How to edit a DVD

I moved some old VHS tapes onto a DVD and it plays OK in the DVD Player. The only files on the DVD disc is a folder called VIDEO_TS with many files inside that seem to match chapters in the separate VHS tapes.
I do not seem to be able to move anything into iMovie or IDVD by any drag or import method. What am I missing?

I just had a huge struggle with this, too. I'm far from an expert, but I will share what I've learned.
Apparently, you can't get the files off the DVD to edit in iMovie. You need additional software. Two options are Popcorn and Toast. Neither are cheap, though. Popcorn is about $50 and Toast is about $100. Be sure to look on Amazon at the reviews. Popcorn didn't get very good reviews. Though, reading them, I figured the problems people had may not have any connection with what I wanted to do. Anyway, I didn't want to pay $50 to be able to edit my DVDs.
I was told to look for a program called Handbrake. I downloaded this and went to get my DVDs. Ran into some problems (don't even remember exactly what at the moment) so I went to the Handbrake FAQs. It said that it didn't recommend using Handbrake to get DVDs to iMovie. So I took Handbrake off.
That's when I discovered MPEG Streamclip. This finally worked for me. However, you do need a Quicktime extension that costs $20, so it's not totally free.
Here's one thing I discovered though: You load your DVD into MPEG Streamclip. Then you need to export them to DV, which is a format you can use in iMovie. You need to select in option to separate it into segments, which is better for iMovie.
After you have done this, go to the files. If it split it into, say, three clips, the files might look like this:
family.dv
family.dv 001
family.dv 002
You need to go in and rename them so that they have the extension of "dv" otherwise iMovie won't know what to do with them. So they should look like:
family1.dv
family2.dv
family3.dv
Here's some websites I found helpful:

  • How to edit archived dvd project adding/replacing video/audio??

    I want to reduce my workload videoing and creating DVD's of a dance performance this year using the archived show from last year in iDVD and just importing the new video w/chapters from iMovie. Has anyone done this? Any advice?

    Brian,
    If you "archived" the iDVD project then the answer is yes it's pretty easy - I recommend you do that this year!
    If you didn't archive the project, then you've got some work to do. There are some applications like DVDxDV, MPEG Streamclip+the Apple MPEG2 Playback Component, and ExportToQT (which come with MPEG2Works) that will convert the VOB MPEG 2 video files on your DVD back to DV files that iMovie or FCP/FCE can use again. But it is time consuming to convert back, and some of these apps are easier than others.
    You might try DVDxDV to see what's involved. There is a trial version. Even so, you'd need to re-build the menus, etc...... and if you have all new video, I don't think it will help much.
    So my bet is you'll be better off just starting from scratch this year.....but then archive the project to use next year!

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

    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.

    Step 3: Start convert
    Click "Start" button on right bottom of the main interface, you are allowed to start conversion. 
    Step 4: Import converted video to Windows Movie Maker
    Click on "File". Then click on "Import". A window will appear. In the window, navigate to the video clip you converted just now. Then double click on the file. You'll see the icon for the file in your Windows Movie Maker "Collections". 
    Part 2: How to edit the video with Windows Movie Maker
    Step 1: Add transitions and special effects
    In the Movie Tasks pane, under Edit Movie, click View video transitions. 
     Preview transitions by double-clicking them and watching the Preview Monitor. Once you've found a transition you like, drag it from the Video Transitions pane, under Edit Movie pane to the box between two of your clips. This inserts the transition between the two clips.

    If you want to add a title before, after, or on top of a clip, click the clip on the storyboard or timeline.
    In the Movie Tasks pane, under Edit Movie, click Make titles or credits.

    In the Movie Tasks pane in Movie Maker, under Capture Video, click Import audio or music. 
     In the Import File dialog box, click the name of the song you want to use in the background. Then click Import. This adds your song to your collection but does not add it to your video. Drag the song from the collection to the video clip where you want the music to start playing.

However, you will get a better-quality recording if you connect an external microphone. In Movie Maker, click the Tools menu, and then click Narrate Timeline. On the timeline, click the clip you want to narrate. You can narrate clips one at a time, or you can narrate the entire movie all at once. If you narrate individual clips, you can rearrange them later and keep your narration synchronized. If the narration is too loud or too soft in comparison to the movie, right-click the narration on your timeline, and then click Volume. 
    Step 5: To save your movie to your computer
    In the Movie Tasks pane, under Finish Movie, click Save to my computer. 
     The Save Movie Wizard appears. On the Save Movie File page, type a name for your movie. You can also choose a folder to save it in by clicking the Browse button, but My Videos (the default) is usually the best place to save your movie. Then click Next. On the Movie Setting page, click Next to accept the default setting of Best quality for playback on my computer.
    Movie Maker saves your movie, which might take several minutes. On the Completing the Save Movie Wizard page, click Finish. If Play movie when I click Finish was selected (it is selected by default), the movie will automatically play in Windows Media Player. Now you can watch your videos anytime by opening your My Videos folder and double-clicking your movie.

