How To Copy DVDs 2010 MBP?

Hi guys!
I need to make copies of some basketball games I have on DVD , and I was wondering how to do it. I did a few a while ago, but I forgot the steps. I think it went something like insert the source disk, then go Disk Utility > Create Disk Image > and then I'm lost...
Any help will be gratefully appreciated!
Have a great day (or night)!

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!

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 dvd to external harddisk?

Do anyone know?

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 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:

2010 MBP, No Access to writable DVD's, Need to Install Windows 8

This should be a fun question for the community.
The Situtation:
I have a 2010 13in Macbook Pro, No Access to Blank Writable DVD's, have an .iso copy of windows 8 (4.7 GB total), and a 8GB Flash drive, 26GB BootCamp Partition Already Made.
My goal is to install Windows 8 via the 8GB Flash Drive to my newly created BootCamp Partition on my 2010 MBP.
Question:
How to i go about this painful procedure. What I really need to do is find a way for my mac to create a bootable USB with the Windows 8 .iso file. and have bootcamp install the OS on my bootcamp partition.
Thank You,

There are basically 3 types of factory restore. You should be able to perform it without the need of recovery disks by going through the recovery partition unless it is corrupted. Watch this video fully on how to perform a factory restore. It was written for desktops but the basics are the same for laptops.
To order recovery disks, if needed, f you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144, and see if you can still get a set of recovery disks.

I need to do a clean install of maverick on my 2010 mbp what disk do i use and how do i move certain files from an external hard drive

I want to do a clean install of maverick on my 2010 mbp. I need to know what disk to use and also how i take certain files off my external hard drive and put on my computer. When I was having problems with my airport they did a clean install and they pulled files of my time machine.   however they forgot to put the partition back in for a windows side. Originally I had Parellels on my computer. After my external hard drive got corrupted i called apple and they fixed the problem but didn't have me set up the time machine except for the external hard drive. Now my only back up is from the external not from the laptop.    I am not sure how to do any of this. I am not computer savvy...PLEASE I NEED HELP>

First, you need to make a backup of your MBP onto your external drive. I suggest you start by cloning your MBP drive to the external drive:
Clone Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
This clone is fully bootable and also contains a clone of your Recovery HD.
Second, you need to do a clean install of OS X onto your MBP as follows:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should accomplish your goals. You will have a clean install of OS X on your MBP and a bootable clone of your old system and all your files on the external drive.

How to copy address book archive to a dvd

Recently synced iphone to imac and lost all contacts (aargh!!!!). Itunes was set for automatic backup, so the backup contact file was also blank. Found a two year old copy of my contacts. I have now manually inputted them all. I created an addressbook archive file. However, I can not find out how to (1) copy or burn this archive to a dvd so I can restore from it if needed again and (2) how to print a copy of the entire addressbook>
Please help!!
P.S.
I read through a lot of previous posts and saw where this iphone syncing and deleting contact lists is not a new problem. It also is not a function of my being a neo-luddite. Many others have had this happen. Is there some type of fix in the works to deter this from continuing to happen?
Thanks,
Ralph

Also found how to copy Address Book, as well as all others files on my computer.
The answer is to open Address Book.
Under FILE menu>Export>Address Book Archive
at prompt, Save to which ever location you wish on your computer ( I chose Documents). This will create an archive of your contact list with that date. Archive after anytime you change or add an address card. If saved to the same location on the same computer, prompt will ask if you want to Replace current>OK. If you archived on different days, you will create a new file with different date. You can throw away previously dated file or save as a backup.
To copy this file and all other files on my computer, I had to download the latest copy of Backup (v3.2) from the Apple downloads page under Apple support. This provides an installer to create a back up iDisk. I installed Backup>( it creates an Umbrella icon on my desktop)>followed the instructions to create a backup>program has standard backup protocols or you can customize.
I chose to backup my Home folders to a CD/DVD. System will tell you the size of the file and how many CD's or DVD's you will need. Select Burn.
Voila!!!!
I now have a DVD that contains all of the files in my Home folder (including the Address Book archive). This DVD will allow me to restore files to my computer, if I accidentally erase it again. Note that this method will not allow you to backup the entire startup, only files. You must use an external drive or Time Machine to create a rebootable copy of the operating system.
Hope this helps others.
