Okay, okay. I have seen this topic discussed here dozens of times in the past 10 years. I was trying to keep it simple. The bottom line is, pretty much every instance of this question is people wanting to rip movies they "own" to their computers and in just about every instance (I think I have seen one, maybe two times when it was a home DVD) the easy answer is, "No it is illegal [because almost every movie DVD is DRM protected], and we can't talk about it here." Frankly, Apple is usually pretty fast off the mark at removing this kind of topic from the forum so I'm surprised you even got to respond.
Oh, I think both VLC and NicePlayer will play video_ts folders on a computer.

How do I save a dvd so I can play it on my TV ? Mp4 does not work nor m4v.

iTuens does not allow for any DVD importing whatsoever and unfortunately discussions of these topics are not allowed on the forums.

How can I save a DVD I have to my desktop?

How can I save a DVD that I have previously bought, recorded or burned from TV onto my MacBook Air?

1) How can I simply drag photos from albums onto my desktop?
select the photo and drag it to the desktop -- or export it to the desktop (file menu ==> export)
2)does anybody know how to change the email setting for "from"? When I attempt to share a photo and email it to someone, I cant because I have no idea of the information in my "from" box. Therefore I dont have the password to send it. How can I change that setting?
to change account information iPhoto preferences ==> accounts -- or better yet IMHO just set the e-mial client to Apple Mail rather than the default iPhoto and send using mail
In the lower right hand corner grab the corner of the window and drag it to the size you want

Syncing photos with iTunes is explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You'll have to choose the photos you want to sync in the photo pane in iTunes with your phone connected, then apply sync.

How do I copy a DVD to my mac, and then trim it to upload clips to YouTube? They are not copyright protected DVDs.

I am trying to take a DVD (non copyrighted) and be able to add 10 min clips of it to a YouTube Channel. How do I copy that DVD to my Mac and trim the clips I want to upload. Thank you.

Copy the DVD to your desktop, then:
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://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(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.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion or later:
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 onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
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. (The same applies to Mountain Lion and Mavericks even though they have it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

I am assumming these DVDs are your own personal property and are NOT rented or borrowed DVDs.
Once again, assuming that you own these DVDs, I recommend using Mac DVDRipper Pro to extract the content from your PERSONAL DVDs. I have it installed on my computer and it rips DVD's at maximum speed and uses very little processing power.
You can find more info. about Mac DVDRipper Pro at the following link...

... About converting the extracted video to a format that can be played on an iPod or iPad, I'll let someone else take a jab at that.

Hi yoli;
I don't know why you posted your question about saving a DVD movie to hard drive in the "Classic" forum. This forum has to do with questions on running application under the OS 9 emulator with OS X.

How do you save your DVD to your Hard Drive, and then convert to iPod?

Hello everyone, I was wondering how you save your DVD to your hard drive and then convert it to the iPod Video.
Please respond.
P.S.
I know that it's been discussed all the time, but none of the posts are useful for me.
Thanks

Hi,
The best option is to pull the card out and plug to your computer UNLESS your computer does not have a card reader. If your computer did not have a card reader, you need to map the cardreader on your printer to your network using the following method:

How do I save a dvd (with video from a video camera) to edit with imovie?

A friend took videos of an event of mine with his video camera. He then put the clips on a dvd and gave it to me. It was recorded on with a Sony video camera and imported on to a pc with vega's then burned with DVD Complete. He was not sure what format he put it in but maybe something like video_TS.BUP. When I open it up from my desktop it has a audio TS and Video TS folder. When I try to open one of the video folders it goes to iphoto and says unrecognizable format. So does he need to save it to different format and what format would that be. I want to put those clips on my mac to edit to make a movie. I have the newest macbook with the newest imovie. Thanks for all your help!

DVDs are encoded into MPEG2, which iMovie cannot edit. So you need to convert the DVD back to something else. For highest quality, I recommend that you convert the DVD to Apple Intermediate Codec. There is a free tool called MPEG Streamclip that will do this. You will also need to install the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component.
Here are the details.
1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
3) Start MPEG Streamclip
4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically quit those.
5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to your DVD to the Video_TS folder.
6) Drag the .VOB files from the Video_TS folder and drop then into MPEG Streamclip.
7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
8) Use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like
9b) optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
11) Open iMovie.
12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/From File and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

How can I save text messages to my Mac and will that reduce "Other" in storage?

I have hundreds (or more) of text messages on my iPhone 5 that for personal reasons, I want to save. There are far too many to do screenshots. I want to save them to my MacBook Pro Retina in a readable and printable format. The reason is that I read that text messages can cause the "Other" storage to be higher. My "Other" is over 6 GB on a 16 GB iphone. Therefore I want to save texts, print them, and delete from phone.
First question: Is it true that text messages contribute to the size of "Other"?
Second question: How can I save texts to Mac in readable format so they could be printed?
Third question: How in the world do I delete all these texts from my iPhone efficiently? Is there a way to "mass delete"?
When you are answering this, perhaps it is noteworthy that:
(a) I've had an iPhone since a 3G in 2009, and the texts I want to save have been accumulating since then.
(b) My "Other" has gradually gotten larger over the years.
(c) I sync with itunes regularly.
(d) I've never had any problems with an iphone or with my data.
(e) I've restored from backup only three times, when I upgraded to the iphone 4, 4S, and 5.
I want to get this "Other" cleared up before I upgrade to the iphone 5S.
Thank you.

You can select to export a folder to save as a .mbox file. This file would need to be imported if you wanted to view the messages.
Select mailbox (folder)
Under Mailbox in the Menu bar select Export Mailbox...
You might also want to check out the demo for EagleFiler by the author for SpamSieve. You could view and search the messages archived in EagleFiler.

Regarding Mail being slow....
Is it only Mail that is slow? How much free space on your drive? Use Disk Utility to find available space.
