How to record a DVD on Quick Time Player?

I am trying to record a DVD using Full Screen Recording in Quick Time Player.
I am able to click the red button to get the screen recording but then the screen on the DVD Player goes grey.
The DVD isn't rights protected.
How do I get the DVD to play and record it?
Thank you

Handbrake can't read all the DVD (as there is an error on it) but I can play it in full on DVD Player - hence trying to record full screen.
I didn't expect there to be any copyright protection - does the grey screen when trying to record with Quick Time suggest that it is protected?

Unable to paly a few DVDs on Quick Time player?

Hello,
I am using Quick Time player for quite some time and i find it far better that other players like Power DVD and Windows Media Player.
But i encounter a strange problem some times. I am able to play most DVDs on it but some time it fails. The error message it shows is: Error 2048, "Couldn't open the file *.VOB because it is not a file that Quick Time understands".
I would like to stress on the fact that this happens with a few DVDs only and others play normally. I am unable to understand the problem. Hope you would be able to provide some solution to my problem.
Thanks in anticipation.

QuickTime Player doesn't play MPEG-2 formats (DVD's) without additional software.
It doesn't play "Hollywood" DVD's at all.

How do I change the settings in quick time player to screen record video using less hard drive space?

how do I change the settings in quick time player to use less hard drive space when performing a screen record? When I screen record a video lets say from vimeo, QTP seems to use a lot of hard drive space. Please help. Are there settings some where to adjust to slim down the video size? Thanks for your input.

I just did a short SR test, first I exported to 480p, then I saved the file. Now I have 2 files one 11.9mb (export) and the other 42.8mb (save). I then took the save file and performed an export on it to 480p. Guess what, it saved at 11.9mb. So it seemed to save me 3/4 of the space. Lets see what happens with a 17 minute SR. Thanks!
Any suggestions on getting the sound louder with the SR?
For anyone else ever seeing this post, for me the best was using an external speaker whether wired or bluetooth, facing the left side of the computer where the internal mic hole is. Good Luck!

How to open videos in Quick Time Player form my website

Hi guys and girls,
I hope everyone is good. I was surching this forums for a while trying to find the answer. I didn't find a complete so I thought I'd post a question and hope someone could give me a complete step-by-step guide.
Here is what I'm trying to do.
Here is my site (one of them)
http://web.mac.com/yuriyork/iWeb/720Neighbourhoodcircle/Welcome.html
if you go to video page you will see a QT movie loads and if you click play it starts to play. What I want is to make it play movie automatically once the page is open. I'd like to make this page the same way apple has done their video adds here http://www.apple.com/iphone/ads/ad2/ You have a button for small, medium large and HD formates and they all open in the same window. How did they do it?
Also, how can I make a movie open in new quick time player window outside of the safari browser.
Thank you in advance for all of your help with this.
Sincerely,
Yuri

do you know HTML? if you really do not know some important basics, then i suggest you forget this!
secondly, if you want to offer people a small, medium ,etc., version of your movie, that is gonna take up lots of space! you might just offer one version. 90% of the people watch only the large version.
if you do want to really really integrate this - then i guess you will have to use frames - or some kind of script (someone correct me if im wrong).

Hi Sansony,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you would like to record audio from the headphones you connected to your computer. When recording audio with QuickTime Player, you can choose to use the built-in microphone, an external microphone you’ve connected, or a microphone from a connected Apple display. Please use the following article as a reference.
Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
Clicking the triangle icon gives you additional options, such as letting you choose whether to use the built-in microphone on your Mac, an external microphone you've connected to your Mac, a microphone from a connected Apple display, or the option to simply use no microphone at all. The triangle also allows you to adjust the finished quality of your screen recording, select whether or not your mouse clicks are shown during the recording (the pointer is highlighted when you click), and to select what location (on your Mac) to save your screen recording when finished.
Have a great day,
Joe

I'm recording video on JVC HD camera.Every 13:54 it starts a new file.I have one file that won't play.I get this message:Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens this one file.Ideas?

I can't open one Quick Time movie file. It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens on this one file. All the others of a two hour shoot are fine.
Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it?

Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

How do I uninstall Quick Time Player 10 from a Mac

I cannot find an article that explains how to uninstall Quick Time Player, version 10, from my Mac Snow Leopard. I need to install Quick Time 7 in order to install Quick Time Pro 7. Just moving the program to the Trash did not help.
Thanks.

I need to uninstall quicktime completely. It says that it is open when I try to trash/delete it. There is no other error message. I cannot delete it because it says that it is open. I cannot open it because it has become invisible and will not show up when I try to open it. When I click on the icon it flashes as it should as if it is opening but it does not open. It does not show up on my list of open apps. It may be (and probably is) corrupted but I cannot tell. Either way, I want to completely erase it and re install it. just tell me how.
QT is a structure embedded in the in your platform's operating system. To remove/replace it, you would have to delete/reinstall the entire operating system. On the other hand, the QT 10 Player is an application that provides a graphich interface with the QT structure embedded in your system. It can be removed/replace by simply deleting the QT Player app and reinstalling another copy. This is easily done on Snow Leopard system by simply extracting/installing another copy of the app from you included system discs but an be a real problem under Lion since most people do not keep a a local image of the recovery installation software on their local drive.

Perian 1.2.3 *should* work for both QuickTime & and QTX in Mountain Lion. Regardless of the filetype container, whether it is a Matroska (.mkv) or a .mov. As to the actual encoding of the file (h264, .mp2, whatever..) I have found most play, even older formats.
Even though it's no longer supported and is a dead project, it works just fine. It will load as a System Preference file and adds to the Other category in them.
I think in 10.8 you've still got support for QTX so it may work with that. (in Mavericks, it only works for QT7)
If not, just run QuickTime 7.6.6.

If no luck there, you could also try VLC at http://www.videolan.org

How can we make quick time player play all formats like AVI, MKV, MPEG etc?

How can we make quick time player play all formats like AVI, MKV, MPEG etc?

QuickTime supports many different file types & codecs, but not all. In many cases you can lookup, download & install specific codecs if you need them.
The following may be helpful:

Install Quicktime on the PC.
Or, you can use iDVD to create a standard DVD.

I believe there is a technique which uses some similar suggestion to unwittingly tempt the user into installing malware, in order to be able to watch some (usually sexually explicit) video, so be aware of this ruse.
The only things I would download would be Perian that extends Quicktime, available here,
http://www.perian.org/
and if that did not do it, then try VLC to use instead of Quicktime.
