How do i save video from mini dvd to mac

i have connected my sony dvd video recorder to my mac mini and can view the movie but it wont let me save the video to the mac.  Is there a software that i need purchase?  How can this be done sense i can't use a mini dvd with mac cd drive?

What program is this that you're using to play the video?
If you can "see" the Sony device on your desktop, you might just open it and locate the movie files there, and drag them to a folder on your Mac to copy them over. But iMovie should be able to import them for you.

  • How can I move videos from Revolution phone to mac?

    How can i move videos from Verizon Revolution to Mac? My computer is Mac os x version 10.5.8
    I have several videos that are too long to send via email, which is how I have been moving pictures and videos. I plugged it in using the USB port. The phone says I'm connected via usb. My mac brought up a box warning that the "cd connected" is not readable.

    Hi ..
    You can use the Image Capture app located in your Applications folder to import vidoe content from the phone to your Mac
    Instructions here >  Using a camera with your Mac - Apple Support
    If you have problems, make sure your Mac's software is up to date.

  • 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:
    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.

  • How do I save videos from camera roll?

    I have a iPhone 4, I have videos that I have taken in my camera roll, how to I save them, or move them so I don't lose them. Can you do videos in iCloud?

    What are you trying to accomplish?  I assumed that you wanted to transfer it to your computer so it was safely archived.  Moving it on your device doesn't diminish the chances of losing it.
    The only way to get it in the video app is to import them to your iTunes library and sync them to your phone.

  • Where/how do I save videos from SD card to MacBook?

    I have inserted the SD card and can play the videos, but where do I save them so that I can delete them from the card?

    That's really up to you.  You could put them in your movies folder if you just want them on your computer(drag and drop videos from sd card into "movies" in the sidebar), or you could import them into iTunes (which will also save them in your iTunes library.  To do that you can select all the videos and drag them into an open iTunes window or right click them and select "open with: iTunes".

  • How do I save videos from a shared photo stream to my photo stream

    my friend

    Hi Gtorres7,
    If you are looking for more information on saving videos from Shared Photo Streams, you may find the following article helpful:
    Can photos and videos be saved or downloaded from a shared photo stream?
    Yes. After photos are shared, anyone who can view the shared stream can download and keep them permanently. Videos can only be downloaded to a Mac or PC. On an iOS device, videos are streamed from iCloud and can't be downloaded.
    On a compatible iOS device, you can save photos to the Camera Roll.
    In iPhoto or Aperture for Mac, you can add or copy shared photos or videos to your Library.
    On a Windows PC, you can copy photos and videos from a shared photo stream to any folder.
    On the web, you can download photos and videos directly to your computer from the detail view of each photo or video.

    You don't see anything "happen", but it should be saved in the Camera Roll album in the Photos app.

  • How to get slideshow pictures from a DVD onto Mac

    Hi
    I am not sure if I am in the right forum, however I need help with transferring pictures from a dvd slideshow onto my mac iPhoto.
    When I see the files on the dvd, they do not seem to want to open as pictures, they are ifo, bup & vob files.
    The DVD would have been created on Pinnacle, but as I now have a Mac, I want them to be included with my other photos.
    Any help would be appreciated (please use simple terms as I have limited knowledge of how to do things)
    Thank you

    they are ifo, bup & vob files.
    Those are constituent parts of an mpeg2 video file. Doubtful if you can 'reverse engineer' those to single photo files, so I would suggest you take screen shots instead.
