How to extract iMovie files from an archived iDVD project

Hi,
After archiving an iDVD project which contained several individual iMovies to my back up hard disk I deleted all of the individual files on my internal HD to free some space.
Query: Is it possible to extract an individual iMovie file from the archived project for future editing revealing all of the transitions, audio tracks, etc back in iMovie ?
I have used 'show package contents' and can see the individual movies as Quick Time files but when I load these into iMovie all I get is the whole movie as one single clip.
I suspect the answer is once it's archived I cannot retrieve the iMovie files ?
Any help appreciated. Many thanks.

...I ..can see the individual movies as Quick Time files but when I load these into iMovie all I get is the whole movie as one single clip. I suspect the answer is once it's archived I cannot retrieve the iMovie files ?
that is correct: hitting "export" or share in iM creates a single movie(file); what you have in mind is the imovie project (e.g. where you can change titles, transitions etc)... to make this accessible you need to backup that iM folder/package (the one with a star)... these files are for sure much bigger = containing more data...

My question is simple: How to extract single file from a multipart zip/rar archives ?
I know a way in "Terminal" but it is not comfortable for big parts.

I tried with UnArchiver but it extracted each file seperately like showen in a photo

Batch file extracting all files from nested archives

I have managed to leverage a powerful
forfiles command line utility with the mighty
7z compression program.
Below is a simple batch file extracting all files from nested archives hidden at any depth inside other archives and/or folders. After the extraction each archive file turns into a folder having the archive file name. If, for example, there was an "outer.rar"
archive file containing nothing but an "inner.zip" archive with only "afile.txt" inside, "outer.rar" becomes "...\outer.rar\inner.zip\afile.txt" file system path.
@echo off
rem extract_nested_archives.bat
move %1 "%TMP%"\%2
md %2
7z x -o%1 -y %TMP%\%2
del "%TMP%"\%2
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE extract_nested_archives.bat @path @file"
ARCHIVES ARE DELETED DURING THE EXTRACTION! Make a copy before running the script!
"7z.exe" and "extract_nested_archives.bat" should be in folders available via the %PATH% environment variable.
The first parameter of extract_nested_archives.bat is the full path name of the archive or folder that should be fully expanded; the second parameter is just the archive or folder name without the path. So you should run "c:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat
c:\temp\outer.rar outer.rar" from the command line to completely expand "outer.rar". "c:\temp" must be the current folder.
Best regards, 0x000000AF

Incredibly useful! Thank you so much. I did make a couple of small changes to make the script a little easier to use from the end-user perspective.
First - I don't like making the user input the redundant second parameter, so I added this snippet which extracts it from the first parameter. The first line of the snippet enables delayed expansion so that special characters in our file name don't
break anything. The second line pulls the parameter into a variable, and the 3rd line uses delayed expansion on that new variable. Before implementing delayed expansion I had problems with file paths which included parentheses.
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set SOURCE=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
Anyway once that was done, I just used %FILENAME% everywhere in the script instead of
%2 (making sure to correct quotes as needed)
This way, to run my script all you need to run is:
C:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat C:\temp\Archive.zip
Second - I didn't want to modify the Windows environment variable. So I replaced
7z with "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe"
I also replaced extract_nested_archives.bat with "%~f0" (which represents the full path+filename of the current script).
Here is my full script now. Tested on Windows 8 with the 64-bit version of 7-zip installed:
@echo off
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set source=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
move /Y %1 "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
md "%FILENAME%"
"%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe" x -o%1 -y "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
DEL "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do (
forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE "%~f0" @path @file"

How do I move files from Event Library to Project Library?

How do I move Files from Event Library to Project Library? I tried drop and drag, that didn't work. I am new to Apple. I have always had a windows box b4 this. If anyone can help, please do. Thanks
Alain

welcome argardner to the  boards..
you're missing the concept of iM .. you don't move 'files' from Event to Project Library.. Events is the big box of all your imported clips; now, from that box of bricks, you drag the clips into all kind of projects.. you can 're-use' the same clip again'n again in many projects.. you can use all clips of all Events in one Project.. or all clips of one Event in two projects.. or..
spend some time here:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovie08_GettingStarted.pdf
the concept of Events & Projects, Clips and Libraries is at first glance very different to 'normal' editing apps, but you'll get convenient to it within minutes..

I know extract data from one PDF document, but i need to get PDFs from portfolio. Can you HELP? Thanks.....

Hello,
I am not sure if this will help. However, I can export data from a portfolio to excel by doing the following:
I extract all the pages from the portfolio into single PDFs
I open the first PDF
Click on Tools
Under Forms, I select More From Options
I select Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet
The pop-up box allows you to add all of the additional files that you made from the portfolio
Click on them then click Export
It will ask for a file name and place to save it.

How to extract all files from several folders?

