How do I rip a DVD to put on my website?

Okay, I have an 18 minute short film on a DVD that I want to put on my website. I want it to be the biggest size and best quality it can be without taking too long to load.
1) How do I rip it off the DVD into a format that I can import into iMovie or the media gallery?
2) How do I change the size of the file so that it won't take too long to load?
3) Is there a way to put a ripped file into the media gallery and bypass iMovie? How would I do this?
Your help is greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

I have an 18 minute short film on a DVD that I want to put on my website.
Is this a home DVD or commercial? If commercial, then request an unprotected copy when you seek written permission for use.
I want it to be the biggest size and best quality it can be without taking too long to load.
Since these are mutually exclusive propositions, please specify minimum acceptable display dimensions and quality requirements.
1) How do I rip it off the DVD into a format that I can import into iMovie or the media gallery?
It should not be necessary to "rip" but merely copy and/or convert the source file if this is being done legally. iMovie '08 will accept, edit, and export DV, AIC, M-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, and standard/non-proprietary MPEG-4 or H.264 files. It will also accept and edit but not export Apple Animation and Apple Video compressed files. The default compression format for Gallery videos is H.264/AAC in the M4V file container.
2) How do I change the size of the file so that it won't take too long to load?
You reduce the total data used to compress the file. Unfortunately, this also reduces the quality unless you also reduce the data rate requirements by reducing the dimensions and/or use a more efficient compression format.
3) Is there a way to put a ripped file into the media gallery and bypass iMovie?
Yes and no. Yes in the sense that you can manually "replace" a Gallery file with another file of the same name but no in the sense that iMovie '08 must have previously created/published the movie that you replace. (Or so some contributors have stated.)

How do you rip anime dvds with deinterlacing and the same aspect ratio?

Hi I use clips from anime dvds for a hobby of mine. I have a problem. I can't find the right program or the right instruction to convert my m2v or vob files into crsip clean video clips with deinterlacing and low file space. Is Missing Media Burner the right program? What is the step by step process? If you need anymore detail I will be more than happy to say it. I ripped the clips from MAC the Ripper.

Daniel,
Your first post - and - I wonder how many more to follow?
Unlesss you have permissions from the copyright© owner of the material you are using for your "hobby" - you are on very dodgy ground.
If you are a student - working on projects on campus - using the facilities of the University - on found footage - under the auspices of academia - that's different. However, hobby - oh dear oh dear.

How do you rip cd and then put them on your ipod?

Hello...
Ummmm.hmhmhmh... I have a question, My friend burnt me a cd and I am trying to get the songs from the cd onto my ipod nano but am having some trouble. When you click up the itunes icon and then i put the cd in the (:C) drive it won't show up above where it says Amy's ipod and the ipod icon. I am trying to rip the cd but when i put the cd in the drive and have Windows Media Player up and go to the "Rip" part no songs will show up. I need some help...
Please help me if you know anything... THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!

I'm assuming that you're saying TV Shows that you add to your library from an external source aren't showing up in the TV Shows section on your iPod. If so, this is because, well, it's just the way it is. Only TV Shows purchased directly through the iTMS (that are listed as a TV Show by default) will show up under the TV Shows category on your iPod.
If you'd like Apple to change this, send them feedback.

How can I rip a dvd that has not been finalized.

I need to recovery the video for work. I can clearly see the content has been burned into the dvd, but since its not finalized, I cannot access any of it. What can I do? What software do I need? I saw most forums suggest ISO-buster for PC users. Is there an option for Mac users?

How do I upload a file and put on a website?

Trying to upload an image to a website that I saved on the ipad2, however, the upload option is greyed out. Is there a way around this?

I don't think that it's possible via a browser - have you checked the app store to see whether the website has got it's own app, or whether there is a third-party app for it ?

