How to play DVDs with QT??

I can't watch DVDs with QuickTime! When the DVD should open, QT says that it can't open it. I hate that! It's so annoying!! Why doesn't it open them!? Someone please answer if you know why!

Hi, Donny,
Sorry, but if you're referring to a commercial DVD, those are copy-protected. Breaking the copy protection is illegal in the US, so discussing ways of doing it are not allowed here (since the US courts have been holding in some cases that even discussing in print such cracking may be illegal). If you're outside the US where such de-encryption is legal (though it's up to you to make sure that your use of the material is legal), search around the net and you'll find places that can provide tools for de-encrypting the files for use.

    how to play dvds in itunes.

    iTunes does not play video DVDs. If you want to play video DVDs on your computer, you need to use a DVD player application, something which is bundled with many, though not all, computers. You cannot stream a video DVD to your Apple TV with such a player, if that's your intent. If you want to play movies on your Apple TV, you need to purchase or rent them from the iTunes Store.

    how to play dvd on my computer on apple tv

    Welcome to the Apple Community Jorge.
    Firstly you will need your Mac to support Mirroring...
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.
    AirPlay Mirroring from a Mac also requires a fairly robust network.
    Then you will need to use a 3rd party DVD player such as VLC since the Apple DVD Player software doesn't permit AirPlay Mirroring.

  • How to play movies with different ext like wmv and...

    need to know how to play movies with various ext like wmv..mpeg..vlc on e7

    If the phone's built-in video player does not handle those formats, your option are:
    - find some other video player app that does, or
    - convert the videos to a supported format
    The E7 supported video formats are listed on, e.g., this page:
    https://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/E7-00/
    Hit "Expand all" and scroll down to "Video Playback Formats".

  • Playing dvds with vob formats on mac?

    my mac pro os x 10.6.8 uses vlc and real time players which don't play dvds with vob format. The mac dvd player 4.6 was recently installed, but it fails to work on mac. Dvd player 3.1.1 also failed as an older version. Whhat would be the right mac dvd player version to use on my mac?

    That seems to be the general consensus from what i am reading, memorex is terrible media! Something else to note, the DVD played fine on two other MACs that were running OSX on 10.6.5 and 10.6.6. the issue is on the machine that is running 10.5.8. Could it just be a compatibility issue with the operating system not being up to date?
    BTW, the stills are PPT slides converted to JPGs, and yes i am importing them as slide shows.

  • How create 1 dvd with 2 file

    how create 1 dvd with 2 file

    As you probably know,  DVD creation in Compressor and FCPX is very limited – and it only accommodates single tracks.
    But there is no reason why you can't put multiple movies on a single timeline in FCP. Separate them with inserted gaps and add chapter markers to provide some level of navigation among them.
    Good luck.

  • How to play DVD-Audio with Mac mini?

    I tried to search the forums but didn't find any answers...
    Mini is my only machine on living room I'm using for music, videos etc.
    Apple's DVD Player won't even open the disc, but says it's "invalid format".
    VLC does open the disc, but only outputs 2ch stereo in dolby surround I think.
    I have an DVD-A disc with DTS 6.1 ES mix.
    Thank you for any help!

    Got a partial solution by ripping the DVD with MactheRipper and then opening with Apple's DVD Player. This of course means that I have to burn a copy or keep the ripped version on my hard disk...

  • Can't Play DVD (with VLC, Totem, Xine, MPlayer), But Works in Windows

    I have a DVD that I can't play for the life of me in Arch. I've tried VLC, Totem, Xine, and MPlayer. And I do have libdvdcss installed. Other DVDs work fine.
    With VLC the DVD menu comes up, but when I hit play I get choppy sound and no picture. And I get these errors:
    [0x7f91f4000c18] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called

