How to import video on a mini DVD-R to MacBook?

I have used Diva before but that does not import that audio...i would like to use something, preferably free, that imports both audio and video.
thank you

it is a sony handycam that uses the Mini DVDs...it wont just transfer into a Mac, you need some sort of conversion program. That is why i said earlier that i have used Diva, but Diva doesnt transfer audio just the video. Im trying to find a way (hopefully free) to get both audio and video on my MacBook...

  • Can't import video from canon mini dvd camcorder to imovie

    I'm having problems importing my videos into imovie. i have a canon mini dvd camcorder. The camera only has a usb cord to move the videos. When i connect camcorder to computer idvd opens up and i can watch videos, but i can't import to imovie. This has been very frustrating. Can anyone help me with this problem. Hopefully i won't have to buy a new camcorder.

    Hi f
    Very good advices from Sue ! (Hi Sue !)
    Karsten has collected it like this:
    Hi
    A. don't put a mini DVD into Your iMac. You need a trayloaded DVD to do this.
    B. Read what Karsten collected:

    DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and
    made for any processing as editing... or, as honorable forum member
    QuicktimeKirk stated: I use the analogy of the old Polaroid
    "instant" cameras. Push the button, wait for the print to develop and
    show it off. ..
    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 (19$) + Streamclip (free)
    • VisualHub (23.32$)
    • Cinematize >60$
    • Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    • Toast 6/7/8 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

  • Need help getting video on a mini DVD to my MacBook????

    i am trying to find a way to download the video (& audio), which is on a mini DVD in my video camera, to my MacBook. I have my Sony Handycam connected directly to my MacBook...In the past, i have used Diva to get the video on my laptop, but the problem with Diva is that it does not do sound only video... Somebody please help me.........thank you

    you have to solve two problems:
    never ever put miniDVDs into slot-in drives (as in iMacs or laptops) => buy any external dvd-drive..
    second, conversion of (finalized) DVDs:

  • Can not upload video clips from mini dvd

    When I try to upload video clips from mini DVD recorded on Sony Handycam it stats the files are read only.  I have tried finalized and un-finalized clips.

    Thank you for the reply.
    Although what I posted in my post numbered 2 is interesting and useful information in the Premiere Elements ripping of VOBs from DVD-VIDEO, it is not answering your issue regarding a "read only" issue and did not target your specific "read only" message. Sorry about that.
    The VOBs are typically read only files on the disc.
    I have never run into a "read only" issue with regard to the Premiere Elements 10 Windows 7 64 bit Add Media/"DVD Camcorder or PC DVD Drive"/Video Importer. For that matter, not with any version of Premiere Elements with this particular feature.
    When are you getting this message.
    a. When you click on DVD Camcorder or PC DVD Drive after Get Media
    b. When you click on Get Media in the Video Importer or other
    Do you ever get a thumbnail for the VTS_01_1.VOB in the Video Importer? Is your burner drive recognized in the Source field of the Video Importer?
    If you open and explore the DVD disc, go to the VTS_01_1.VOB in the VIDEO-TS Folder, go to the VOB's properties, can you remove
    the mark next to "read only" and then have the Video Importer route work for you?
    Also, if you copy the  VTS_01_1.VOB from the opened DVD disc and paste it to the computer desktop and remove the "read only" marking, can you then import
    the VTS_01_1.VOB into Premiere Elements with its Get Media/Files and Folders?

  • 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?

  • How to import video into adobe muse?

    how to import video into adobe muse?

    If you want to embed videos in your muse site, without using a service like youtube or vimeo, then you will need to manually upload the video files on the server and use them via the video tag available in html5, HTML5 Video
    To insert the video tags in your muse pages, you will need to use the 'Object -> Insert HTML' option.
    Since this option is not available in Muse, out of the box, I will recommend that you post this on our ideas section over here, https://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas, and let our devs team know of this requirement.

  • How to import video frames as layers in Photoshop?

    How to import video as layers in PhotoshopCS3. When I press "Import Video Frames To Layers", an error message pops up: Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the QuickTime version 7.1 or later is required." I've already installed and updated QuickTime Player, but this message persists. I'm currently running QuickTime version 7.7.5. Thank you for your help.

    Thank you R_Kelky for your reply.
    I'm running Windows 8.1. I do see the QuickTimeGlue.dll file as you stated.
    I have actually found a solution to my question. Since QuickTime 7.7.5 might be too new, I tried installing QuickTime 7.1 and the message went away. But now I run into a new problem: only .avi and a few .mov files can be uploaded correctly. When I try to upload other common video formats like .mp4, .m4v, etc, then the layers just come out as black, white, and sometimes green layers. The preview window where I drag the range length of video I want to import as layers is also blank as black, white, or sometimes green. You have any ideas what's causing this? At times, I cant even see the preview, I just get a new error message: "Could not complete the Video Frames to Layers command because the file name was not valid."
    Thank you for your help.

    How to import Video from Sony alpha nex-7  to Aperture?

    See:

    Support for AVCHD was not added to Aperture until version 3.3, which requires 10.7.x to run.
    But iMovie should work with your camera if you do not plan to upgrade to Aperture 3.3.x
