Can I download DVD home movies into imovies?

Can I download DVD home movies into imovie to edit and create enhanced DVDs?

Yes.
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/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
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.
If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

Bringing in DVD home movies into QT question

My mini-DV tape camcorder is on the blink, so today I purchased a Panasonic mini DVD camcorder that doesn't have firewire [it has USB 2] and since my old Mac only has USB 1.1 and firewire I have a question.
My question: I've read that QT pro can bring dvd home movies in. How does one or what does one do to bring in a DVD home movie to QT pro? My purpose for doing this in the future is to share clips from the home movies via email to family and friends [I know they will be small and compressed but family and friends still really enjoy seeing them in an email].
Further information: my old Mac also has a [firewire connected] Lacie DVD burner that can read and burn to most any DVD format [dvd-r, dvd+r, and even can accept mini DVD's and read them]. The Panasonic mini DVD camcorder I bought today is the model number VDR-D230.

I made and finalized my first mini dvd movie on the camera today to test it in the Lacie external drive connected to the Cube.
Concerning the comparison between Handbrake and Streamclip. Does either allow one to record only parts of the dvd home movie on the fly and exclude other parts. From using Handbrake, I think the last time I used it, that Handbrake basically converted an entire dvd to QT (or mpeg which is readable by QT). I may be wrong about Handbrake because I can only remember using it twice. Is Streamclip better at this, meaning can Streamclip allow me to record only parts of the dvd home movie on the fly to a format that QT can recognize, or does it work in the same fashion as Handbrake when it comes to this area. Also, I should mention that the Panasonic dvd camcorder does come with software called ImageMixer 3 - but after reading about ImageMixer 3 in the manual it requires a 1ghz G4 mac, and I'm only at 450 currently (I could upgrade my cube's processor to a dual g4 (costs almost as much as buying a mini mac or better yet even a single g4 (1.8 ghz speed for $249). I probably won't go the route of ImageMixer 3 since I just bought a $400 camcorder but it was an idea that crossed my mind (until I read about it's requirements) - I am wondering if ImageMixer 3 is good software though.
I did notice you said one can buy a plug in for QT that allows it to see dvd movies. I wonder how that works. I know with my prior mini dv tape camcorder qt would allow me to play the tape (while connected via firewire) and make a movie on the fly and could choose (as it played) when I'd click record and stop (while in qt). Does the plug in for QT for around $20 that allows it to bring in a dvd home movie allow QT to work in a similiar way? If so, for $20 it's a no brainer and I'll dish out the $20 right now.
By the way, I'm not looking at doing in major serious video work here or looking for high quality video. My reason for doing this is to get a low quality small short clip into an email that can be viewed, amuse the parents and friends, and is small enough to email (like qt sharing did with my prior mini dv tape camcorder that went on the blink).
As a follow up to finalizing my first mini dvd on this camcorder. I made a mistake by following the young salesman's recommendation to use the mini dvd-r dual layer disks. When I inserted it into my Lacie which I thought could read anything [and it can read and burn cd, dvd-r, dvd+r] I quickly learned it could not read a dual layer mini dvd disk. Thankfully, I have 2 dvd players connected on top of my tv [one is a dvd burner) and did a copy of the mini dual [I tested and both of them could read the mini dual - the must have been manufactured after the Lacie was]. I know this is not the best solution, since I think the mini dual was converted into an analog signal and then recorded to another dvd [but it was a workable solution to get the dvd to be recognized and pulled into my Mac]. I'll buy some mini dvd's tomorrow for the camcorder that aren't dual layer and test in the Lacie (they should work - I hope). I know it's definitely not advisable [or would work] to try to insert any mini dvd into straight into my Cube [always use the Lacie drive with mini's since it's tray loading, eh].
p.s. I was just informed by Handbrake of this update [dunno if the update changes anyones thinking on Handbrake], but here's the link

How can I pull photos from iphoto into Photoshop to edit them?

Uploaded some photos on my new Apple Mini (I'm converting from Windows to Mac) and they uploaded fine - but then I couldn't see how to get them from iphoto into Photoshop to edit them. Surely they must automatically save but if so, where??

Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

Compress dvd home movie into one vob?

