How to copy dvd to external harddisk?

Hello
I have like 25 dvds with private videos that I would like to make a backup on on my external harddisk, Lacie (1,23 TB free space)
How is the most easiest way to do it?
I can not see the dvd in finder when playing it? If so it would been easy to just make a copy paste!
In finder I can see the external harddisk plus samsung dvd recorder?
Do anyone know?
Txs alot in advance
Tommy

Repair permissions, restart your computer then insert your dvd when you reach the desktop. If that does not work, zap the pram and try again when you reach your desktop.

How to copy DVD

After searching the forum, I can't get a clear sense of how to copy a dvd I made with iMovie and iDVD on my wife's MacBook. I made a two DVD's on her computer a couple of years ago before we got a Mac desktop. I would like to rip/copy/transfer (?) those dvd's onto the desktop and synch them to my iPod also. Our desktop is OS X 10.5.8.
Won't you please help the lost and deficient?

use 3rd party apps such as HandBrake or _*MPEG Streamclip*_.
both have presets for iPod and TV.

Please help - how to copy DVD to computer so that it will play on computer

I apologize if this is the wrong forum, but I am stuck. I have a DVD of my son-in-law's memorial service that I need to copy onto my computer in a playable form. The DVD itself works great on both the TV, and on the computer (playing with iDVD on the latter). However, I simply do not know how to copy the contents of the DVD to my hard drive so that it will play directly from the drive, and so that I can place the video file in my .Mac public folder for relatives to download. When I open (not play) the DVD, I see two folders: AUDIO_TS which is empty, and VIDEO_TS, which contains files. I have copied these to my hard drive, and I have also made a disk image of the DVD on my drive. However, neither of these gives me a file on which I can click and get it to play. (If I insert the DVD itself into the computer, iDVD launches and the movie plays). Please help. Thank you!

Here's a sample of what you need to do:

How to Copy DVDs

I hope that this is an elementary question, so please someone enlighten me on my ignorance.
I would like to :
1) copy DVD's that I created in IMovie/DVD (my own videos, no copyright, so I should be able to do it!)
2) re-edit portions of DVDs that I previously created IMovie/IDVD
Can I do this with IMovie/DVD? Or do I need to buy/download another program such as Toast to accomplish this?
I thought that I was saving so much room by copying all my videotapes to DVD and then I realized that I couldn't copy them! I am a synchronized swim coach, and often need to make multiple copies of previous routine performances for my swimmers, and it just doesn't seem to be obvious to me.

Hi Dale and welcome to the forums!
1. You can clone/copy your own home-made DVDs in Disk Utility, but Toast is much easier to use for this.
2. This requires a bit more work as you are 'retro-engineering' a delivery format not intended for editing!
You need to convert the VOB files 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, as well as the the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
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. (I have to add that!)
If you know you will need multiple (but identical) copies of a DVD, then it is better to save the project as a Disk Image and burn copies from that. This saves all the rendering time from the first copy.
If you need multiple, but all slightly different, copies, then you will have to find room somewhere for the original iMovie project, which you can re-edit before sending to iDVD.

How to copy from an external hard drive collection to a folder on your mac?

I put 2000 images from my honeymoon on an external hard drive. I flag my favorites and work on 7 images i layter but in an collection. I am really proud of this 7 images and want to put them in my portfolio map on my laptop. BUT that seems to be impossible! I have the choice to move the files from the external hard drive or make a virtual copy! I want them in bout my external hard drive and laptop! This is turning out to be a mess. What to do now? And how to prevent this in the future?
What is the best way to manage and storage images?
If I only could copy an collection! SO FRUSTRATING.
Please help me

I am really proud of this 7 images and want to put them in my portfolio map on my laptop.
In Lightroom, select the 7 images, then use File->Export, and make sure the exported photos wind up in the desired location.
What is the best way to manage and storage images?
I would manage the photos inside of Lightroom using keywords, captions, flags, star ratings and any other Lightroom organizational tool that seems appropriate. I would then use Lightroom as the mechanism for searching for and locating and displaying whatever photos you are interested in finding. If you need copies of the photos for non-Lightroom use, as in your example of 7 images, then use File->Export.

How to copy catalog from external hard drive to computer hard drive to use smart previews when not connected to external hard drive?

I am very new to LR5. I have LR5 set up so that my catalog and photos are on an external hard drive. I found out that when not connected to the hard drive, LR5 cannot find my catalog, therefore, I cannot do any editing in smart previews unless connected to the external hard drive. How can I fix this issue so that I can edit photos without being connected to the external hard drive. Is there a way of copying the catalog off the hard drive on the computer hard drive or do I need to reestablish a new catalog using LR5? Does the catalog always need to be loaded on the hard drive? Thank you in advance.

Yes that is correct. The LR catalog must be on the computers internal drive. Then when you have Smart Previews enabled you can edit image without having the drive they are on connected. Then when you connect that drive the images will be updated.
Just COPY those 4 folders over to your internal drive to a folder called Lightroom Catalog that you create. Then Open LR and go to the File menu item and select Open Catalog. Browse to the folder you created called Lightroom Catalog and select the Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat file and click Open. Once Lightroom restarts open the preferences, Edit>Preferences, and on the General Tab in the Default Catalog section make sure "When starting up use this catalog:" area lists where you have copied those folders. Something like Macintosh HD/Wherever you created that folder/That folder name/Lightroom 5 catalog.lrcat.

How To Copy DVDs to iPod using free software for Windows

To take existing DVDs that you have around the house and put them onto iPod:
You'll need two programs, DVD Decrypter and Videora iPod Converter.
Now, use this step by step tutorial for converting DVDs with DVD Decrypter. Note: Once you reach the part about PSP Video 9, stop watching and use the 'One Click Transcode' option in Videora to select and convert the VOB file that DVD Decrypter produces.
Once you have a converted file, add it to iTunes in the same way as music (drag it into the iTunes library) and it will automatically copy across to your iPod.

Is that an error message coming up when you try to use the program? If not, I wouldn't worry about it.
If you cannot get DVDs to rip then that could be a problem. But to be honest, I have no idea what an ASPI layer is and my copy of DVD Decrypter works fine. I suspect this is probably an integral Windows component and you already have it.

How to copy DVD so it will play on a Windows PC?

I have a home made DVD that plays fine on both a Windows XP PC and my Mac OS X 10.4.11 system. I have used Disk Utilites to duplicate the disk, following the directions in the Help System for copying a DVD. All seems to work fine on my Mac, the copy plays just fine. When I put it into the Windows XP PC, the system does not recognize the disk as valid and asks me to insert a DVD.
Any thoughts on what I might be missing?

Try this method of duplication:

How to copy videos to external location while within a timeline

I have 1-hour footage dowloaded from my family mini-DVs and put onto the timeline. I need to cut out small sections and use them in multiple different projects. For example, there is a clip of my daughter and cousins dancing. I want to cut that out to use in a video on my daughter and also have it available to use on a project showing video of my cousins. I am trying to figure out the best way to organize/ copy these videos. Any ideas?

Other than copying them individually, the only option would be to try one of the various file recovery utilities such as Data Rescue (Prosoft Engineering), or File Salvage (SubRosaSoft). No guarantees that even those will be able to recover files from a failing hard drive, but they might be able to get at least some of the data. The only other option would be to send the drive to a data recovery service, and those are very expensive.
Regards.
