movie or tv show), then it is illegal to break the encryption used to stop people from copying the dvd. Sorry.

  • How do I import video from a DVD-RAM disc?

    Hello-- I'm not sure this is the right place to ask this question, but...
    I have a Panasonic DVD recorder and I recorded something on a DVD-RAM disc. I was hoping I could import the video to iMovie, or even play the video on my Mac, but I am unable to do either. The file on the disc that seems to have the data on it is called "VR_MOVIE.VRO" but none of my applications seem to recognize it. Does anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    DVD's (most) use MPEG-2 format.

  • How do I import audio from a dvd?

    There is a song on a dvd that I want to import into iTunes. I searched all through iTunes store, amazon & the movie companies website, but there is no soundtrack available for sale.... or by the musicians anywhere.
    Is there a program that will record any audio that I play on my mac, and then I can import that audio into iTunes?

    It's currently unclear if actually copying a DVD is illegal. What is illegal under the Digital Milennium Copyright Act, is breaking the encryption on commercial DVDs (a necessary first step in copying). Recording the audio as it is played by your computer (what is sometimes called the analog loophole) is still, apparently, covered under the older fair use laws. So, as long as you're just recording the sound for your personal use, I think you're okay. Burn it to CD and sell or distribute it and you've crossed the line

  • Can you import video from a DVD?  If so how

    Can you import video from a DVD? I have some home DVD's made on my PC. My PC program (Roxio) allowed me to pull clips off of a DVD, but I can not seem to figure out how to do it with iMovie on my Mac.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Hi, I'll see if I can help. The only way I know of importing directly from iMovie off of a DVD is with a converter box hooked up to an external DVD player. However there are a few freeware programs you could try. One is Handbrake, with it you can convert your DVD into a MPEG-4 file, this is incredibly easy however the quality will be a little lower than that of a DVD. Another program is MactheRipper which will rip the entire DVD onto your hard drive but you will have to hunt through all the files to find the ones you want. I hope this helps.

  • How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names?

    How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names? Message says "file already exists in catalog"

    I am viewing your question from different perspective, that is, the issue that you face when you are ripping VOBs from a second DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc using Premiere Elements,
    It is best to give the Premiere Elements version and computer operating system that it is running on. In the absence of that, I will generalize.
    Assuming that you are using
    Premiere Elements 12
    Add Media
    "DVD Camera or Computer Drive"
    Video Importer
    Typically the Video Importer Save In: is C:\Users\Owner\Videos
    Each of your DVD discs is going to have the same names for the ripped VOBs (VTS_01_1.VOB and so on depending on the duration of the movie). Consequently, after the ripping of the first DVD's VOBs and their save to Videos, you will end up with that "files already existing..." block for the ripping of the VOBs from the second DVD.
    The answer is, for each DVD disc VOB ripping, to plan ahead and create and set for different folders in Videos in the Save In field of the Video Importer.
    Please review and then let us know if that works for you. Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
    Thank you.

  • Problem Importing Footage From a DVD

    I had posted a question about a week ago asking how to import footage from a DVD into FCE. Per Tom Wolsky's suggestion -- thank you very much-- I connected my DVD player to an analog/digital converter in order to capture my video material. Although FCE is recognizing the DVD player (evident by the fact that when I click "capture" the video is displayed in the capture window ), however, FCE won't actually capture the video when I click "capture now".
    When the "capture now" window pops up it displays the message: "Waiting for time code. Device must be in VTR mode when device control is enabled." I can't figure out how how to correct. It seems that I'm only one step away from my objective of capturing the DVD. Would appreciate any guidance to get me over this final hurdle. Thanks.

    Yes. ANY time you want to capture from a non-timecoded or non-controllable source, use that setting.

    How can I import contacts from another AIM account to this new one??

    Hi,
    Use AIM for Mac and use the Export and Import features.
    Other than that it is a question on making sure every Single Buddy has more than just their Screen name in the IChat Address Card so it is added to the Address Book and dragging them back from there
