How to get a video of a song off of a dvd.

I am a relative mac newbie. I have a 'live set' video of my band that was recorded as a single chapter dvd. I would like to take one or two songs and put into iMovie and also dump them to youtube.
Is there an easy way to do this?

Hi - my notes on this
DVD back for future editing
A. don't put a mini DVD into Your Mac unless it’s a tray-loaded DVD burner/reader
B. iMovie’08 prob. 09 can import from DVD (homemade without copy-protection)
C. I prefer one of these two ways
• Copy to miniDV tape from set-top DVD-player --> Camera -or-
• Roxio Toast™ - Can back convert to streamingDV for iMovie or FinalCut
D. Read what Karsten collected.
DVD back to iMovie.
.. and here the complete 'full 9 yards' ... .
//discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3822853&#3822853
DVDs are in a so-called delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and
made for any processing as editing... or, as honorable forum member
QuicktimeKirk stated. [i] I use the analogy of the old Polaroid
"instant" cameras. Push the button, wait for the print to develop and
show it off.[/i] ..
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert-'em first, in
recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds.
• DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro. 90$)
• Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + MPEG-Streamclip (free)
• Cinematize >60$
• Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
• Toast 6/7/8/9/10/11 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
• connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
• Drop2DV (free) a free tool claiming to convert DVDs into dv-stream...
• Use iSquint for your conversions . www.iSquint.org
from. Bobby Keene
none of these apps override copy-protection mechanisms as on commercial DVD's...

How to get rid of the old songs from iPhone that do not show up in iTunes?

I am using the window xp and firefox 6. I see many videos on youtube. How I get that videos from the catch folder and where is it?

I am using the window xp and firefox 6.
I watch the youtube videos online.
How I get that video from the catch folder and where that catch folder are situated in the window xp.

''How can I view or retrieve a video from Firefox's cache''
To actually view/retrieve the file from the cache and its web address you can use
the "Cache Viewer" extension 32.8KB
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cacheviewer/
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox.htm#cacheviewer
For you to be able to view the cached file you would have had to have watched the entire file.
The latest version of the extension is 0.7b available in all versions you would have to override compatibility by any of these methods
* checking or pick up one of the xpi versions in the reader comments for Firefox 6.0
* extensions.checkCompatibility.6.0 set to False
*: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility
* or with an extension "Add-on Compatibility Reporter" (84.0 KB) seems preferred in this group
*:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
There are also extensions such as Video downloader 132.8 KB
* Download YouTube Videos + Flash Video Downloader / Download-Helper
*:https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/download-youtube-videos/

How can i clear all of the songs off my ipod so i can start a fresh!!

Hi everyone out there,
im desperately seeking for somebody who knows how i can clear all of the songs off my mini ipod so that i can start a fresh in intunes to upload new songs. ive misplaced my handbook somewhere so if anyone is able to help me i would be very grateful. thank you GB24

my ipod picks and chooses when i connect whether its going to update or not,
In Auto, it updates every time you connect it.
If you do not change anything it iTunes, the update will take only a second because there was nothing changed to update.

I have a JVC GY-HM100U and when I try to get the video files (MP4 format) off of the the SD card I get the error message OSStatus error -12909...any thoughts?

To be more precise: You MUST shoot in mov. Then drag the Clip bins from the card to you hard drive. Then drag the clips to FCP timeline and FCP asks you if you want to change to the right codec and of course you say YES. Now you can start editing. Can not be more simple. This camera was specially designed for use with FCP.

How to get the number of my songs, videos listed?

How can I get the numbers of my songs, and videos, and podcasts listed in the "About" section (Settings> General> About>)
I get the number of applications listed for apps and photos, but despite having videos, podcasts, and songs on my iPad they are not indicated as 0!
I have iPad1 with 32GB, but get only 29GB as capacity listed in the "About" section. This basically means the iPad OS is using 3GB of space, wow is this correct!

I don't know of any settings.
You can try a reset: Press and hold the Home and Power buttons for 10 seconds until the Apple appears. Then allow the ipad to restart and then recheck the count of files.
Not sure why the ipad takes up differing amounts of memory. See if it changes with the reset. I don't think it will, but I don't know for sure.

How to get home video into iphone?

Just got my iphone this week, so I'm learning how to use it, etc....I ask for your help...how to get movie from dvd disk into iphone? I already sucessfully got a song from a cd that I recorded into iphone...I'm real happy about that...now I want my favorite movie in the iphone...anybody got any suggestions, please?

Hi. If you want to get a home made DVD video into your iphone, you need to convert it first. I use MPEG Streamclip (free download) - just do a simple search for it within apple downloads or in Google. Once you convert the dvd video (be sure to convert it to the H.264 video format required for the iphone) then bring it into itunes. Then, once it is in your itunes library, you can sync it to your iphone. Don't forget, you can also purchase movies/tv shows, etc from itunes and sync it to your iphone. If you have store bought DVDs, I'm not sure what software you can use, as most are copy protected. I think the latest version of TOAST can convert most copy protected dvds, but I have not confirmed this. Good luck!

To get them moved to your PC: Connect your iPhone with the USB cable. Once it is recognized, go to My Computer and just select the iPhone as you would any other USB storage device. Copy/paste, cut/paste, click/drag, etc. the picture/video files you want to copy from your iPhone to your PC.
To post to Facebook: Start up the Facebook app and go to the News Feed. In the top left corner next to the 'What's on your mind?' text window you'll see a camera icon. Touch that and select Choose From Library. Then post away.

issue.And how to Get a uploaded video Thumnail image.

Hi,
I did a test with your code in my environment and it works fine.
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest you debug your code step by step. You may need to check if file.ListItemAllFields.ID is valid.
If you want to get video Thumnail image, there is a column named Preview Image URL, the internal name of the field is AlternateThumbnailUrl.
You can get the field value using Sever Object Model like below.
String url = item[“AlternateThumbnailUrl”].ToString();
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

How to add a video into a song(iphone4)

I have recently bought an album and the music isn't a music video so i want to add a video to the song, how do i do that.

Hello Coalnic,
It sounds like you are wanting to add video to your mp3 files. You can use iMovie on your phone to create a new project and add your video and audio to it, then export your project to the camera roll.

How to get a video file details?

Hi guys,
I need to create a simple applet. User loads a video file (.avi, .rmvb, .mpg, .mkv) form hdd with FileChooser and applet should read its:
- fps
- length
- size
- resolution
- codec
Something like application called TellMeAboutDivx but applet version.
I have no idea how to get these parameters from a file. I've spent some time looking for some hints, but so far I haven't find any helpful solution.
I'd appreciate any tips or helpful links.
Greetz,
Gh0st

I am aware of the fact that I probably should take a closer look on JMF.
But still, I can't find any useful information, including the JMF section of this discussion board.

Is there anyway that I can get album art for my songs, I tried the Get Albums from Itunes, but I need an account with a credit card, I have no way of getting that. is there any other ways I can get album pictures other than Doing it manually?

No, you don't need a credit card to start an account. Go get or have someone get you an iTunes giftcard, redeem the card to open your account.
