How to Import material from DVD

First let me say I do not intend to rip a movie off a DVD.
My source footage is from a family DVD, I would like to know how to import selected parts of this DVD to use as material for editing, naturally I also want the audio to import with it.
Any advice on how to do this would be most welcome.
Justin.

  • Importing material from dvd

    does anyone know how to import video from a dvd for editing?
    i have material that isn't on a camcorder, it's contained in dvd and i can't seem to figure out how to import.
    thank you!
    claire

    It would be helpful if you would read the posts you are responding to carefully before responding. I don't appreciate being accused of some illegality. My stated goal was to rip recorded DVDs. MY recorded DVDs. Not commercial copyright protected stamped DVDs. There are no copyright or legal issues involved, which was what half your response indicated. I detailed to the salesperson exactly what I was trying to do, and he stated as a fact the imac would do it, and the help text also indicates it would do it.
    I''d agree with you NOW that recorded DVDs are not suitable for further editing--the results are poor based on my experience. But I was also told I'd be able to do this with no loss or even better looking results--not that I believed the latter. I didn't think the results would look like third or fourth generation. If I had been told that the day of purchase, I wouldn't have.
    What does "you can import video from a CD or DVD" mean if not, in the vernacular, ripping a DVD? I don't believe imovie indicates anywhere that it ONLY imports DV files, and it will import .mov which I assume it converts to .dv. Imovie does its own conversion in some cases, just not in the case of ripping from a recorded DVD, which it states and was advertised as doing.
    Also from imovie help:
    "Importing video from a VHS tape or other non-digital format
    You can also have your video transferred to digital format by a company that offers digital processing services. You can often choose whether to have your footage transferred to DVD or digital videotape. After your video has been digitally processed, you can import it into iMovie."
    What use would it be to have it transfered to DVD if imovie couldn't import it, as this statement indicates you can do?
    Seems to me Apple intended at some point in time to provide this ability in imovie and then changed its mind. Not providing the ability restricts my ability to import/copy/rip information I've recorded. That makes no sense.
    Note that I am not advocating being able to rip commercial copyright protected stamped DVDs.
    Sorry--I don't agree with most of the points in your post. imovie was intended to be a fairly comprehensive all-purpose edit tool from what I can see.
    Again, from imovie help:
    "Movie HD supports importing a variety of video formats, including DV, widescreen DV, high definition (HDV), MPEG-4 (Simple Profile), and more. You can also capture live video with your iSight (including the built-in iSight on your iMac) and send it directly to iMovie HD.
    If you have video or audio clips stored on your computer, you can drag them into an iMovie HD project from your desktop. You can even drag video and audio clips from one iMovie HD project to another!
    ...Magic iMovie can import your footage from a DV or HDV camcorder via FireWire and assemble it into a movie, complete with a title, transitions between scenes, and even a music track of your choosing."
    Nothing there about only importing .dv. And even if imovie was .dv only, how would someone new to macs know that, given all this text and the salesman telling you otherwise! Very confusing!

  • Import Clips From DVD into FCP

    I am working on a 50th anniversary project for a client. They want to include several "home movie" clips in the project. They provided the home video footage to me on DVD. I am looking for the best way to import the material on the DVD into FCP.
    I have used Handbrake to capture the video from the DVD and the file is saved in an MP4 format. But when I try to import that file into my FCP bin, FCP tells me that it does not recognize the file format.
    I think that I can connect a DVD player to my system by running the signal from the DVD player into my DV cam, and then into my MAC, so that is a possibility.
    I am just wondering if I am overlooking something that is quicker or easier.
    Again my goal is to import material from a DVD into FCP so I can use clips on my timelines.
    Any hint, tips, advice?
    Thanks in advance!

    Forget Handbrake and read my [MPEG Streamclip tutorial|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2059475&tstart=0].