Ripping Burned DVD to iMovie

How do I rip a DVD from iDVD & iMovie to be reedited???
iMac4,1 Mac OS X (10.4.8) LaCiE 186.3 GB HD

DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (29$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast 6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

Ripping dvds then putting them on ipod

I ripped a dvd i bought for my own personal use. I ripped it using mac the the ripper and my objective is to put the movie on my ipod, when i ripped the dvd it created 2 folders one for audio and one for video, and each folder had a bunch of files, with 2 extensions .ifo and .vob how am i supposed to export this using quicktime? i know how to export if there is one file but all thes ifo and vob confuse me. can someone please help?

I tried Videora but had spotty success. I have since downloaded PQ DVD to Pod and am very please so far. It will convert both DVD and any version MPG file and is simple to use. It's available shareware/trial version that limits each recording you perform to 5-10 minutes worth, but gives you the chance to test it out before you buy. The trial version is enough for most ordinary music vids.
There are a few things that can hang you up, so if you are still reading I assume you will be interested.
1) Make sure the files have no crazy symbols in the file name [ ] and ? ! are especially bad it seems. Change the file name before you transfer to itunes.
2) Make sure you set your source directory and save directory to difference places before converting and files; it can get confusing. Have a source directory that is itunes will not look in for files. In this way, if something goes wrong or you're not happy with the result, you will have you original file intact to try again.
Good luck!

How do I rip DVDs using Hand Brake?

I am wanting to rip DVDs from my personal collection so that I can use them with Apple TV. It was recommended to me to use the free software called Hand Brake. I also had to download VLC media player as per HandBrake instructions. I initially had some incompatability issues with 64-bit HandBrake and 32-bit VLC which I tried to overcome by downloading the 32-bit version of Handbrake as well. (I can't download the 64-bit version of VLC because it apparently only operates with OSX 10.6.x or later......and I am running 10.5.8). Thought I had it all worked out because the ripping proceeded as expected..... but on two attempts with two different DVDs, it hasn't worked. The software tells me its completed it, but the end result has been failure (one just nowhere to be found on my computer, and the other found in my iTunes movie folder but completely bastardized and unviewable).
What am I doing wrong? Is there a better ripping program (preferably free) that I should be using?

camirv,
If you are attempting to rip commercial DVD's this is considered illegal and per the Terms of Use we all agreed to we cannot discuss it on this forum. However there are numerous articles on how to use Handbrake. You can also find lot's of "how to" videos on YouTube. One article is:

PE11 Rip from DVD- putting a menu on- burning that to DVD ruins quality

First, I've read some things here and there, but can't find the exact same scenarios in other posts, although I'm sure this is a fairly common problem (SIAP):
Here is a summary of the issue:
1) Our guy produced a video for our organization and gave me a DVD-R of the 11 minute project. I imported this into PE11 and on the timeline it says .VOB. Now on the desktop, the 481 mb VTS_01_1 file properties state that it is 720x480, 29 fps... although I find it strange that the clip as imported into PE11 in properties in the project assets window says it's 23.976 frame rate. Making things more confusing (don't even know if any of this matters) is that in an instance of Share->Export to Computer, the "source" says the video is 1920x1080, 29.97 fps. Don't know if any of this matters...
2) Anyways, the reason I ripped it is for the sole purpose of creating a menu on the DVD. So I picked a "HD" template, imported my own JPEG on to it, then attempted as best I could to erase all the buttons except for "Play Movie." AGain, not sure if the Menu functionality has anything to do with the issue, but I figured I'd mention it.
3) I've tried several times burning the video with both DVD-R and +R using both NTSC Dolby and Widescreen Dolby to burn to DVD.
The resulting DVD has a degraded, fuzzy image and the black frame lines at bottom and top seem to bounce and jitter.
The image on the original DVD is clearly HD and looks great, without any bouncing, jittering, etc. Also, the DVD app i used to watch the original on my computer is the same as I used to watch my own burned DVD... So PE11 has clearly degraded the image, something is going on in the export.
Another thing worth mentioning is that as I look at the video footage in PE11 on full screen, I can see that even in PE11, the video quality is not the same as the original DVD and there are obvious artifacts and just nonsense in the picture... Not necessarily as bad as the burn, but similar.
I've done a little reading on these forums about .VOB files... I don't fully understand them. Is it that the image is messed up from the beginning with an import from DVD? IS there a way to do what I want (take hiqual video from a DVD, put a menu on it, then burn it back onto DVD?) with PE11? Or is the only way to make a burn from the original source file before it was burned the first place?