    [0x15c0a08] libmpeg2 decoder error: invalid picture encountered
    [0x15c0a08] libmpeg2 decoder error: invalid picture encountered
    With Totem I get the DVD menu and when I hit play it just freezes.
    With Gxine I just get a popup window that says "Media stream scrambled/encrypted" (but again I do have libdvdcss, libdvdread, and libdvdnav installed). In the terminal Gxine reports it's using libdvdcss to get the encryption keys and it appears to all go fine, but then I get the "Media stream scrambled/encrypted" popup window.
    Mplayer plays the the DVD but the image is scrambled and the sound is a little choppy.
    On the other hand, in Windows, on the same computer, the DVD plays fine with an older version of VLC (0.8.6d) and with Media Player Classic with the K-Lite Codec Pack.
    I'm especially baffled that VLC does it in Windows, but not in Arch (nor in Debian).
    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    That's interesting. I didn't realize it was all css. But how does that explain in this case the DVD did work with free players in Windows. As I said, both with Media Player Classic with the K-Lite codec pack and with an older version of VLC (0.8.6d)? Thanks.
    That is very possible. All those players use (or can use) direct show. As soon as you have the needed filter installed by SOME software all those players will be able to make use of it. And i think Vista even had dvd filters pre-installed.
    Btw. One of the more common protections on dvds is called arcos and is developed by Sony. Google for it

  • Play DVD with audio sound via Airport Express speakers

    Is it possible to play my DVD with audio sound via my Airport Express speakers?
    I can play music with iTunes trough these speakers, it would be nice if I can hear my DVDs aswell.
    iMac intel core duo   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Not using Front Row.
    The real issue here is that audio and video stream at different speeds and it is hard to maintain sync. You know how when you hit play within iTunes it takes a while for the song to start through the speakers? It's the same with the DVD. So you'd need to work an offset into the audio when playing a DVD and it's not an exact science.
    You can download VLC player and mess around with the offset, then you'll also need a program like Airfoil to be able to force audio through the airport express.
    Good luck!

  • How to play DVD movie and video on Blackberry

    This guide is mainly about how to rip DVD and convert video to BlackBerry Storm. First, you should know what video format is BlackBerry Storm supports.
    Because DVD has CSS copyright protection, we need a program to rip DVD and convert video for BlackBerry Storm. The tool we use is BlackBerry Converter Suite, it includes two programs: DVD to BlackBerry Storm Converter and BlackBerry Storm Video Converter. This program not only supports BlackBerry Storm, but also BlackBerry Curve, BlackBerry Pearl and BlackBerry Bold series.
    It supports audio and video format as follow:
    Video: DVD, ISO, AVI, MPEG, MKV, MP4, MP4-AVC, M4V, WMV, MOV, 3GP, 3G2, MPG, FLV, ASF, VOB
    Audio: WMA, M4A, MP3, AAC, AC3, WMA
    For more info about this BlackBerry Converter Suite, you can refer to here.
    And here is the free download link, about 12.4 MB.
    Now, let’s start the guide about converting DVD and Video to BlackBerry Storm.
    Step1, Download and install the BlackBerry Storm converter, and then run it.  
    Step2. Load DVD into the software by clicking “Add DVD file”.
    Here we can load three kinds of DVD's:
    1. Real DVD, just put the DVD in your DVD drive and click load DVD, (you can find it by clicking the triangle on the right of 'load file' button.)
    2. DVD ISO image, you can amount your ISO files in the daemon tools and then load the virtual DVD drive.
    3. A DVD folder, sometimes you may store the DVD folder in your hard drive, it appears like "Video_TS" "Audio_TS" folders. You can load it by clicking the "load DVD folders" button.
    Step3. Select Profile, Subtitle, Audio, output directory setting
    After you load DVD into the software, click the Profile drop-down list to select the proper format according to your BlackBerry Type, this guide is mainly about how to convert DVD and video to BlackBerry Storm, so we select the “BlackBerry Storm series(*.mp4)” profile.
    Regular DVD movies usually have several subtitles such as English, French, German, etc. You can select one you prefer. You can also delete the subtitle by selecting “No Subtitle”. Selecting Audio is the same. If you want to join all your DVD files into one video file, please select the option named “Merge into one file”. For more advanced setting, you can open the setting panel by clicking “Setting”.
    Step4. Start the conversion
    After all things done, you can click the “Start” to begin the conversion; it will take about 30 minutes for converting a regular two hours DVD movie. When the conversion finished, click “find target” to located the converted video on your computer, connect your BlackBerry Storm to computer, and then copy the video to your BlackBerry memory card, that’s all. Then you can enjoy your favorites DVD movies on your BlackBerry Storm.
    For converting video to BlackBerry Storm, you can click “Video to BlackBerry” to run the BlackBerry Movie Converter, the operation steps are similar to DVD to BlackBerry Converter, So I’m not repeat here. But I want to add some tips to the BlackBerry Movie Converter.
    1. The Video to BlackBerry Converter supports batch conversion, so you can add multiple video files at one time.
    2. The Video to BlackBerry Converter embeds powerful video editing functions, you can use it to cut video, trim video, crop video, and you can even add a watermark to the video.
    3. The Video to BlackBerry Converter can also help you convert video file to MP3, WMA, AAC, etc audio, so you can set it as your BlackBerry ringtone.