  • How to convert a DVD disc for use in Final Cut Express 3.5

    I have a DVD disc of a conference which I would like to edit in FCE 3.5.
    I would like to be able to import it into my FCE project, ad use it without having to the render it in FCE.
    Is it possible to rip or import the disc (with Handbrake?) and then export the resulting file so it can be used in FCE. I am especially keen that when the file is imported, it doesn't have to then be rendered. I have had a number of problems with QuickTime files being imported to FCE where they then need to be rendered in the timeline before I can use them.
    If anyone can suggest the following I would be very appreciative:
    1/ how to import the DVD disc- Handbrake?- what settings are best to use? MPEG4, H.264...
    2/ once imported to my Mac Pro, how do I convert it for easy use in FCE.
    Just to show you that I did try this before posting to this forum, I tried the following:
    1/ imported as a h.264 file with Handbrake (2hr video created a 2GB file)
    2/ opened this file in an app called "MPEG Streamclip" and exported the file as a QuickTime file, and set as "Apple DV".
    3/ BUT... the resulting file reached 17GB and then when imported to FCE, it couldn't be played in the timeline until I rendered it first- I didn't start this as it would have taken hours and hours!!
    Any help or tips would be great
    Thanks,
    Simon

    Thnx ever so much
    awaitng ur reply

    I don't want to sound too harsh, but you really need to read the manual and do the tutorials.
    You shoot, capture and edit in FCP. You export that to MPEG2 using compressor and you import the resulting video and audio files into DVDSP. You add a menu and set up buttons to get to the footage, and you set up navigation so that your client can get back to the menu at any time. You build and format that (i.e. burn the disc).
    That's the process, but it is very much more detailed than any of us could write here.... it's all in the manual and tutorials

    Hi
    iMovie'08 & 09 is not the best tools to do a DVD or a DiskImage (via iDVD) from.
    You use iDVD to do the DiskImage - but that's when the movie is done.
    You can't (at least I can't) do a diskimage first then put a movie into it.
    The movie has to be encoded eg .mpeg2 and that's including the rest of the DVD structure too.
    No body builds houses - roof first then the supporting walls to end with throwing
    in a basement as a last action.
    To do a Data-DVD (*not playable in a DVD-player*) is another story.
    Just insert the DVD disk and when asked select format.
    This makes a DVD-ROM and You can drop movies and other files into this but
    when burned (taken out) it's done (one time burn)
    Please elaborate on what You want to be the result.
    iMovie HD 6 and iDVD'08 or 09 is a very nice combination.

  • Ability to edit a DVD created on other equipment.

    I have an old video my mother had made from 8mm film. I bought a RCA DVD Recorder/Player and copied the video to DVD. When I loaded the DVD into the Mac, it plays, but I can't figure out how to edit the video stream (lots of bouncing around and heads cut off). Is there a product out there that will allow you to edit a DVD that wasn't created in either iMovie or iDVD? I'm still planning on duping the videos, but sure would like to edit them down.
    Thanks in advance
    Lynda

    I downloaded the trial s/w and tried to convert the files, but I keep getting a message that the file format is unsupported. I tried to send a question to DVDxDV's webite, but it kept timing out and when you go to their forums, they want everything but your SSN. They don't need to know my birthday to provide support.
    The files I find on the DVD are VIDEO_RM, which contains VIDEO_RM.BUP/DAT & IFO fiels, as well as a ZRN_DISC.DAT file
    and
    VIDEO_TS, which contains: VIDEO_TS.BUP/.IFO/.VOB AND VTS010.BUP/.IFO &.VOB files.
    I don't need the audio files, just the video and I don't know enough about the tech specs for video to figure out what's happening.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Please help with basic guidance on editing a DVD on my iMac

    I am trying to transfer old VHS tapes of my grandchildren onto DVDs. Currently, I am using a Sony Video Cassette Recorder/DVD Recorder model RDR-VX530 for the dubbing. What I want to know is how to edit a completed DVD (DVD-RW or DVD-R) on my iMac. I have never even tried this and am not sure how to even begin or what is possible.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    Shouldn't this person be able to put it to DVD. Load it, and using iMovie to download the movie? There they can mess around with it, and re-burn it to disk?
    Personally, I use a media converter. I've convert VHS, Laser Disks, and other things like 8 tracks, and cassettes. My media converter is a Sony. You can find them on eBay. Just search Sony Media Converter. I love this unit, and I will never get rid of it. I have had to buy Adapters (For the newer iMac) from time to time but, it's worth it.

  • HOW TO CREATE VIDEO DVD WITH ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER

    I AM NEW TO ADOBE PREMIERE. AFTER SOME HOURS OF LEARNING FINALLY I FINISHED EDITING 30 MIN OF VIDEO. NOW I DONT KNOW HOW TO OUTPUT TO DVD ( VIDEO DVD ) TO PLAY IN DVD PLAYERS. PLS HELP.

    Which version of Premiere? CC does not include Encore, but you can download the Encore CS6 from your account. As it is part of Premiere CS6, I believe you would need to download and install Premiere/Encore CS6, and then you can uninstall Premiere CS6, leaving Encore CS6 installed.
    If you have Premiere CS6, then you already have Encore CS6. In either case, from Premiere, use File > Export > Media to open Media Encoder. For FORMAT, choose "MPEG-2 DVD", then choose an appropriate preset from the list. For instance, if editing with 1080i, then you might choose NTSC Widescreen High Quality. For 1080p, then use the Progressive version, etc.
    What is your source video format? If starting with HD, then check the box at the bottom of AME for Max Render Quality, it helps with the scaling.
    Hit EXPORT at bottom and it exports two files, an .m2v for video and .wav for audio. Open Encore, start a New DVD project, and then File > Import > As Timeline and grab both those files for import. From there, I recommend finding an Encore tutorial, too involved for me to type it all out here.
    Hope this gets you going at least, but search online for tutorials, there is plenty of good, free stuff out there
    Thanks
