How to copy movie to a dvd on my iMac

I would like to purchase and download a movie from a website; then burn it to a DVD and then play it on my DVD player
Any suggested procedures for easily doing this?
Denny

use Finder, select the file you want to burn, put it in a folder, be sure file format is supported by the machine you are using eg mp4. right click on the folder and click burn ... to disc (the dvd must be in the drive). than watch the magic happen...
Remember
like babowa said about the copyright issue
the dvd player must support the wanted format
if you are not sure if the device supports the desired format put the video on a USB stick and plug it in the machine (most DVD players have USB ports build in)

how to copy movement types
please help it was asked in an interview
thanking u in advance

Hi,
Select the movement type and go to next screen. Give range as 101 to say Y01.
then you can specify target mvt types between this range. You cannot specify new mvt type as Z01 in this case.
hope it clarifies.

How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?

How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac? I started some projects on my MacBook Pro but would rather have the larger working area provided on the iMac large 27 inch screen.

Hi there rainyri!
The easiest way for you to do this is to transfer the information to an external drive as an intermediary, then transfer the information from your drive to the internal drive on your iMac. We have an article that explains the steps for doing this, and it can be found here:

How to copy movies into itunes...

Hi there,
I am just wondering how I could copy a movie from a DVD in my Laptop into the intunes mediathek.
Can anybody of you help me?
Thanks in advance, MIC

If you mean commercially released films or TV shows on DVD I'm afraid that can't be discussed as that involves breaking the encryption on them (which is illegal in most countries including the US and the EU). Such discussions are against the terms of use. "Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware.

How to Copy or Duplicate Video DVD's With Superdrive?

Copying CD's to the harddrive and then duplicating them on blank Cd's is easy. But what about DVD's? I have several DVD's of good movies, TV programs, etc. that I have recorded off of TV. I would like to make duplicates of some of them. If I insert a recorded DVD and have checked "open DVD player" upon insertion of DVD Video in the DVD Preferencdes Panel, then I have no option but to play the DVD once it is inserted. What application could I set the DVD preference to (other than "open DVD player") that would allow me to simply see the DVD icon after inserting it and then "copy" or "duplicate" it?

Disk Utiliy is another way to finish the task. Create a disc image for your source dvd in your harddisk, eject the source dvd and then insert a blank one, then choose burn.
On the other hand, if you need to edit the content of the dvd, for example, remove the commerical from recorded tv programs, you may need to extract the movies from your dvd (which are mpeg 2 encoded) using a free app called MacTheRipper and then use another free app called MPEG Streamclip to do the editing. These free apps can be downloaded from versiontracker.com. After finishing the editing, you may need Toast to burn the movies back to a blank dvd.

How to Copy a file from iPod Touch to iMac

I have used the native "Voice Recorder" app on an iPod Touch to record lectures. Generally, when the iPod is synced with the iMac, the files are copied from the iPod to the iMac and are located in "Voice Memos" on the iMac. I have two files that didn't copy to the iMac. They are still on the iPod. I have rebooted both machines several times and tried to sync afterward. The two files remain on the iPod, but aren't on the iMac. I would like to transfer the files to a thumb drive, but I cannot access them on the iPod in order to copy or move them.
From what I've read, there used to be a function in iTunes that was "enable disk use". Then you could view the memory of the iPod and move or copy files.
The iPod has iOS 5.1.1. It is a modelMC008LL. The iMac has OS X 10.7.3, 2.93 GHz Intel processor, 24" screen, and was produced in 2009.

I used iFunBox to access the files. I was not able to copy them to the "Voice Memos" directory on the iMac, but they copied fine to the Desktop on the iMac. That is puzzling to me.
Using iFunBox, I looked at a directory on the iPod called Raw File System. I was looking at voice memos. Several had five or more duplicates. The duplicates aren't visible on the iPod itself. I also found a Quick Time Movie file that I didn't recall. When I launched it, there was only sound. It was a voice memo that I had recorded five years ago. After recording it, I could not find it on the iPod. It appeared to be deleted and I had been careful to not delete it. I don't understand how it ended up as an .mov file as opposed to an .m4a file. The iFunBox app showed that file under the Raw File System and also under the Voice Memos directory.
I like the audio quality of the Voice Memo recordings, but its file handling is quirky.
Thank you for suggesting iFunBox. It allowed me to solve the problem of getting two files off of the iPod that I couldn't do in the normal way and I discovered and recovered a file that had been hidden for five years.

