iPhoto pulls off new videos from my iPhone 5 just fine. Does iPhoto automatically come up when you connect your iPhone? If it does, you should see your iPhone under "Devices" in iPhoto and then can select the videos to transfer (select, then Import Selected), though that should happen automatically.

Hi,
I have a jpeg movie file 60 mins long and a text file tell me five time-lines for breaking the movie. For example, break the movie at 10:21, 16:05�
The final output should be five small jpeg movie files. Each file contains a 90 sec (30 sec before the break time and 60 sec after the break time).
Do you know any java library (jar) contain the library that can help me on programming this? Any existing source code? Any SDK for a movie editor can do that?
Please help.
Thanks
Kenny

Capturing a photo from a video

I am running Adobe Photoshop Element V6.0 on Windows XP.
I have read the Photoshop help on how to capture a photo from a video, but have not successfully done it.
I click on File > Import > Frame from video. When the video is playing, I click on the "Grab Frame" button; the "Frames Captured" button shows that I did capture the frame.
This is where I'm stuck. What is supposed to happen next or what do I do next? The "help" just just shows a big blue arrow pointing down to the bottom of the screen.

> the video blinks as if it really is capturing the frame
I've never seen a blink.
I would start by deleting the prefs: Quit the editor, then restart while holding down ctrl+alt+shift. Keep holding the keys till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

How to Optimize Quality of DVD Video using Premier 6.5

I am looking for some advice how to get the best video quality on the MPEG-2 DVDs I create. I capture my MiniDV video into Adobe Premiere 6.5 in AVI format using a D-Link (at least 2 years old) 1394 fireware card. I set my default projects settings to Microsoft DV Compressor, Frame Size 720 x 480, 16x9 aspect, 29.97 fps, depth millions, quality 100%. Once my editing is done, I export using Adobe Premier 6.5 MPEG encoding (I have the latest 1.3 update). I typically pick the DVD 16x9 High Bit Rate setting. My DVDs look OK. The Canon ZR30 MC MiniDV Camcorder I have been using recently died; it was about 5 years old. I just replaced it with a 3CCD MiniDV camcorder from Panasonic (PV-GS320) that should help in terms of the source video quality. I am not ready for HD. Too expensive to upgrade my PC and disk subsystem in particular and my preference will be an HD camcorder with no spinning hard drive or moving tapes. We are very close to this. I imagine many folks are in my boat in this in-between stage where we get to watch HD on our LCD TVs but must work in the stone ages with our DVD video editing software and equipment. I would appreciate any suggestions how to get better performance either by upgrading to newer software from Adobe (provided this will really help), buying a better capture card, changing my settings in Premier. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

>typically pick the DVD 16x9 High Bit Rate setting
I will qualify this by saying that I (used to) use Premiere 6.02 and the MPEG output added by a Pinnacle Dv500 card's software, so I don't have any direct experience with Premiere 6.5 and the MainConcept coding engine
But, I am
switching over to Premiere Pro
which also uses MainConcept, so I have some experience with settings
For a video up to one hour, your current settings are probably the best you can do
For over one hour, you should look at 2-pass VBR settings
In Pro, there is a place to adjust the 3 individual components, and I used a MINimum bitrate of 3 and MAXimum bitrate of 7 (see below) and would then play with the TARGET bitrate to have the highest setting where the software would say there was enough space (on a DVD) to export the project
That "play with" consisted of adjusting the target bitrate a tenth at a time (6.5 6.4 6.3 etc) until the status message would change from insufficient space to READY... at which point I knew I had the best quality the software could give

And, some general information about burning DVD's
To
Burn Error Proof DVDs (Well, close to error proof!)
Use the SLOWEST possible burn option your burner will allow in Encore, since it is much better to take a bit more time burning the disc than it is to burn "fast" and have a disc that won't play
Set the VIDEO portion of the transcoding options to a Maximum of 7,000 so your burned disc will have a better chance at playing in desktop players (which support burned discs, if at all, only as an "after thought" of the DVD specification)
Use AC3 or PCM audio transcode settings for best player compatibility (some discussion of MPEG audio not being supported by all players, especially for NTSC discs)
Buy and use Taiyo Yuden (or Verbatim?) brand blank discs

Capture segment of DVD video

I have a DVD and I want to capture a portion of the video on it so I can convert it for my iPod. What is the best approach for doing this? MPEG Streamclip? Is there anyway to tell the program to only capture the video from certain points in the DVD video timeline?
THank you,
TM

Comeon. It's not that complicated. Just do a little exploring in Mpegstreamclip and you'll figure it out. Hey, if I could figure it out.... well maybe that's not true. Now, I'm going to get a bunch of email's telling me how terrible and cruel I am. Well I can live with that.