Please get a MediaInfo readout of your VOB at the onset to determine what you have, especially standard or widescreen.
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
Special Interest: Frame size, Frame rate, Display 4:3 or 16:9, Scan Type and Scan Order for which I am expecting Interlaced and Lower Field First.
Here is my take on your situation.
1. The Canon 6D can capture 1080p video (1920 x 1080 16:9 at 29.97 or 30 frames per second), but from what you wrote somewhere along the line someone put that through a video "authoring" program to convert it into DVD-VIDEO format on a DVD disc (720 x 480). At this point, we need to know standard or widescreen. Both standard and widescreen will be 720 x 480, but the widescreen will have a 16:9 flag included to stretch the video for display after encoding.
Question:
a. What is on that DVD disc....just a file name VTS_01_1 (file size 481 MB) or two folders named OpenDVD and VIDEO_TS? If you have a file, for Premiere Elements 11, you would use Add Media/Files and Folders to get the file in Project Assets. If you have the DVD disc in the DVD burner tray, you would use Add Media/DVD Camera or Computer Drive to rip the VOB and get the VOB into the project.
b.Your project is going to get messed up and confusing, if you let the program set the project preset for you. You will most likely end up with the default NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 which is inappropriate for your project. So, before thinking or acting on Get Media....open a new project, go to File Menu/New/Project and set the project preset in the New Project dialog for NTSC DV Standard or NTSC DV Widescreen depending on what you find beforehand about the properties of your VOB MediaInfo Then use Add Media/and the appropriate choice based on what I wrote above about VOB already ripped vs DVD-VIDEO ripping.
c. When you have your VOB on the TImeline with the appropriate project setting, right click the file in Project Assets and verify Premiere Elements 11's interpretation of the file frame rate and other to determine if it agrees with the MediaInfo readout. It would be very unusual if there was a differnce, but...
d. Whether you have a NTSC or PAL project, all the SD DVD Templates have a frame size of 720 x 576 (PAL sizing). The ones tagged HD have a 1440 x 1080 frame size. Right now I would advise you to stay with the SD ones, but not be afraid to experience with a HD choice if it appealing and see what happening during encoding.
e. In all this, you did not say what the duration is of this 481 MB VOB file. The standard DVD disc is spec'd at 4.7 GB/120 min. That 4.7 GB in reality is 4.3 GB. You will frequently see the recommendation "for best results, do not exceed 90 minutes on this standard type disc". When you have your DVD disc in the DVD burner tray and are in the burn dialog of Publish+Share/Disc/DVD make sure to check the Quality Area of the burn dialog for the Space Required and Bitrate reading (8.00 Mbps is the max reading).
Based on what you wrote, I suspect that most of your problems were related to incorrect project settings. By the way, if you want to get rid of a menu button text, most of the time double click the text to bring up the Change Text dialog, highlight the text there, hit the delete key of the computer, then hit the space bar or enter key.
If you are replacing the menu's audio, max 30 sec with looping. If you use motion buttons in the menu, max 4.9 seconds. After you get the details of the project setup OK, we can focus in more on the menus...number of Timeline markers etc, and customization of the menus from within the program.
Lots of details. The answers and successes will be in the details. All the contributors here have given you a lot of ideas for exploration and experimentation.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
Looking forward to learning of your progress.
Thanks.
