How do you import off of a DVD???

If you already have a DVD, how do you import this into Premire CS3? We have a dozen football games that were recorded on a DVD camcorder and immediately put into the share station to finalize. We want to make a skills video for college coaches from these.

> Hook a DVD player to the "in" of your mini DV camera and capture through firewire as usual. Very simple.
Simple and crappy and slow. In addition to the unnecessary D->A->D conversion (the quality of which will vary greatly depending on your DVD player, cables, and DV camera) and the fact that "real-time" (+ the setup time of cabling and hitting the play and recond buttons and all that) is the best performance you'll ever achieve ... there is the difference in chroma subsampling between the two formats:
1.) NTSC DV uses 4:1:1 subsampling, while DVD is 4:2:0. To look at this another way, NTSC DV has oblong 4x1 blocks of color while DVD uses 2x2 squares. By converting from one to the other, you will end up with 4x2 blocks -- a serious degradation of the color information.
2.) PAL DV, like DVD, uses 4:2:0 chroma -- but it sampled differently. I'm not exactly certain of what would occur during an analog transfer, but it is likely that the vertical color resolution would be further degraded. This is certainly true (or truer) when the DVD source is Upper Field First (DV being "lower", always). This would result in 2x4 chroma blocks.
Also, should the alignment of the video in the analog signal be slightly shifted (very likely) the resulting chroma information can be further screwed up.
DV is really not the nicest compression in the world and it should be avoided whenever possible -- especially for re-compression of another digital format.
When dealing with digital formats (whether it's audio, video or photos) it is always best to work with the original material and to sacrifice quality (when it must be sacrificed) at the latest possible stage.

HT1349 how do you import video to Aperture from a dvd with a unix executable file

how do you import video to Aperture or imovie from a dvd with a unix executable file?

Allan's suggestion of using the iDisk will work but will fill up the iDisk unless you do housecleaning occasionally. Another, non Apple way would be to upload them to an account on Twango.com. It sort of like MyTube but for photos and videos and is more personal in nature. It's free (monthly uploads are limited to 250MB/mo) and others can easily pop into your public channel (individual sections of a person's account are called channels) and download whatever size you want. You can select the size of your uploads from full sized to 1600, 1024 or 640 pixels max. What I like about the site is that you can email photos to your account. Makes it rather easy. You can also add slideshows and a ticker tape type of display from Twango to web pages (they create the code to use for the channel you select) like this. It's not an Apple thing but I've found it's quick. May or may not be what you're looking for.
Do you Twango?

How do I import DVD to IMovie? What is the best way to import DVD to a Mac?

Hi everyone!
I need some help, so here are my questions.
How do I import DVD to IMovie? What is the best way to import DVDs to a Mac?
I would like to keep the original quality from the DVD.
Thx.

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.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.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 you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto?

How do you import photos from a library on an external drive to the current library running in iPhoto? I have a few different pictures in each library and would like to have all my pictures in both libraries. The library on the external drive is my backup. I would appreciate any help.

Depends on exactly what you want to do.
Just move some of the Photos? FIle -> Export from one and export the shots to the Finder. Then import them to the other.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Move the photos and all versions and metadata: use iPhoto Library Manager it's the only way to do this while preserving everything. Merge two Libraries into one?
If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

How do you import media and metadata from Windows Photo Gallery database?

How do you import videos and photos and their metadata from a Windows Photo Gallery database into the Elements Organizer, especially metadata that is only contained in the Photo Gallery database file (pictures.pd6) and not embedded in the video and photo media files themselves?
And when you import the metadata into Organizer, do you get all of these available elements?

Also, if the media files in Organizer are ever moved to another PC, is there a way to migrate all of the Organizer's metadata with the files to use with another instance of Premiere Elements?

OK. I think we're getting close to the answer.
The reason I'm asking about this is because for Photo Gallery, media files can NEVER be moved without losing all database metadata. I'm sorry I didn't know this when I started with Photo Gallery and I think I've learned an important lesson: Be sure you can move your work BEFORE you start.
So, to clarify Organizer's behavior, let me ask the question another way. Let's say that in a few years, after I've added tags, people, places, etc. to hundreds of media files in Organizer, I decide to get a new PC. When I move all that stuff to my new petabyte drive on the new PC, do we know if Premiere Elements Organizer on the new PC would be able to read the original Organizer's metadata?

