How do i import dvds made with disk utility to idvd maker

I copied video from my flash drive movie camera to the disk utility and made dvds that work on any dvd player. How come I cannot import any of these files to idvd?

files on a DVD that play in dvd players are MPEG 2 files
iDVD does not ingest that
you could use an app like toast to convert the files into QT files that iDVD would accept
however, qualitywise it will not look very crisp
import your files from the flash drive camera (i suspect it uses the AVCHD-codec?) into iMovie and from there go ti iDVD

How to duplicate a dvd-r with disk utility

I made a home movie DVD+/-R. I actually was able to duplicate this one. I now have another DVD+/-R I'd like to duplicate and don't seem to be able to use the same steps I used for the other one.
I insert disc> quit DVD player> open disk utility> choose the drive (not the DVD altho when the first one failed, I tried choosing the disc itself)> click File> choose New> choose Disk Image from "name of my dvd"> rename disc in Save As field> choose "name of my dvd" in drop down destination field> choose DVD/CD Master from Image Format field> click save. The disc starts up like it's reading it and then I get the following error message box
Unable to create "SuperDrive". (no such file or directory) -- despite the fact I renamed it the error message always default to the drive name
or
Unable to create "DVD Video Recording". (invalid argument)
or
Unable to create "SuperDrive". (invalid argument) -- when I choose the VIDEO_TS file in the finder space just under the drop down destination field.
I also tried the (do all steps up to choose "click File") click New Image from the tool bar route, but I end up at the same drop down scenario I got before and still no duplication.
I did it once (the disk image is still on my computer to prove it) but can not for the life of me do it again. I've searched boards on the net, used search here but was told no answer was found for my question, so here I am. I have a MacBookPro running Mountain Lion 10.8.5. Nothing has changed since I duplicated the other disc except for the usual updates so I'm at a loss at the moment.

Try the procedure in this article:
Disk Utility 12.x: Duplicate a disk, CD, or DVD

How do you setup RAID 10 with Disk Utility?

I read a post that indicated a Mac Pro user created two mirrors and then striped them with Disk Utility to create a RAID 10.
I tried this but Disk Utiity will not allow me to stripe the two mirrors. I tried dragging and using the "+" button. In each case no RAID 10 could be created.
Could someone list the exact procedure for creating a RAID 10 using Disk Utility?
Thank you

I have Mac OS X Build 8K1124 and I believe that came with my Mac Pro as I've not required a Mac OS X update via Software Update.
Now, I have to honest, I'm not entirely sure that was the exact process. As you can appreciate I don't have another 4 drives to try this again so I'll do my best here.
It's definitely right up until the part of making the mirrors and unmounting them, that I know for sure. What I don't remeber is what I had selected to get to the RAID tab to create the Stripe Set. I believe I had one of the mirror partitions selected, that is, either "disk5" or "disk6", which brought up the RAID tab that then allowed me to create the stripe set.
I then created the set and then dragged the mirrors (I believe disk5 and disk6) into the set.
If you can't do this can you let me know how your situation deviates?

How to repair a filevault sparsebundle with disk utility?

I've been experiencing some oddness with my filevault home directory so I wanted to drop into disk utility and run a check/repair on it. The odd thing is, when I log out and into another account, the sparsebundle says 0k in the finder, and appears to be a directory. When I sudo to cd into the directory, it appears to work, but I remain in /Users/username. When I drag the sparsebundle into disk utility, it appears in the bar on the left side of the screen, but clicking repair or verify causes the progress bar to activate for a split second then stop with no error message. Trying to mount the sparsebundle yields a "No supported socket" message.
I am able to log into the account. When I do that, in /users/.username directory, I can see the sparsebundle with its true size, 35 gigabytes.
I used to repair sparseimages; is the described behavior "normal" for sparse bundles and if so, is there a way to get them repaired in disk utility? Or is this odd behavior on the part of this particular sparse bundle?

Well a bundle and a disk image are both, likewise, "very different things" than actual independent storage devices, but disk utility is able to reason out that it needs to ask for the password for the disk image and open it in order to repair it. There's no reason why it couldn't be as bright when it comes to handling a sparseimage.
You are correct that mounting it first with a terminal command (sudo hdiutil mount -nomount -readwrite /path/to/sparseimage) causes it to be repairable in disk utility. Disk utility can figure out by itself that it needs to open the disk image when you repair a disk image, but apparently not with a sparsebundle. I disagree with your tone above that implies that somehow one would not expect disk utility to function robustly and be actually capable of repairing Apple file system-based virtual disk images (whether a single file or in a directory format, doesnt matter), and that one should be expected to dig up a terminal command and mount it manually before being able to tinker with it. That's not reasonable to expect of the user for a routine task such as repairing a disk image.
However on doing so, disk utility can repair the disk.

Import Dvd made with Studio into iMovie?

Hello,
I switched from Pinnacle Studio 9.x to iMovie. Now I want to remake a homemade DVD with iMovie. On the DVD are the following maps: Audio_Ts and Video_TS.
I haven't succeded in importing this DVD into iMovie. Is there a simple way to do this or does it mean a difficult workaround?

Thank you for helping me.

How to create a dvd menu with lion and no idvd anymore??

