How do I save DVD to file to.....

later send as an email attachment? I have some movies of my kids recently transferred from 8mm tape to dvd, I can play DVD on my imac but can't figure out how to "save it"... Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Let's take it step by step. Insert the DVD. If DVD Player appears, ignore it (just minimize the window). Look on your Finder - do you see the DVD image icon? If so, double click that icon to get into the disk. A DVD will have two folders, VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. You just need the VIDEO_TS folder, drag it to your location of choice. I'd advise you to grab the whole folder, not just the files inside it.
Also, DVD files can't really be emailed - they'd be way too big. Your best bet is either to copy the DVD and send physical copies, or convert the DVD files to a smaller file format, such as mp4, which can be emailed OR (and perhaps better), placed online so that you can just share a link to a webpage.

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    With that information we can give you the specifics of the how to. There are marked changes in the Premiere Elements 11 and 12 workspaces as compared to version of Premiere Elements earlier than 11.
    Also, what do mean by
    vob-file (old Video format)
    Do you mean that you have a VTS_01_1.VOB file that you ripped from a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc and saved to your computer hard drive?

  • How can I save a PDF file sent to me in an attachment to my iPhone 5s

    How can I save a PDF file or word file sent to me as an attachment directly to my iPhone 5s so if I want to read it I don't have to dig into my ail every time?

    You will need to select the attachment and open in another app.  If you do not have any apps that support PDF, Adobe reader for iOS is free.
    For MS word files, you will need an app that supports those, like Documents to Go. 
    There is not generic file storage area in iOS, so you need to "open in" an app that supports that file type so that app can then add the file to its sandboxed local storage area.
    If you need to markup the PDF, some good apps are GoodReader, iAnnotate, PDF Expert, GoodNotes - there are numerous others as well in the App Store.

    The same way you save ANY email attachment... which is going to depend on the email program you use... so check with support for your email program (or the help file to learn how to save an attachment)
    When you OPEN a PDF attachment, what program are you using... Acrobat or Reader... both have options to save files

    You can Duplicate the file then Save it as a .doc file.

    how do i save an audio file from a webpage to iTunes?

    If the web page is designed to let you save files it will often have a download link, or if it is a link to the file directly you can try to right click on the file.  If it isn't set up that way then they probably don't intend for the file to be downloaded.

    You need to explin your workflow better.
    The "Save" action may be initiated by a "Share" or "Export" option depending on the app you are using. For instance, QT 7 Pro has "Save", "Save As...", "Share...", "Export...", and "Export for Web..." options depending on what you are specificly trying to do. On the other hand, QT X may have "Duplicate", "Export...", Export To", and/or "Share" options for various goals.
    Are you trying to record a new audio file using a mic, extract and save an audio track from a video, export audio from a video file, save an internet audio file that opened in the QT player, save an online audio file, etc?

  • How do I save all mp3 files as an attachable file in text messaging on a G'z One Commando? Some mp3 save as these types of files but I don't how or what I do differently.

    In summary, it sounds to me as though the Mac concept of "hidden extension per file" isn't embraced at all by Photoshop.
    So assuming the extension is always visible, what is the easiest way do each of the following (ignoring issues with integration with other apps):
    1.  Save a JPEG as:  abc.jpg
    2.  Save a JPEG as:  abc
    3.  Save a JPEG as:  abc.
    4.  Save a JPEG as:  abc.xxx
    Since it seems to me we still haven't nailed down whether there's a disparity between how this works on Photoshop for Mac vs. PC, I'll answer the above questions for PC:
    1.  File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type (replace filename with):  abc
    2.  No difference than 3 on a PC.
    3.  File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type:  abc.
    4.  File - Save As, choose Format: JPEG, type:  abc.xxx
    How is it different from the above on a Mac?
    Is there something more complex, such as the sequence of operations, or another system setting, that I didn't cover here?  I normally always keep Explorer set so that file extensions are visible (it's global on a PC).
