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 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!

    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://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:

    which costs $25.

    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 a dvd into iMovie '08?

    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!!

    DVDxDV, VisualHub and MPEG Streamclip (free but requires $20 Apple Quicktime MPG-2 component) are three possibilities

  • 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 import video from Sony TRV22E into iMovie ?

    Hi
    Sony TRV22E - CAN ONLY export the VIDEO material via a FireWire Cable (iLinc)
    Then Your Mac need eiter
    - a FireWire port - or -
    - a Thunderbolt port
    if only Thunderbolt - Then You need a FireWire to Thunderbolt converter.
    The USB- can only copy over the Still photos You also cam take with Your Camera. Will NEVER work for Video Export.

    How do I import video from my canon vixia hv 40 into imovie?

    First decide which editing program you intend to use; iMovie, FCE, FCP, Adobe Premier, etc. Read the user's manual or Help files for your chosen application to determine the steps needed: the procedure will vary somewhat from application to application.
    Next, with the camera and the computer off, connect the Firewire cable to both units, then power up. Set the camera to VTR (play) mode. Open your editing program and follow the instructions provided in the Help files for capturing DV footage from tape.
    Do NOT expect the camera to mount on your desktop as if it were a hard drive or optical disc.

  • How do i import video from my go pro to i movies

    How do I import video from my go pro hero 4 to I movies

    What model MacBook Pro do you have? On my late 2011, I used to use a Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter to get video and audio from my Mac to my television. I used this adapter from Monoprice. Worked great - I just no longer use it because I bought a 27" monitor.
    You can also use AirPlay mirroring if you've the right MBP and an Apple TV - but the wired method works, too.

    Follow the steps below to troubleshoot if the computer does not recognize the USB connection from the camcorder.
    Turn off the camcorder.
    Ensure the USB cable is connected securely to the camcorder.
    Ensure the other end of the USB cable is connected securely to the USB port on the computer. NOTE:  Connection through a USB hub is not supported. 
    With the exception of the mouse, keyboard, and camcorder, remove any other USB connected devices from the computer.
    Turn on the camcorder.
    On the camcorder LCD screen, touch the computer or hard disk icon.
    If the issue is still not resolved, connect the USB cable to a different USB port on the computer.
    If the issue is still not resolved, try uninstalling and reinstalling the USB driver.
    If the issue is still not resolved, test the USB port on the computer by connecting a different USB device.

  • How do I import video off a DVD?

    Is there a way to import video from a DVD directly into Final Cut Pro Express or do I need to download another program in order to do so. The DVDs are no copyrighted they are actually DVD I burned myself. If I do need to download another program which is the best/safest?

    MPEG Streamclip (free) coupled with the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component ($19, downloadable from Apple, if you don't already have it).
    If the DVD is standard def, use MPEG Streamclip to convert it to *QuickTime > Apple DV/DVCPRO NTSC.* If hidef/widescreen, convert it to QuickTime > Apple Intermediate Codec.

  • How do I import video from my new Canon FX300?

    How do I import video from my Canon FX300 into FCP?

    It's probably got no connection with your problem but just to rule it out, trash your preferences  .  .  .  it'll only take a minute so you've nothing to lose.
    Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
    1. Ensure that only  FCP X  is selected.
    2. Click Trash
    The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.
    There is absolutely no danger in trashing preferences and you can do it as often as you like.
    The preferences are kept separately from FCP X and if there aren't any when FCP X opens it automatically creates new ones  .  .  .  instantly.