How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?

How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

MPEG Streamclip.
Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.

How do I transfer legally Owned DVD's to my iPod Video?

I got a new iPod Video for christmas and I want to know how to take my own personal DVD's and transfer them to my iPod. I've read lots of threads about this subject but I haven't been successful in transfering anything. I downloaded Videora and DVDFab Decrypter but I don't know how to use them. I also found a lot of feedback saying that it would be illegal to transfer DVD's to the iPod and all I can say to that is, that's absolutely ridiculous. I bought the DVD's legally and should be able to transfer them. I paid for them and I don't plan on selling them to anyone else so explain to me what's illegal about it. I think that preventing us from transfering DVD's is just another way for Apple to make money. Eventually they'll come out with a Movie library in iTunes that you'll have to pay for, they already have music videos and tv shows. The other thing that really ****** me off is that in no way do they make clear that you're not allowed to transfer DVD's to your iPod. I think that a lot of people assumed along with me that you can transfer any movies you wanted to the iPod without a problem and the fact that you can't is a serious question in my mind as to whether or not Apple has committed fals advertising. Apple products are already priced much higher than they should be and I feel that this is just another way for them to make money. Sorry I needed to rant. Can anyone help me transfer my DVD's to my iPod? Or direct me towards some other 3rd party programs that might work easier?

"Why would anyone want to stare at that little screen for 2+ hours... I dont think apple false advertised at ALL...
Watching a movie would just kill your battery and waste a lot of space on your iPod which was first intended for music..
Pretty common sense if you ask me."
whowhat I think that a lot of people want to watch movies on the new iPod otherwise the software that transfer DVD's to iPod's wouldn't exist. And I'm sorry but what is the point of making an iPod video if you can't watch movies on it? so that you can watch a music video for 3 minutes? or your choice of 5 tv shows or however many there are? I don't think so. I just feel that if I pay $400 for a new iPod and I spend $20 on a movie, I shouldn't have to pay an extra $30 just so I can get the software that puts DVD's onto my iPod. Obviously if I'm at home I'm not going to sit and stare at the iPod but the whole point of an iPod is that you can have all your music and all your videos on the go when you're on a plane or a train or a long car ride. I just think it's bull **** the way apple does business making everything overpriced and all I'm saying is that when I bought the new iPod I expected that I would be able to put my own movies onto the iPod. And even though when you buy a DVD you're buying the right to view it, not the rights to it, all I would be doing is viewing it on my iPod, how is that wrong?

DVD Video Capture Software

Hello,
I have a newbie video question. We have a customer that needs to have an old video edited slightly for upload to the web. I own Premiere Pro CS4, but need to get the video from the original DVD, which contains and Audio_TS and Video_TS folder with associated files contained therein.
In the past, I've had to borrow a piece of hardware that ran from a traditional DVD player to my computer to capture the DVD video, which then would be able to import it into Premiere for editing.
Does anyone know if there is a software that would allow me to avoid the hardware interface between the DVD player to my computer? It would be so much easier to be able to put the DVD in my Mac, and somehow capture the video, so I could then be able to edit in Premiere.
This may not be impossible I don't know, but we don't do much video, and hate to borrow the hardware again or sub it out.
Thanks for any help.
Corey

Just a quick follow up to those who read this thread. On my Intel iMac, I ended up using the free MPEG Streamclip for Mac (http://www.squared5.com) to convert the VOB files on the original DVD, and then converted them to quicktime format for editing.
The file renaming mentioned above didn't work for me. I ended up with multiple errors.
The MPEG Streamclip software demultiplexed as Angelo suggested above. While it worked perfectly for me and was free, I did have to purchase the QuickTime 6 MPEG-2 Playback Component for Mac OS X (http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A?mco=MTIxODk3Mw) for $19.99.
Before purchasing this component from Apple, Streamclip seemed to import the VOB files off the DVD, but nothing was visible and did not work properly. As a point of note, I'm running QuickTime v. 7.5.5.
Once the QT MPEG-2 component was purchased, downloaded and installed from Apple, Streamclip captured the entire DVD, audio and video, demultiplexed and exported in the format I chose. (QuickTime)
It was then easy to import the QuickTime file into Premeire and the editing began. No hardware bridge was needed to capture the DVD, and it seemed reasonably intuitive.
Though keep in mind, you will likely need to cough up the $20 dollars to Apple for the MPEG-2 component. Before purchasing that component, I couldn't get Streamclip to capture any of my DVDs'.
Hope the follow up helps someone...