I have created a home movie in imovie and then transferred it back to my camcorder and burned it onto a dvd. There are 5 vob files containing the entire movie. Is there any software to "join" all of the parts to upload to the internet?

sure, a vob for the menu, a vob for the autostart (even when empty), a vob for the first 20min of project..
vobs are part of the videoDVD standard, a delivery file .. no 'format' for further processing.
plus, any re-and-back-and-forth-conversion doesn't add any quality to your video, these formats are all lossy.
upload your iMovie (in case you use iM08/09, this is just a click away, Share).
or, export from within iM (vers. 6,5,4,...) in needed resolution... upload that.
but converting backwards from DVD?? is .. sorry .. nonsense.
esp. when it is a iMovie project AND the video exist on tape!
import tape - upload.
ahh, and welcome ladybug 1969 to the  boards ..

How do I put already made movies into future movies on iMovie '13?

How do I transfer a home movie to videos on my ipad?

There's obviously a simple answer to my problem, but I can't seem to find it. I made a home movie on my mac. I shared it with iTunes. I then looked for it in videos on my ipad. No sign of it. I found it among the photos and videos in the camera section. How to I get this home movie into my videos. Homesharing is on, but clearly hasn't solved the problem. Do I have to sync my ipad with itunes on my mac? Seems a bit complicated for such a simple task. After all, I can email it to my family without a problem. Anyone tell me what I'm missing?

Have you tried clicking the share icon when it is selected (the box with and arrow at the top) to see if you get an option to "open in..." and then select videos app.
I have not done this so not sure it will work but an idea to try.

How do I burn a home movie on my mac to dvd

How do I burn a home movie that I put in itunes to a dvd

You need burn software to do so. Do you have iLife 09 or 11 installed? If so, you have iDVD which is perfect. What app did you use to edit/put together the movie?
If you don't have iDVD, then take a look at Roxio Toast ($$) or Burn (free) or google for other apps.
FWIW, I've never parked a home made movie in iTunes, so I have no idea if there is anything you can do with it there. My guess is you need to get it into the burn software. And, if you still have an older version of iMovie, it may still have a burn option within.

How do I burn my home movies to a DVD?

I have a MacBook Pro which I purchased in June of 2012. I would like to put my home moives onto a DVD to mail to my relatives. (I don't want ot put them on You Tube.) How can I burn my home movies onto a DVD? I guess you could do this with iDVD in iMovie 11, but the MacBook Pro that I have does not have this feature under Share. What do I do?

Personally, I use iMovie to edit my home movies, then I use Burn to burn it to a disk. Burn will automatically set the necessary files and everything for you too! Just drag and drop, and click burn.

That's a proprietary interface.
Odds are there is no adapter. Ask Sony.

How to combine 3 completed short movies into one disc?

I made 3 projects, created disc images, and burned them successufully, one at a time. Since they are only about 15 minutes each, I would like to now combine them into one DVD. I want to keep the originals as is, meaning the same different DVD theme each one has. Is there a way to do that? I tried to use Toast, but it can't import some files and tells me there is a mac error. Can I create a new DVD theme, sort of introducing the 3 projects, them import the 3 completed projects into it, so that it will play the different iDVD thems for each? Any help would be appreciated.

hey there MaxFS,
you can put all 3 movies into 1 DVD project, but you can't have 3 themes in one project--no version of iDVD works that way. neither does any version of Toast. 1 Project=1 Theme. if you have submenus you can make the submenu page be different from the main menu page.
good luck.

How do I save a home movie to MacBook Air

How do I save a home movie from DVD to my MacBook Air. I have just downloaded the latest IOS 8.1 but have not installed ant apps for movies. I do have a couple of videos already saved.

Hi ..
iOS 8.1 is the operating system for iPhones and iPads, not OS X for your Mac. Apps that run on iOS devices cannot run on our Mac and vice versa.
Since the MB Air does not have a DVD drive, in order to import the movie from the disc, you will need an external drive.

How can I put my Divx movie in my keynote presentation slide?

I installed Quicktime codecs. After that I can see divx movie by Quicktime.
But, here is my question.
When I want to use a part of the Divx movie, I did editing the movie and then I tried to convert the movie. But, it usually take a long time. I want to know how I can put the divx movie in my slide without encoding....
Thank you..

Converting to MPEG-4 is going to take a long time depending on the duration of the content. How long is the clip you're trying to encode?
If you want to edit out the parts you don't want with QuickTime then encode with something faster, that's an option, too. When you save the edited version, you can save it as a reference movie, then drop that reference movie into iSquint.
http://www.isquint.org
It's much faster and has a simple interface for higher or lower quality. Try that to see if it's fast enough. If not, there are other options as well (for example, using the reference movie directly in Keynote).
