How do I import a Dvd to i Movie

I have purchased a Sony Multi-Function Dvd Recorder Model # VRD_MC5. I can make a DVD form my antaloge sony Handycam Vision camcorder. It works great but when I go to I movie I am not able to import them. I can play them on my computer and they work fine. What do I need to do to make these files work on I move?

If they are home movies, then yes.
If they are commercial/store bought then no.
They are encrypted to stop you from doing just that and breaking that encryption is illegal.

  • How can i import mpg files in i movie

    how can i import mpg files in i movie?

    iMovie cannot edit mpg files, unles they come directly from a supported camera.
    I would suggest that you use a free third party app to convert it.
    Get MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5, which is free.
    Drag you mpg clip into MPEG Streamclip.
    Then, FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME
    Choose Apple Intermediate Codec, and save it where you can find it. You should be able to import this file into iMovie, using the FILE/IMPORT/MOVIE command.
    Note: If your file is an MPEG2 clip, you may need to purchase the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component from Apple. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. Don't buy it unless you have to. It costs about $20. You just have to install the component. MPEG Streamclip will use it in the background.

  • HELP! How do I  import a DVD?!

    Ok, maybe I'm just slow. I cannot figure out how to import a DVD into iTunes. I have read the manual, but when I tried to do it, the button it said to click on was not there. I've tried every other way possible that I can think of. In the manual it mentions that I have to convert the DVD, but it doesn't tell how or what program to use if any. Someone please help! I would really appreciate it.

    You need to convert your DVD to mp4 format.
    What you will need;
    A PC with
    1. Enough hard drive space to do the conversion
    2. A DVD drive to read the DVD
    3. Software to do the conversion
    4. Time for the conversion process to happen (I suggest you do NOT use your PC while it is processing)
    If you have #1 & 2, then you will need to get #3.
    I personally use 2 pieces of software to do the conversion. AnyDVD and CloneDVD Mobile. Check them out here; http://www.slysoft.com/en/
    The CloneDVD Movile allows for converting your DVD's to MANY different portable media formats. Just pick the one that you have (there are 2 different formats available for iPods, depending on what generation of iPod you own).
    You can also take a look at this web site for other software (some you can find there are free) and user guides on how to use these types of software; http://www.videohelp.com/
    Why should you not use your PC while doing a conversion? Because it's a labour intensive process for your PC. If you run other programs at the same time, you may affect the quality of your conversion. I use a separate PC that isn't connected to the internet and therefore doesn't require a virus scanner to be running all the time. That way nothing interferes with my conversion.

  • How do I import a DVD into FCP to edit?

    I have a DVD I made of home movies. When I try to import the stuff on the DVD it says error. It only imports the Video TS portion of the DVD..SO........that means the video shows up on my time time but NO AUDIO?!
    How do I import the video AND audio from the DVD?
    Can you help?

    Have you tried it and gotten no audio? Audio and video are both in Video_TS. The audio folder is for songs such as on a CD.
    Use MPEG Streamclip to translate to your desired format.

  • How do i import a DVD to my MAC

    i am trying to import or copy a DVD of a memorial to my MAcPro but cannot find any help topic for DVDs
    Please advise

    What's your ultimate goal here? Do you just want a playable copy of the DVD sitting on your Mac, so you can remove the actual DVD and still play the movie at a later date?
    If that's the case, you can create a copy in Disk Utility.
    If you want to actually rip the DVD into a movie which you can perhaps edit or include in another project, you need to use Handbrake.

  • How do I import multiple DVDs to my Mac hard drive and then burn them to one DVD?

    Hello. I need to know how to store multiple DVD movies onto one DVD. I've never done this before, so please bare with me?
    I was told to download a free software called "Handbrake", but I cannot find the free download for the version that is compatible with my 10.5.8 Mac OS X.
    Is there a way to import and burn the DVDs without downloading software?
    Thank you.

    yes, use Disk Utility.

  • How do i import a dvd into fcp

    is this even possible??? i need to know ASAP.
    i am making a pretty sweet movie, and i want to use some clips from star wars in my project.
    also, i downloaded a kick *** track by nickleback and want to put that over the scene where the ewoks dance. but for some reason it won't let me import the song i got off itunes into final cut. how do i get around that.
    hurry.

    Yes, it surely is possible to import DVD-content in FCP, albeit not directly. This question has been asked more than once over the last few days here. I'd suggest you dig a bit further instead of writing 'hurry' - unless that's your name.

  • How can i import a dvd recorded on PC into imovie

    I recently moved from a PC to a mac. on my PC I recorded old video tapes onto DVD's. I now want to put these DVD into imovie so that it can be edited
    The DVD is registering on the desktop, but imovie doesn't let me import it. any help with this would be very welcome

    If it's a standard set-top playable DVD it needs to be ripped. You can use MPEG Streamclip to do but you will have to purchase MPEG-2 playback component from Apple. You convert the media to QuickTime using the Apple Intermediate Codec.

  • How do you import a DVD into FCP

    Hi Brain Trust,
    Have DVD  of old footage and want to import to reedit and save to harddrive. Whats the steps to take.

    Most of the folks I know have MPEG Streamclip and use it for a variety of purposes – including ripping non-propected DVD's. There are certainly a whole host of convertor prodicts– but many people report conflict problems, quality problems, or format limitations. One product that you might check out is DVDxDV. I haven't used it, but there is a trial version.
    Good luck.

  • How can I import a dvd and do edit in final cut pro ?

    any software to convert dvd movie into avi for edit ?

    Hi:
    If you own the material rights, you can use MPEG Streamclip to reencode to an editable format like DV.
    Hope that helps !

  • How can I download a dvd into I Movie?

    I have various dvds of my daughter's dance performances and I would like to compile them and make a movie.  How can I download the movies into I movie?

    When you start up Handbrake, you will need to identify the source that you are copying. I assume you have an Optical drive by which you can read the DVD. Then it is a matter of clicking on the various options for the copying process, especially insuring you know where the copied file will be. It wil be in an MP4 format, which can then be viewed by Quickplay or QuickTime.. It can be also be imported into iMovie, using the import function under the File menu.
