How do I turn a DVD into a QT movie?

I'm trying to import several DVD's into an iMovie of a friends memorial. (The originals were played on a tv screen but of course the videotaped version of the screen was barely readable.)
I've asked in the Quick Time forum how to get the QT movie into iMovie with the idea that then I would export it to miniDV and make tapes or DVD's with copy machines I have. Does this make any sense or am I "walking around the barn"?? Thanks to anyone who can help. Kate

To convert the MPG-2 content into something useable, you can use DVDxDV at http://www.dvdxdv.com/DVDxDV.overview.htm
or MPEG Streamclip at http://www.squared5.com/ which requires Apple's $20 MPEG-2 Playback Component
Roxio's Toast Titanium 7 will also let you convert MPEG-2 to DV

I made a picture collage in pages from the pictures in iPhoto. You used to be able to print and then say save as a jpeg to iPhoto and that option is gone. How do you turn your document into a jpeg now.

If you chose print, you can save as PDF. If you open the saved PDF in preview, you can save as JPEG, GIF, PNG. FYI you can crop in preview.
Another option is you could use command + shift + 4 to do a screen shot of a specific part of of the screen.

How do I turn a PDF into a JPEG?

Hi joeyk86530628,
If you have Adobe PDF Pack, you can export that PDF file to JPEG format. You can use Acrobat, as well, if you have that.
If you don't have Acrobat, you're welcome to give it a try. You can download a free 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html. In Acrobat, you choose File > Save as Other > Image > JPEG (or JPEG2000).
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,
Sara

How do I turn an image into a transparency?

Hi,
There's a question I've seen asked dozens or hundreds of times, and I thought I found an answer a few years ago. I've since forgotten how to do it:
Turn an image into a transparency.
Now, the obvious solution is to set the layer to "multiply." Yes, this is the effect I want. However, I want the layer to be transparent instead.
Another solution is to draw an image on a transparent layer. This works great, but only applies if I create the image from scratch. I want to convert an existing image.
Another solution is multiple steps:
1) Copy image
2) Click "edit in quick mask mode."
3) Paste image
4) Exit quick mask mode.
5) Invert selection.
6) Ctrl+backspace to fill selection with black, on a blank transparent layer.
Result? The image is now transparent! However, this converts the image to greyscale! Great for linework and text, terrible for photos or art!
In an older version of Photoshop 7, I believe I got the following to work:
A) Follow the previous steps 1-6, creating a layer with transparency
B) Copy the original picture to a layer above the transparency
C) Group the layer with the transparency layer below. (Note, grouping doesn't work the same any more.)
D) The top layer provides the colors, but the bottom layer provides the transparency.
E) It is too light, so you take the top layer, and maximize "saturation" 100%.
F) Merge the two layers. It retains the transparency of the bottom layer, with the hue of the top layer.
This no longer works, because I don't know how grouping layers works anymore.
So, I need white pixels to be transparent. Black pixels to have zero transparency. Red pixels to have zero transparency. Etc.
Meanwhile, grey pixels are solid black, but partly transparent. Pink pixels are solid red, but partly transparent.
All pixels are 100% saturated, and the "lightness" is determined by how transparent they are.
So, an analogy would be printing a photo on a transparency. I need to convert an image to a transparency.
If the image/layer were overlaid on white, it would look exactly like the original photo.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Mathematically, it's easy. But I don't know about any filter, process, or method to make the conversion using CS5.
Thanks,
Ben

Hello!
I hope that I understand what you need.
(One could just put the image on a layer, and lower its opacity, but you seem to be looking for an effect in wich the tranparency is not the same for all pixels.)
Try this:
1) Turn your image image as a layer (double-click it if it is a background layer) [In order to add a mask]
2) Select all, Copy (CTRL+a, CTRL+C)
3) add a layer mask (click the rectangle with a circle in the bottom of the layers panel) [to be able to change transparency]
4) target the mask [so that you can past an image in it] ALT+click the mask, paste the image.
5) Invert the colors of the mask (CTRL+I) [in order for the white to be transparent and the black opaque].
You now have a layer whose transparency is based on the lightness of the pixels.
Hope that's what you are after!

How to get video from DVD into FCE?

Hi,
I have a DVD which I got from a childhood friend. The DVD contains a compilation of old film clips (her family had old super 8 movies transferred to DVD). I'm trying to import the clip (it's one long video clip, 30 mins long) into FCE for editing. But, when I try to import, all I see on the DVD is one file folder labeled VIDEO_TS; this folder contains eight files with strange suffixes, such as .IFO, .VOB, and .BUP, none of which are accessible. Anyone have any idea how I can get the files into Final Cut Express?
I would really appreciate any advice. Thank you.
Vic

Hi again, Martin. I did the 'conversion', and it appeared something was happening (i.e. a 'progress bar' showed that something was going on, and it took about 20 mins or so. So, I figured it was doing the conversion. Once done, a 'play' button appeared, but when I pressed it, nothing happened. Does that sound like I'm missing the MPEG2 Playback Component?
Note: I noticed during the conversion an indication that the file, about 2 gigs seemed to be being created, but for the life of me, I don't know where the file went (i.e. I don't know where (or even if) it was stored on my computer). Anyways, the process seems not to have worked. I guess, as you said, I'll need to purchase the Playback Component?
Thanks for your help.

hi there i want to no how i put dvds into itunes so i can put them onto my iphone4 myself as i have got 1000s cheers

Since you are referring to commercial DVDs, they are all encrypted to prevent copying. In the US (and other places) it violates the law to use software to bypass encryption, so the Terms of Use here prohibit discussions on how to accomplish this. You might want to consider using a search engine instead.