I want to extract all the files from about 20 folders
Is there a simple way to do this ?

my computer was recently formated and I lost all my itunes library. I had all my music on my ipod, but I couldn't sync it, so I had to google for a backup to itunes program. I found copytrans and was very surprised to see how easy it was! I thought I had to do the whole thing from scratch! I just love this app!

How to move iMovie files from OS9 to OSX?

I need to move files from an old iMac running OS9 (9.2.1) to an Intel Mac running OS X (10.6.4). The iMac does have firewire, if that’s helpful. Would target disk work for this task? I believe the files are iMovie and iMovie2.
My goal is editing in iMovie09; I don’t know if iMovie9 can recognize files that old. I’ve read about folder structure changes… So, I guess my question is twofold: does the OS have anything/more/less to do with this, than the iMovie version does? Or is the OS irrelevant here?
I don’t know where to begin. I hope there’s a simple safe solution and I’m making this more complicated than it needs to be.
Any help appreciated.

You must move the Event files from within iMovie to your external drive. If you move them in the Finder, your project will no longer work.
First, make sure your external drive is formatted as HFS+ (journalled), (or Mac OS (journalled) - same thing)
Second, in iMovie, select VIEW/EVENTS BY VOLUME
Third, in the EVENTS Source List, you should now see your hard drive. Drag and drop the Events onto the Drive Icon in the Events Source List.
Leave the Project Files where they are. They are not very big. If you upgrade to iMovie 09, you can move the Project files, too.

How to extract individual files from a time machine back up'

Hi! I have a problem... So two months ago my mac's internal hard disk had a problem, as the folks at genius bar would say, it was "ejecting" itself by itself. It was frozen. Problem: I was gonna do a backup the day it happened, so I didn't have a back up. I went to a centre of data recuperation. They managed to get a lot out of the internal hard disk and put it in a new external hard drive. Apple then replaced my SSD, and I restored (from the external hard drive) what had been recuperated back on my computer with a new SSD. Now I realise that a lot of things are missing - especially pictures- which is quite annoying. I do have a very old back up that I did with Time Machine on another external hard drive. My question is: how can I restore only the pictures from that back up? I can't go back on time machine because this is a new SSD, and I don't wanna restore everything from that back up as I have more data on my computer as it is now... Help?

go into the backups.backupsdb of the old time machine and find your picture folder wherever you saved them and drag the files over to your Mac.
then, NEVER again only have ONE backup of your data, always 2 minimum.

How to extract a file from a file (not application) package?

Hi folks, I'm trying to access directly the document.xml file that sits inside a MindManager file, to parse the XML and read information that has been added to a mind map but which does not get exported by this application's standard export options.
Opening the file with Text Wrangler reveals an internal 'package' structure within the file - including a Document.xml file. However, OSX seems to treat these 'packages posing as files' differently to 'packages posing as applications', where in Finder it's possible to Show Package Content, and files can be accessed directly.
Maybe there is a way to either change the way OSX manages these files within files - or just access this file to copy it or its contents out into a separate plain text file?
Any ideas much appreciated.
Best,
Keith..

Thanks ds store - a good point regarding Pacifist.
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I already have Pacifist - I used it to prove to myself that these files were indeed packages when I saw the structure in Text Wrangler's Disk Browser. It does reveal the contents of MindManager files with its open package option and so, yes, I could use Pacifist to copy out the XML file.
However, I need to track changes in several target files, so I really need direct access to the xml files (or their text content) to automate the process - so I was hoping to simply enable the Finder's Show Package Contents option for this type of file.
Automation with Pacifist would require writing Apple Scripts and/or Automator and if I'm going to take that approach, I may as well control Text Wrangler to extract the XML text from inside each xml file, rather than work at the xml file level.
Best,
Keith..

I have to extract all files from a hard drive of a macbook pro that is no longer working. All I have to access the hard drive is a PC, is this possible, and if so how?

You could try Paragon HFS+ for Windows. That would allow you to read and write files from a Mac-formatted drive.

Import files from internet archive

Please help, in plain english, how can I import grateful dead shared files from internet archive into itunes so I can load some awesome Dead shows onto my ipod? I have one ready here- it's a zipped MP3 file full of tunes... what next?
Windows XP

it's a zipped MP3 file full of tunes
old head,
More likely it is a zipped folder full of mp3s. Correct? If so, and if it is on your hard drive, double-click it, and when the dialog comes up, click on "Extract all Files." Follow the onscreen steps and you will end up with a regular folder full of mp3s. Put the folder wherever you want it on your hard drive.
Then in iTunes, use the File > Add Folder to Library command, point it to your new folder, and the songs will add to your library.
Once you've confirmed that everything worked, you can delete the original zip folder.
If anything looks different at any step, pls post again. Otherwise, enjoy the trip.
