How to download a DVD movie into Premiere Elements 12 using my MacBook Pro so I can edit the video?

Bob Perez
Please review and consider the following which works for me in Premiere Elements 12 Window 64 bit.
From what you wrote, I suspect that you have DVD-VIDEO widescreen on DVD disc. For now I will assume that you are working in a NTSC setup.
Premiere Elements DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc is characterized as interlaced video with field order lower (bottom) field first. I am not sure how your DVD-VIDEO on DVD was produced - upper (top) field first or lower (bottom) field first. We may have to apply Field Option Reverse Field Dominance at the Timeline level, but for now let us put that aside for a later time.
Insert your DVD disc in the DVD burner tray.
Open Premiere Elements to the Expert workspace and set the project preset manually for NTSC DV Widescreen. How to details for manual project preset setting are found
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
Then, Add Media/DVD camera or Computer Drive/Video Importer.
The video files from the DVD-VIDEO will be the larger size files and will probably start with VTS_01_1.VOB.
In the Video Importer designate the save location for video file VOB(s) and select Add to Timeline and hit Get Media
to put the files on the Timeline for editing.
If you have more than one DVD disc to "rip", please set up the Video Importer Save In location so that the save in location has a folder for each disc. The fact that all DVDs have the same VTS_01_1.VOB name etc will cause problems if you saved all to the same place as individual files.
Determine how that works for you in your Mac computer environment. We will be watching for your progress.
Others may tell you that you need to convert the VOB to another format before import into Premiere Elements. That is no necessary for Premiere Elements.
Thank you.

HT4889 How do I copy one profile to another profile on my Macbook Pro so I can delete the older profile?

I have a profile copied from my old Macbook with a Gdrive (apparently through migration assistant). I can't seem to get the two profiles to open in the same window so I can copy and paste from the older profile to the new one. Thanks.

Use two Finder windows. You can easily drag from one to the other.
However, that may cause permissions problems: the user account you drag the files to may not have permission to change or delete them.
If so, see the blue box in Transferring files from one User Account to another.

Is it possible to download a dvd movie into my itunes account so i can put it on my ipad?

Is it possible to download a dvd movie into my itunes account so i can put it on my ipad? If so, how?

Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected video DVDs, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries) and hence Apple explicitly forbids such posts. We're therefore not allowed to discuss it here. Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie for use on computers and portable devices. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature. Walmart/Vudu also has a service that basically gives you a digital copy of a DVD you already own. See:
http://www.vudu.com/disc_to_digital.html
If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. Once converted, you just drag the movie into the iTunes window on your computer.
Regards.

The IMAC will play rented dvd movies. The dvd movie plays fine on my Mac Book Pro (10.6.8) on the Pro's DVDPlayer (vers.5.4) abd in my external Sony DVD Player The dvd move was made/burned on a PC. Why will a dvd movie play on my Macbook Pro and not my IMAC?

Hello:
This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

How do I set up two separate iTunes accounts on one MacBook Pro in order to manage the wife's iPhone and my iPhone? Can this be done?

How do I set up two separate iTunes accounts on one MacBook Pro in order to manage the wife's iPhone and my iPhone (with separate info on each of course) ? Can this be done? A little step by step would be greatly appreciated; just short step by step though, I can follow fairly well.

You would each need to use your own user account on the Mac, you can do this at system preferences > users & groups.

I have just acquired an iMac desktop. I want to sign on to my airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network.

I have just acquired an iMac desktop (about 4 years old). I want to connect to my Apple airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network and don't want to jeopardize what already works well. I am not all that computer literate.

How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it.
Read the user manual that came w/your Airport router or you can cross-post in one of the AirPort Forums for instructions.

Does FCP perform better than adobe premiere elements on a MacBook Pro?

does FCP perform better than adobe premiere elements on a MacBook Pro?
Background:
* just trying to decide what to go for re video editing app with more features than iMovie
* last time I'd tried Adobe Premiere Elements on my MacBook (but it was before I had an SSD) the performance was not good - it was sluggish to the point I really didn't want to use it
* so this question is just about whether in general FCP X performs better on a Mac (you'd think it would no, as it's made/optimized for a Mac)
My MacBook:
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Elements is essentially an amateur app and Premiere a professional one similar to the discontinued Final Cut Pro 7.
FCP X is a radical new approach to editing which like Marmite, you either love or hate.
It is probably between the 2 in capabitlity but much closer to Premiere.
Some might say it was better than Premiere, whilst other long standing broadcast editors would disagree.
It all depends on your standpoint and I am trying to give an unbiased appraisal.
Some of the techniques it uses are way ahead of all other apps and this is what worries people who have an established way of working, though as I mentioned in another post, there are a few omissions which have upset those editors.
Some might say (echoes of Jeremy Clarkson) that FCP X is the most advanced editing app on the planet albeit with a few teething troubles.

Is it possible to download purchased DVD movies into my computer?

Looking to import DVD movies into computer and then into my IPOD? Is this possible? If so, how can I do it?