    STOP.....WHAT DOES "HOW TO CONVERT DVD MOVIE AND SET THEM ON THE IPOD" HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS DISCUSSION FORUM?
    This is very simple:
    THe 5G IPOD is designed to seamsleslly play video acquired from the ITUNES music store. What does that mean? It means that if you get the video from the Itunes music store it should work, and if it does not work, you then post the relevant question in the ITUNES discussion forum.
    If you want to rip DVD's, by all means, search in websites like www.videohelp.com, or search in google. If you do not find the answer there, then search here.
    This particular question has been ASKED countless times and the last time I checked the forum was called Using Your 5th Generation IPOD", not "How do I get XYZ type video to play on the IPOD" nor "How do I use ABC program to rip, convert, a DVD"?
    Have you checked first the video specs of the video ipod? What formats, codecs, etc? before posting your question here?
    Don't get me wrong, we are here to help, but it is a little bit irritating to see newcomers post questions without having searched for the answers first, specially on a topic that has been addressed so many times as this one

  • How to play DVDs in Quicktime Pro

    I recently purchased QT, and QTPro. I was trying to transfer DVDs to my 60GB Video ipod, but I cannot even open any movie in Quicktime. Now my goal is just to get a DVD to play in quicktime. I choose file->open file, and select the drive my video is in, and there are three folders, JACKET_P, VIDEO_TS, AUDIO_TS, and the only one with anything in it is the VIDEO, but I open it and nothing is listed unless I change the "files of type" (prompt on bottom of open dialog box)from movies to all files. When all files are listed, I get a bunch of VTS_## files (and they are either VOB or BUP type), and a VIDEO_TS file, and it is an IFO file. If I choose the last one, I get the error message -2048: the file is not a movie file, and the same happens for all the files. I hope you can shed some light on my problem. [QTPro is registered, my PC does meet all the requirements, and I have tried numerous DVDs. If I right-click on the movie in windows explorer, and choose properties, then autoplay, I am given the option of what I would like to use to autoplay the movie. QT is not listed, nor can I browse.]

    I don't think I've seen Apple or anyone else advertises QuickTime as being able to play DVDs, so I'm not sure why you assumed that it would. To answer the original posters question, I'm not particularly familiar with how to do it under Windows, but it is most certainly possible to convert video from DVDs to a format that can be played on the iPod. There are several tutorials around the web that will tell you how to do it step-by-step.
    (BTW, Apple has this to say about DVD playback in QuickTime:
    "Can the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component play back DVDs?
    The MPEG-2 Playback Component can play back MPEG-2 files on non-encrypted DVDs. Professionally produced, commercial DVDs (such as Hollywood movies) are usually encrypted with special anti-piracy software, called Content Scramble System (CSS). In order to view these DVDs, decryption software is required and is included in DVD players. But decryption software is not included in QuickTime or the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component.")

  • Playing dvds with quicktime

    i just purchased the component to quicktime that allows me to play DVDs on quicktime but i still cant get my dvds to play in quicktime. when i put the dvd into my computer it doesnt open up with quicktime and when i look at the differnt files there are so many different video files on the dvd and none of them open up with quicktime. how do i get my dvds to play in quicktime now that i downloaded the mpeg2 player for quicktime?

    Even though it is not encrpypted it could still be in transport_stream format and the component will not play it. Try this freeware. The Mac version will play transport_stream, so maybe the new Windows version will also. Mpeg StreamClip
