HOW TO USE CLIPS FROM A DVD???

HOW TO USE CLIPS FROM A DVD???
i know this may be a stupid and obvious question but i can't seem to figure it out.
these are not copyrited dvds... mostly home movies and old home movies put onto dvd.
thank you... much appreciated.

Studio X has given one suggestion.
MPEG Streamclip is another:-

It is free but your computer may not have the QT MPEG 2 Playback Component which costs $20 from Apple as a download.
If you have access to an Analogue-DV converter you can use that. Also a DV camcorder which has Analogue IN.
If you have Final Cut Pro installed, you will have the QT component.

    Just do a search for Handbrake. That will do it for you.

  • Extract a clip from a DVD

    Yeah, like the Subject says, "Extract a clip from a DVD". How can I do that? And, I'd like the subtitles to be extracted as well. It's for my presentation thing. It's irritating if I have to search for a particular scene during the presentation, so having the clips in the Powerpoint is better. But the film I'm presenting on is a foreign one, so I need the subtitles to go in the clip as well.

    You can select chapters, if you just want a piece of a chapter then rip the chapter and use iMovie or Quicktime Pro to take that piece out.

  • 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?

  • Pulling Individual Clips from Commercial DVD's

    Looking for good (preferably free) software that'll allow me to rip specifics clips from a DVD movie in high quality for editing with in imovie. I used to use media converter boxes but do not have that sort of gear available right now. The higher the resolution possible, the better.
    Any ideas?

    I don't know any free software that will do that. Cinematize 2 will, but it costs something like $60. It works really well - you can set your in and out points anywhere on the DVD, and import the file as DV in full quality. If you then make a DVD from it, it will look as good as the original. Of couse it's not free, and it won't do copy-protected DVDs directly (you can rip them with another program, and then Cinematize will work on the videoTS file).

  • Does anyone know how to use vlookup from a pop up menu to retrieve another pop up menu?

    Does anyone know how to use vlookup from a pop up menu to retrieve another pop up menu?

    BM,
    Pop-Up menu format is not dynamic. It is created in the Cells Inspector and can't be modified contingent upon the state of other cells.
    You could program a table to list the options available for the previous selection, but it wouldn't be in the form of a Pop-Up.

  • I am making a reel. How do I take clips from past DVDs Ive made and place them into Final Cut 4.0?

    Anyone answering,
    I am making a reel to show businesses what kind of work I can do. I am trying to take clips from past projects I have finished and place those clips in FCXpress 4.0. How do I go about doing this? Any advice on how I can do this will be a tremendous help for me.
    Thank you for your time!!

    Hi Jeremy,
    You will have to convert the DVD video to QuickTime using either Apple DV or Apple Intermediate Codec.
    Most people in this forum seem to use MPEG Streamclip to do this.  I have used it a lot it and it works great.
    Note that in addition to MPEG Streamclip (which is free), you will need the QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component if you do not already have it on your Mac.  It is available from the Apple Online Store for $19.  This needs to be on your Mac in order for MPEG Streamclip to be able to convert the MPEG2 video that is on your DVDs.
    If it were me, and the video is standard 4:3 aspect ratio, I would probably convert it to QuickTime/DV; if widescreen 16:9  then I would probably convert it to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec instead.
    After converting the video, select  an appropriate FCE Easy Setup to match how you converted the video in MPEG Streamclip.  Then import the converted file(s) and edit them into a new sequence.

  • Does anyone know how to pull a clip from a dvd but make it smaller?

    I have downloaded a DVD taken by another parent and need to remove clips from that for a highlight film. It downloaded as 4 separate 8 minute clips for some reason. That's fine but now I want to pull specific sections from those clips and move them to the movie I am creating. When I do this, they retain the original size of the entire clip (1.61GB) when I really need them to be smaller. I have iMovie 5.0.2. Can anyone give me some guidance?

    OK so it sounds like you have the content off the DVD and onto your computer, yes? If so, which format is the footage? DV, MPEG2, etc.?
    You get them into iMovie ok? If so, then you just need to shorten the clip and export or use the smaller part?
    Do you know how to use iMovie in general to trim and edit clips or is this your first attempt at iMovie?

  • How do I import short 'clips' from a DVD of a commercial film into I-Movie?

    Hi, tech wizards!
    I have a copy of a commercial film on a DVD. I teach this film in my class, and want to 'snip' the pertinent parts of the film from the DVD and put them into Keynote -- to do that I need to, I believe, first transfer these 'snips' to iMovie. Leaving aside copyright questions (hey, I'm just a teacher!) does anybody know how to do this?
    Right now I'm just playing the movie on my apple DVD player, and trying to figure out how to 'snip' the pertinent clips, and transfer them to i-Movie clips.
    Thank you!

    borrow a miniDV camcorder with analogue-in
    connect to dvd-standalone player
    import sequences
    proceed with tape as usual...
    there ARE tools to import digitally/"rip" copy protected material, in most territories of western hemisphere illegal to own, to name, to use...