How do you import copyright controlled cds into Itunes?

Hi
how do you import copyright controlled cds into Itunes?
When i put the cd into my computer, Itunes does not read it like a regular cd. It does not show up in my source list.
I just want to put the songs on the cd onto my ipod.
The cd will play in windows media player and i was able to save the cd as wma files onto my computer, and then i tried to import those files, but Itunes says the file is copyright controlled, and the only way for itunes to import it is with the orignal cd? The original cd was in my D drive the whole time, but it still will not let me import.
I also tried physically looking into the CD for the music files, but those aren't there. The cd is like an enhanced cd where if you look into the drive for files there are no files except for 2 icons. The actual icon the open the player to play the cd and a uninstall icon.
does anyone know how to do this? PLEASE HELP!

I have downloaded the latest version of Itunes. I don't think that is the problem. Music companies have started issuing "copyright controlled" cds now especially on import versions of cds. I have the original cd, but Itunes cannot import it due to the copyright because it is protected. I read the "help" file on the cd, and what it does is you can play it as much as you like, you can make a copy of the cd only 3 times. The copy of the CD is also copyright protected. I have tried Itunes, WMA, Sonicstage, Sonic and etc programs, but nothing has worked.
Hopefully, someone from APPLE will now what I mean about the copyright controlled CDs. I only want to be able to listen to the music on my IPOD. Nothing has worked

How do You import an MS Access MDB into Dreamweaver CS5?

Hi;
How do You import an MS Access MDB into Dreamweaver CS5?
Developed a DBase application for a vertical market using MS Access. Worked on it for over a decade.
Have been in contact with a rather large company and we are talking about licensing my program with them.
BUT; they want it "On the Cloud"
Here is what needs to be accomplished. Ideally a user can log in from anywhere, (similar to on-line banking), enter data and print reports.
Read this a few days ago:
"If I were in your situation and felt that there's a growth market for your offerings, I would personally go with a PHP/MySQL-based model. The printing issue can be readily resolved with PDF-based output.
So the Querys, Forms and VBA Code needs to be brought in from MS Access to Dreamweaver.
Can this be done? Or is there a better way that I haven't learned yet?
Would someone be so kind and point me in the correct direction.
Thank You for taking the time to read this post.
Andy

>Can this be done?
No, not any way that I know of. You would need to completely rewrite this as a web application. Obviously the MS Access tables can be migrated to MySQL and the Access queries converted to views. But the forms and custom code needs to be written from scratch in html and your choice of server side programming language.

How do you import motion 5 documents to FCPX?

how do you import motion 5 documents to FCPX?

Yes it is 64-bit. I'm still getting used to that and have see it does make a difference. I am at work at the moment so I cannot run the conversion utility, but that looks promising.
On a related/similar note, before work this AM. since the catalog conversion failed, I decided to try to import all my images. They are sitting on an external hard drive. The good news is that when I started the import, PE13 recognized the tags that were assigned in PE5. That was very important to me. .
So, it looks like I may have two feasible paths to follow:
1. Re-import all the images and re-use my tags
2. Run the 64-bit catalog conversion utility and import/restore my catalogs
I frankly cannot tell which option is easier, better or preferred. My objective is to get back to an arrangement whereby I can view all my photos in the organizer (by catalog). My catalogs are quite simple. Most all images were in a base catalog. I was running on a 2006 WinXp machine using PE5. The catalog had ~ 30000 images. It was bogging down when I'd scroll through the catalog. I recently created catalog #2 for some special activities (I.e., Kids Sports) so that I could view and retrieve them easily. I might have 1000 images in this catalog.
My preferred viewing is to see everything in one catalog, and use tags to segregate them for specific viewing/usage. I suspect that has a performance impact. Any thoughts on best approach?
Thank You
