How Do You Convert a DVD video to an mpeg video?

I was just wondering...how do you convert a DVD disc that has videos in it and make it into quicktime mpeg videos that can make the computer understand?

Hi Ryan.
The FREE program HandBrake will convert DVDs or just sections into mpeg4 files. They can't be imported directly into FCE but they can be imported into iMovie.
Then you just copy the iMovie files into FCE.
Download it here:-

How can you convert a large video file from the photo cache of an iphone3g to a playable file on a pc?

how does one transfer a large ( 1gb) video file from an iphone3g photo cache to a pc in a playable format?

The same way you would import any photo/video from a digital camera. Connect the iPhone to the computer and import the file. Then it can be played with Quicktime or any software that supports that file format.

How do you convert audio to ac3 in DVD SP 4 without a.pack

how do you convert audio to ac3 in DVD SP 4 without a.pack
thanks

NO. If you let DVDSP make your encoding you'll get uncompressed audio (AIFF/PCM) what means most probably high bitrate issues during building/playback and a lot of the space of your disc.

Most camera videos are AVCHD videos or MTS videos. You should convert them to iMovie supported video formats with a tool like handbrake or enolsoft video converter for mac.

Probably the easiest way to do this is to download a free media convertor. Most will be able to convert video into audio files.

How do you imort a .vob video format into I photo or I movie?

How do you imort a .vob video format into I photo or I movie? I tsays it is not a readable format. can that be changed?

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/
(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.
If you are running Lion:
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, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
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. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

Can you sync "actual DVD videos" to your ipod Video?

Does anyone know (perferably iPod video owners) if you could download a DVD onto your computer, either from a DVD to your computer, or from limewire, or kazaa, or something, then sync it to your iPod? if it has to be a certain format, and it is not the correct type, how do you convert it to the right type of format? Thank you anyone who can answer this question.......i am considering to get an iPod Vidoe 30GB and knowing the answer to this question would very much help me make my decision on weather to get it or not...thank you again!!!

"Does anyone know (perferably iPod video owners) if you could download a DVD onto your computer, either from a DVD to your computer, or from limewire, or kazaa, or something, then sync it to your iPod?"
yes you can
"if it has to be a certain format, and it is not the correct type, how do you convert it to the right type of format?"
ipod plays mov and mp4 files, there are numerous third party software that allow you to convert other video formats to mov or mp4 (Videora being one of the freeware ones). Others can convert movie files directly so you can throw them onto your ipod after converting them.

How do I convert my DVD's to iPod

How do I convert my DVD movies with Quicktime so I can watch them on my iPod?
I don't see any options in QT, where is it buried?
I'm not going to spend any money for the Pro version until I see how it works.
Many Thanks

To convert a DVD for iPod use, you'll need to use third-party software.
You'll first need decrypting software to remove the encryption on the DVD.
Then you'll need conversion software to convert the decrypted files into an iPod friendly format.
Sometimes, both of those tasks can be accomplished with one piece of software.
PQ DVD seems to be popular for Windows users, as well as ImTOO.
Many other titles have been mentioned in this forum. Your question gets asked, and answered, a lot.
Here are some search results for you to review. There's great information contained in these previous posts.

1. I ran software update and am up to date. Does this mean that my yet to be activated Boot Camp ap is also up to date?
There are 4 confusing pages of updates listed at Apples website for Boot Camp. I am having a hard time understanding what I need and don't need. For example, what version of Boot Camp do I have? I have Boot Camp Assistant version 3.0.4. Does this mean I have Boot Camp ver 3?
You have Mac OS X Snow Leopard, so you are going to use Boot Camp 3 on Windows. After installing Windows 7 on your MacBook, insert the Snow Leopard DVD and install the Boot Camp drivers from here. Then, as the Boot Camp drivers that your Snow Leopard disc contain are outdated, open Apple Software Update on Windows to install the most recent Boot Camp drivers.

2. The printed Boot Camp instructions do not explain the process of using downloaded Windows drivers; the instuctions only refer to drivers on the original disks. I have the original install disks from around mid 2010 but I am sure many things have been updated by now. Wouldn't the best idea be to download and install? But the instructions only cover using the original disks. How do I use downloaded drivers?
On Snow Leopard, you can only download the Boot Camp drivers for the Late 2010 MacBook Air. On Lion and Mountain Lion, you have to download the Boot Camp drivers for all the computers. If you try to download the Boot Camp drivers on Snow Leopard with your computer, you will get a message telling that there aren't any drivers to download for your MacBook Pro

How do you convert channels.dvb to channels.conf

Title says is all. How do you convert the kaffeine file channels.dvb to a channels.conf file which can be used by mplayer.
The winterhill transmitter in the UK is now totally digital, since the change over I've not been able to get BBC channels properly in mplayer. The receiver is a Freecom DVB-T USB. I've manually edited the uk-WinterHill file with the transmitter info to update it and used it to create a channels.conf file.
scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/uk-WinterHill > /home/~/channels.conf
This picked up pretty much all the channels & I can tune into BBC channels but receive no picture. I've googled a bit and it seems other people have this problem too and they think it's a problem due to the increased power of the signal after the change over to digital. I've tried a variable attenuator which did no good.
I've now found that kaffeine can scan for and find the BBC channels AND it can also play them back properly. So the theory about the signal strength being too much for the freecom sticks attenuator is probably a load of guff, at least in my case.
The data for BBC One from the kaffeine channels.dvb is:-
TV|BBC ONE|101(2)|102(eng),106(eng),|0|4168|4168|Terrestrial|802000|0|v|-1|-1|-1|-1|8|-1|-1|-1|45|105(16)(1)(1)(eng),||9018|-1|0|
The same data from the mplayer/scan channels.conf is:-
BBC ONE:802000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_2_3:FEC_AUTO:QAM_64:TRANSMISSION_MODE_8K:GUARD_INTERVAL_1_32:HIERARCHY_NONE:101:102:4168
I really don't want to keep kaffeine installed and any links or info that would help convert these channel data files would be greatly appreciated. Seems there are ways to convert them the other way round, but so far I've found nothing to do it fron channels.dvb to channels.conf

Do you want to capture a single frame of the video as a separate image? You can play the video full screen in QuickTime, pause it at the appropriate frame and take a screenshot using shift-command-3.