You can still purchase the retail disk version of iLife 11 which includes iDVD; it's available at several online resellers including Amazon and ebay. I purchased it because I wanted to be able to reinstall if necessary since there is absolutely no decent replacement for iDVD.

http://compare.ebay.com/like/390341831776?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var =sbar
(I see both iLife 11 and iLife 09 listed there - the older version should work as well since iDVD hasn't been upgraded since).

How to Recover a bad DVD made with DVD v7? Streamclip?

I have a several copies of a DVD made from a iMovie(8.04) & i DVD(7.04) that will not play. They either freeze in middle, or at the first menu, or show that they are skipping over damaged sections. I don't have the original iMovie files or video clips. I tried copying tje DVD with Disk Utility to a DVD/CD master. It failed with input output errors. I tried copying with Toast and disk recovery on it copied but copied disk will not mount in player. It was suggested to try Streamclip, I got Streamclip and opened the VOB files fine and they play perfectly, then I tried to export them to Quicktime, DV,MPEG and AVI..so I could bring them back into iMovie and then to iDVD again....no matter what I choose as "export to" Streamclip says it cannot create the file. What am I missing here. Do I need some add on to Streamclip? Is there a better way?

Not 100% certain if anything will help your particular situation. However, it's possible you may also need apple's MPEG2 Playback component (that or an update).

Another option might be to use DVDXDV (try it for free):

how do you restore a password on a locked folder made in disk utility?

Hello there, HoseDwellers.
The following Knowledge Base article as a great step by step instructional on how to change the password for the account:
OS X: Changing or resetting an account password
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
Resetting a user's password in OS X Lion and Mountain Lion
Important: Passwords for administrator accounts should not be blank.
Log in with an administrator account. Tip: If you don't know the password of any administrator accounts, see "Resetting the original administrator account password" below.
From the Apple menu choose System Preferences.
From the View menu choose Users & Groups.
Click the lock button if it appears locked; enter the administrator password.
Select the name of the user whose password you want to change.
Click the Reset Password button or the Change Password button.
Enter a new password in both the New Password and Verify fields, and add a Password Hint if desired.
Click the Reset Password button or the Change Password button.This should get you taken care of.
Remember, also, that you can restart the computer (you will be prompted to enter your administrator password) and this should log him out so that when you log back in, you can then follow the above steps with success.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Help burning DVD with Disk Utility

I have a Mac Mini with a SuperDrive.
System Profiler confirms that I can write a DVD-R:
But Disk Utility won't let me burn a DVD. With a brand spanking new blank DVD-R in the drive, it says "Write Ability: Read Only":
What's the problem, and how do I burn my .dmg disk image?
Mac Mini Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Eject the disk.
In disk Utility, select the disk image file and click the burn button.
A drop down window should appear and ask for a blank disk. Insert the disk.
Soon the window should change and show burn options, and the burn button at the bottom right should turn blue. Choose any options you need and click the blue burn button.

How do I import DVD to IMovie? What is the best way to import DVD to a Mac?

Hi everyone!
I need some help, so here are my questions.
How do I import DVD to IMovie? What is the best way to import DVDs to a Mac?
I would like to keep the original quality from the DVD.
Thx.

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.

Duplicating DVDs made with DVD Studio Pro 4.2.2

I cannot duplicate dvds made with DVD Studio Pro. I could with my prior version but since upgrading, I am unable to. The duplicator says: Source and target size mismatch - or something like that. I have seen only one other complaint about this and they said to burn the dvd to the hard disc and copy from there. This did not work. Same error message comes up on the duplicator. I can't burn all these dvds one at a time!!!!! Any solutions out there?

Welcome to the discussions.
It is also good to include as much information about what you are using to help others see if they can be of assistance. I know it can be frustrating trying to finish up and something goes wrong. Some days many people reply, other times, such as the problem I have with connecting to background process after the last quick update, hardly anyone replies. I hope that someone might be able to offer assistance.
You say you have 4.2.2, not 4.1.2? I have not seen that update, is it for an intel model? I am still using a Dual G4 1.42 with 4.1.2.
Which duplicator are you using? It would be good to include that so those using that brand/model can replay.
Is the DVD you recorded on and the ones used for duplications the same brand/size/type?
While I know this can take a while, in a pinch, such as not, just keep DVDSP fired up and feeding your DVD burner.
I only have to do 6 to 8 copies at a time so I use my DVD burner from DVDSP or save the DVD as a disk image using Toast Titanium 8 and opened it in toast to duplicate via the DVD burner.
Please reply with more information and hopefully others can offer more help.

How can I open items made with apple works

How can I open items made with apple works

You need to purchase Pages for your iMac. You can buy it from the App Store.
I don't know if the version of Pages for the iPad will open the Apple Works documents. If you have the documents on your Mac and want to open them on your iPad the easiest way I can think of is to open a DropBox (Google it) account and store the documents there. Then you can try to open the documents in Pages on your iPad. If that doesn't work then I know Pages for OS X will open the Apple Works WP documents.

Mts files cannot imported with audio in pro cc6. how i can import mts files with audio?

when i am importing mts files in pro cc6. every time it is being imported without audio. though original mts files have audio. how can i import mts files with audio in cc6?

To clarify Media Browser suggestion - very important that you copy ALL content from SD card to hard drive before importing using Media Browser. If you only have the .mts files alone, there is stuff missing that is needed for Premiere to properly interpret the video/audio.