  • Using video from a DVD created using iDVD

    I now have iLife '05. I created a DVD in iDVD with IDVD4 and have deleted the original DV files and project (typically!!!). There is now a clip on the DVD that I want to use in another project.
    Can I extract it from the DVD in any way?
    Thanks

    I have been faced with this problem before and have tried the different tools that are available including using UNIX scripts ect. I usually end up frustrated and spend half my life trying to understand how things work and how to use stuff. In the end it just became such a hassle that I gave up!!
    What really crunched it was when I bought a DVD RW player and started recording stuff from the TV and found myself more and more needing to do exactly what you are saying. Take extracts from the TS_Video folder and import them into imovie.
    In the end I saw an article in Mac World magazine for Cinamatize2 from http://www.miraizon.com. I have only had it a week or so, and am still getting used to it. What I will say is that it's a lot easier to use than all the other "scripts" etc that I've tried. It has a user friendly GUI and good instructions!! at the moment you can get it for just over $50 with the Mac World 10% discount. I think that it's money well spent if you intend to do this regularly!!

  • Trying to use Imovie to create a movie using a Mac OSX 10.6.7, 3.2 g Intel core. Using clips from my Sony CRX 150 and need to remove sound in order to add music to the movie. HEELLLP!

    OK, I 'm attempting my first movie here using this Mac OSX Snow Leopard with IMovie. I have clips I created from an 8mm Movie projector copied on my Sony CRX 150 and the sound of the projector is all over these clips and I have no idea how to remove that before adding music. So far this has been great and this is my first bump in the road. Also I notice tho, that the icon for my camcorder has disappeared from the desktop and looks like I'm gonna have trouble "ejecting" it in order to shut things down!!!  HELLLLP!

    Thanks. I tested it out and you were correct. I loaded 2 .dv movies from my external HD back onto my internal HD, and got them re-imported into iMovie, took a few short clips from each of the 2 iMovie events and pasted them into a new project in the Project Browser. Then I deleted these 2  "source clips" from my internal HD, closed iMovie and then re-opened it and found that iMovie would NOT export the smaller clips for a "highlights" .4mv movie without the "source clips" being available.
    I read your link on Quicktime. It talks about mostly trimming, which is what I did with each iMovie event before I took each one as a project to export as a smaller .4mv file. But if I use Quicktime (do I need QT Pro or basic), what advantage is it to me to use QT over iMovie (I must admit I am a novice at iMovie and have never used QT or QT Pro as a tool)? Will it then convert any edits I make to a .m4v movie or do I need iMovie to do that?
    Does QT allow trimming multiple segments out of a movie during one edit session, or can you only do 1 at a time? By that I mean that, for example, when I use Sonys Picture Motion Browser for my .mts movies, you can only set one Start and one End point for each edit/trim you do: it does not allow you to set multiple Start Stop points like iMovie allows in its Event or Project browser. You can only do one "trim" at a time, save it and then reopen to do another trim. not very useful.

  • How to import clips from iPhoto

    Hi
    is there a way to bring in short avi clips from my iPhoto library to iMovie?
    I am using drag & drop as a work around, which is fine, but would be nice not to have to open iPhoto.
    Steve.

    Hi Adam, thanks for your reply.
    Issues of quality aside, yeah. I have some short .avi movie clips that were shot on my Casio Exlim stills camera. Since iPhoto 5 (I think) the import and management of the clips is dealt with automatically through iPhoto just as if they were stills (albums, keywords etc) and are viewed/edited externally via QT.
    Unless I am missing something obvious, I cannot see how to import a clip from the iPhoto library via the iMovie interface as you do with regular stills?
    If I have iPhoto open alongside iMovie and drag clip thumbnails from the library to iMovie's clip 'wells' the import runs as expected.
    Cheers, Steve.

  • Audacity - how to use songs from iTunes?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create some song clips to use in a music quiz - using songs from my iTunes library. I've downloaded Audacity and the MP3 encoder but am completely stuck - not sure that the encoder is even installed yet as I can't click on anything when I try and 'find' it.
    I can't get most of my songs to play in Audacity - I think they're in an unsuitable format - .mp4? But how do I convert existing songs in iTunes into a format that I can edit in Audacity? AND then, do I burn them onto a CD in a particular format so that they will play on a PC (for the quiz)?
    Any help would be great - many thanks.

    The guide to installing the Lame encoder is here
    http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&item=lame-mp3
    I just saved mine to my Audacity folder in Applications then pointed Audacity in the right direction 1st time I used it.
    Right click on a track in iTunes and select "convert to mp3" does the trick.
    PCs read MP3's so all should be well. If not, save the tracks as WAVs (audio files).