Looking to import DVD movies into computer and then
into my IPOD? Is this possible? If so, how can I do
it?
Yes you can. You will need a couple of programs. First you will need a program to put the dvd on your computer. Decrypter works well for that. google it and you will find plenty of sites to download it.
Then you will need a program that will convert it to the right format for your ipod. There are several programs out there that will do this. I use this one http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html
both the programs that I gave you are free and do work quite well. There are pay programs that convert them in on step, I heard they are faster, but have not tried them. I do know the two that I recomended to you work very well and I have not had a problem with either one. Hope this helps.

How do I get DVD movies into iTunes (and thus my iPad)?

I have a pc with Windows XP. How do I import my DVD movies into iTunes? Do I need to buy additional software? Or is my best bet joining netflix?
Thanks!

you can copy them for your own use.
Copying is not the issue. Breaking the encryption is.
But it's kind of a catch 22 in that you cannot copy a DVD unless you break the encryption.
in Europe it is not
Europe is not one country.
Most European countries have their own equivalent of the DMCA and it is illegal to break the encryption in some of these countries.

HOW TO GET ZIP PHOTO Files INTO Premiere elements 12

What is the file extension of this zipped folder.....zip or 7-Zip or something else?
If you have a ordinary .zip folder with a .jpeg photo inside it, you should be able to right click the zipped folder, select Extract All from drop down list, and then follow the instructions to get the unzipped folder that you open by double clicking it in order to see and use the photo.
Also, if this photo was edited in Photoshop and has a CMYK color profile, you will not be able to open it in Premiere Elements (any version).
Keep away from the Adobe Reader if all that you have is a zipped folder.
We will be watching for your progress.
Thanks.

How to install Photoshop Elements 11 on Macbook Pro 10.8.3 after the installer failed to initialize

I tried several times to install Photoshop Elements 11 on my new Macbook Pro (10.8.3) but the installer failed to initialize and the Support Advisor inspection could not identify any issue. I went today to the Apple Store to get help and the Genius guy couldn't resolve the problem either. He told me to contact Adobe Support and he gave me an Adobe token number.
Does anyone knows how can I resolve this problem? Any help would be truly appreciate it!!!
Thanks a lot!!!

Premiere Elements 11 is adding a red tint to all the video out create

I have put two clips of .mts video on my timeline. When I watch the video from the timeline, it looks great. However, when I output the video (in any format) it has an awful red tint. I've tried several output options (different version of mpg as well as different version of avchd). They all have the red tint.
Here is a link to the video. You can easily see the red tint. This is not the way the video looks from within Premiere Elements. Also, I know that Youtube is not the source of the tint, because the tint appears on all the files that I output from Premiere Elements onto my hard drive.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6zimlsmJdI&feature=youtu.be
What is causing this, and how can I prevent it?

OK. Here are some screenshots that I hope illustrate the issue I'm dealing with. This first picture shows what the video looks like on the preview screen from within PRE. The image is taken from my Acer external monitor at home. Notice the natural looking skin tones.
After creating an .mpg version of the file and saving it on my hard drive and viewing it with Windows Media Player on my Acer external monitor, this second picture shows what the image looks like. Notice the red tint on the skin.
This third picture shows the same .mpg file as it appears on the built-in screen on my laptop. Notice that the skin tones look a little more natural, but they still display some red tint. They definitely don't look as natural as the skin tone in the first picture (as the image appears from the preview screen within PRE).
A few extra notes: I realize that these images may appear differently to other viewers whose monitors will display them differently. However, I think that comparing the first image in the series with the second two will show a significant change in skin tone.
A second note: When I view the .mpg file on my ViewSonic monitor in my office, the red tint on the skin tone is almost gone.
A third note: Because the ViewSonic external monitor doesn't seem to have the red tint problem, it seems to point to a problem with my Acer external monitor. However, as the images above show, the built-in screen on my laptop also shows the red tint. But, more importantly, if the problem is with my Acer external monitor, then I don't understand why it shows such natural skin tones on the image displayed within PRE preview window.
A final note: I attached a screen clip from the image as it appeared on an .mpg file. However, the same red tint appears on several version of .mpg as well as .mp4 files that I created with PRE.
Thanks for helping me figure this out.

How to import a DVD movie into FCEHD

I need to import a home movie that is on a DVD into FCEHD.
The move was created with FCE and iDVD.
Thanks

Hi Larry.
If you read this post it should give you some useful information:-
Ian R. Brown, "How Do You Convert a DVD video to an mpeg video?" #2, 06:02am Oct 10, 2005 CDT
Also, as well as HandBrake you could try ffmpegx which will give you better quality as you can convert the MPEG2 files into DV and import it directly into FCE.
It is Shareware. You can use it free of charge but if you find it extremely useful they would like you to make a payment - I think it is $15.

How to download purchased DVD movies?

I'm having difficulty finding a way to upload purchased DVD movies onto my MacBook Pro. My hope is that once I get them on the MacBook that I can put them on the iPad. Is this possible?

Dvd movies/tv show/etc are encrypted to stop you from doing this.
Breaking this encryption is illegal.