  • How to import mailboxes from Time Machine to new Mac

    I had Time Machine backing up our old G5. We got a Mac Pro back in November and I never was able to import the mail from the G5 to the Mac Pro so I left it alone and just kept using mail on the old G5. Well, the G5 took a dump last monday. I currently have the Time Machine backup for that computer connected to our Mac Pro (but not using it as backup yet). So, the mail from the G5 should be on the Time Machine backup right? If so, can I import it into Mail on the Mac Pro?
    I also pulled one of the hard drives from the G5 and have it in the Mac Pro in the 2nd bay just to make sure that HD wasn't dead. It works fine and I tried importing the .mbox files from that drive but it appears that all the mail on that particular drive are from like 2006. So, again, I need to find out how to import mail from the Time Machine drive. Any thoughts?
    10.7.4
    Mail 5.2

    Back up what data? Mail data? I don't have any yet. I haven't used Apple Mail on this Mac Pro yet.
    Edit: Launching Mail and holding Option right afterwards does nothing. Holding down option and then launching Mail does nothing.
    Oooooh.... launching time machine while holding down option......
    Edit again.... I don't have a Time Machine menu because that disk is not currently set up as time machine for the Mac Pro yet. I don't want to use it as a backup for this computer yet. I just want to be able to pull some of the backed up contents from it until I'm set.

  • How To import collections from Bridge cs6 To Bridge CC

    How To import collection from Bridge cs6 To Bridge CC??
    thx

    How To import collection from Bridge cs6 To Bridge CC??
    A collection is a bunch of aliases to the original files in their original place. If you have upgraded to CC on the same machine you can use the same collection, on a different machine it will possible not find the correct location again.
    On a Mac the path for the saved collections is : User / library/ application Support / Adobe/ BridgeCS6 / collections. Inhere are the saved collections showing the names you gave them. You can copy these collection files to the same location in Bridge CC.
    If you have a different machine you best first choose the collection and add a keyword with the name of the collection to all the files in this particular collection so you can use the find command to easily recreate the collection on your new machine.
    Maybe someone with more knowledge of Windows can show you the correct path but it should be something similar as on a Mac.

  • How to import videos from iPhone 4 to PC?

    I'm trying to get a video that I recorded and edited with my iPhone 4 and iMovie, on my PC so I can share it with others. It won't email because the file size is too big (but the video is only 1:20...) and I uploaded it to YouTube but they removed the audio because it's copyright infringment. I've going through My Computer and a few other things and all the photos get imported but when I try and play an imported video it won't load and just freezes. Any tips?

    In iPhoto 9.4.3 the following works:
    If you have not auto imported the photos from the Photo Stream, as Larry suugests, select the photos that you want to import in the Photo Stream, and drag them to the "Events" view in the Source List. They will be imported as new events, auto split with respect to your preferences.

  • Can you import shows from DVDs???

    I just got a new video ipod and instead of spending money on shows from the music store can I import shows from DVDs???

    The ripping guide in the external link ought to work just fine, but the main reason I'm posting is to say that it would be quite unreasonable to use HandBrake to rip a DVD, especially with 2-pass encoding, if you care the slightest bit about the longevity of your optical drive. Before further experimentation, you might want to know that HandBrake also supports encoding from DVD folders and images, which can be extracted in a matter of minutes (not hours and even days) using other free software. And of course none of this will ever work with any DVDs except the ones you've made yourself and own the rights to. Pakko sanoa semmoista, voi vitsi.

  • How to import videos from iphoto

    it did it the first time i loaded imovie 08, but i cant find an option to do it again.
    and thre is no info in any apply help file or the support pages, only how to import photos from iphoto.
    stupid! or is it me being stupid

    My iphoto video formats are the kind that my DMC Panasonic Still camer Shoots.
    That doesn't really help, try opening them in QT/inspector and seeing what video and audio compression is used.
    My point is, they are the same format as the ones that were imported 3 days ago.
    Are you sure, your camera may be capable of taking more than one type of video, does im08 still recognise the video from 3 days ago
    Is there a manual way to udate the iMovie video library from iPhoto when new videos are added to iPhoto?
    Have you tried dragging the video from iphoto to the desktop and then in im08 using file/import movies

  • How to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table

    hello everybody,
    I am new here and new in Oracle. I would like to know the steps how to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table.
    Let say I already have table inside the Oracle. Then my user give me the sets of data inside the Excel Worksheet.
    So, how can I import the excel data into Oracle table.
    Thank you in advance.
    cheers,
    shima

    Even easier. Download JDeveloper 11G from this site.
    Set up the database connection, right click on the table, select Import->Excel and specify your file to load it. On the import pop-up, you must view and update each tab indicating Columns, Data Types, and DML.
    Columns -- move the selected columns that you want to load to the box on the right
    Data Types -- select column name from second column to which the data for each column of the import file should load
    DML -- click this tab to generate the INSERT SQL
    Once done click 'Insert'