How do I copy my own movies from a DVD to my imac so I can edit? them.

I have made a number of VCR to DVD coversions and also DV camcorder imprints on DVD+R discs. I now would like to load these onto my iMac for further editing before i either reburn to another DVD the finished product to send to my children. These are all childhood movies of events. So far I have tried to use
iMovie to no success. and also no success just trying to add. files. I also tried to do it on my PC laptop. I created the original discs on a Toshiba DVR and they have been finalized. They play on the DVD in my mac but I cannot get them to download. How can I correct that? Is there a special software I need to buy or am I just ignorant?
Also I am unable to upload via firewire from my Sony DV camcorder to iMovie as well. It doesnt recognize it. Any suggestions how I can address this problem? Thanks for your help.

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.

Copy movie to a DVD

How do I copy a movie I to a DVD on my MacBook

What model Mac are you running and what system is installed? Your profile can't be correct as Mt. Lion won't install on a G4 Powerbook. Do you have iDVD installed on your Mac? The following is predicated on you having an optical drive and iDVD:
Method 1:
1 - create the slideshow in iPhoto and export via the Export button at the bottom of the window:
2 - select Medium or Large size and save in your Movies folder:
Note: best results are obtained if the photos in the slideshow are cropped to 4:3 size ratio as needed.
3 - launch iDVD and drag the Quicktime movie file of the slideshow into the iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
4 - follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
Method 2:
1 - create an album of the photos for the slideshow.
2 - launch iDVD, select your theme and add a slideshow with the "+" button at the bottom.
3 - open the slideshow in iDVD, go to the Media/Photos pane and drag the iPhoto album into the window at left.
4 - add any audio desired for the slidewhow via the Media/Audio pane.
5 - follow Step 4 from Method 1 above.
Either method will produce a video DVD that can be played on a computer or on a TV set with a DVD player. It will need to be mailed to the receipient. I use the small jewel boxes and use padded envelopes.

I'm trying to redeem my digital copies by inserting the disk and entering in my code, but I keep getting an error message that says "An error occurred while copying "*movie* from the DVD to your computer- the required disk cannot be found"

I don't know what is going on, I have tried this with several movies as we got a few for Christmas and I keep getting the same error message- I will admit that my MAC is a couple of years old, so I wonder if it is a hardware problem with my disk drive- the error message has a smaller type message saying to check the DVD for dirt or damage and try it again, but the disks are all brand new with nothing on them at all- I have already experienced trying to get a digital copy when it has expired (stupid movie companies) and they wouldnt' let me redeem it, I worry that I will have the same problem if I wait too long to get these movies...

yes have latest edition of itunes, i have two ipads connected to the itunes one is working one is not, they belong to my kids, i set them up at xmas for them and all working fine til yesterday, kids say they have done any thing, can i take it to an aplle shop< or any more ideas, it just repeating trying to sync and coming up with the disk space cannot be found, don't want to risk connecting my other ipad up to the computer, i havent changed anything on my computer for months

How to copy 5 minhome video DVD clip on to Macbook Pro than make a DVD cop

???
Can not figure out how do take the DVD R which plays fine and load to my macbook pro hard drive...(computer is brand new) than want to make copies of the clip on blank DVDs with no editing... just a straight copy.
Thanks

knbcpab,
Is this a mini DVD-R, burned directly in a camcorder? If it is, Do Not Attempt To Put It In Your Macbook Pro's Optical Drive!!!.
Mini disks cannot be read by your Superdrive, and they will get stuck in it, perhaps damaging it in the process. Apple will not cover any such damage.
Disk Utility will image, then produce as many copies as you like. But, doing so with a mini disk will require that you use an external, tray-loading drive capable of handling the mini disk. Of course, you can use your Superdrive as long as the disk is full-sized. With the disk mounted, select it in Disk Utility and click the "New Image" icon in the Toolbar. You need to create a "DVD/CD Master" image.
