HT4095 how do I download a dvd and add it to my library?

Q:  HOW DO I "BURN"A DVD  TO MY COMPUTER??

What sort of "DVD" are you referring to? A commercial video DVD or a movie or TV show? If that's what you mean, then sorry but breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries) and hence Apple explicitly forbids such posts. We're therefore not allowed to discuss it here.   Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie for use on computers and portable devices. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature. Walmart/Vudu also has a service that basically gives you a digital copy of a DVD you already own. See:
http://www.vudu.com/disc_to_digital.html
If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. Once converted, you just drag the movie into the iTunes window on your computer.
Regards.

  • How do I download a DVD and transfer it into iMovie?

    Okay, so I have a few DVD and quicktime files I want to make into a movie. However, iMovie won't recognize them when I try to import them. Plus, how do I download a DVD onto my computer. It's sort of a home movie kind of thing and I want to send it to someone. And oh yeah, I don't understand a word of computer jargon, so in plain english if you could. Thanks.

    Hi
    There are no program as standard in a Mac that can copy a DVD to iMovie.
    You need to do it another way:
    • Roxio Toast™ can back engineer to streamingDV that iMovie can read/import - or -
    • Use a DVD-player and a miniDV tape Camera and copy to tape. This iMovie can import.
    Else:
    A. don't put a mini DVD into Your Mac unless it’s a trayloaded DVD burner/reader
    B. Read what Karsten collected:
    DVD back to iMovie:
    .. and here the complete 'full 9 yards' ... :
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3822853&#3822853
    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
    from: Bobby Keene
    none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

  • How can I download a dvd on my mac osx 10.7.4?

    How can I download a dvd on my mac osx 10.7.4?

    I am assumming these DVDs are your own personal property and are NOT rented or borrowed DVDs.
    Once again, assuming that you own these DVDs, I recommend using Mac DVDRipper Pro to extract the content from your PERSONAL DVDs. I have it installed on my computer and it rips DVD's at maximum speed and uses very little processing power.
    You can find more info. about Mac DVDRipper Pro at the following link...
         http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31118/mac-dvdripper-pro/
    ... About converting the extracted video to a format that can be played on an iPod or iPad, I'll let someone else take a jab at that.

    How do I download my Music and Movies from my Apple TV to my MacBook

    You can't, unless you bought them from the iTunes Store on the Apple TV.
    The Apple TV can receive content only, it does not sync content back, except items that you have purchased on the Apple TV.

  • How can I download FLV completely and only then play video on Flash?

    What is a proper way to download video first and then play it in Flash? NetStream seems to allow me only to stream video - I can't find a way to download file completely first. Is there some other file for this?
    It looks like I can download the file using URLLoader, then do NetStream.play(null) and then append bytes from URLLoader using NetStream.appendBytes(...), but I get: "SecurityError: Error #2123: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: file:///Users/Paulius/Build.swf cannot access unknown URL. No policy files granted access." Is there a workaround?

    No, I don't think that's the issue. I have no problems downloading the video using URLLoader, which does the crossdomain check. Problem is when I do this:
    stream = new NetStream(connection);
    // ... snip ...
    video = new Video();
    video.attachNetStream(stream);
    addChild(video);
    stream.play(null);
    stream.appendBytes(videoByteArray as ByteArray); // videoByteArray is taken from URLLoader downloaded content, i.e. the video
    As you can see NetStream doesn't know anything about the video, it doesn't know anything about the server, so it can not take something from crossdomain.xml.
    As far as I've read, it's imposible to do what I'm doing: simply Flash security won't allow to take contents of anonymous stream (i.e. stream started with play(null)).
    So my question is: how do I download video first and then play (instead of streaming) it in some other way? I couldn't find such API on NetStream itself.

  • Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free?

    Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free? Please help me.

    stevejobsfan is correct; iwork for ios is free only for new purchases of new ios devices. A good work around (if you have wifi connectivity) is going to the icloud website on your ipad, and working on your document.
    A word of caution (the real reason I am responding to your post). If you do a lot of 'formatting' of a document on iwork for mac, and then save it in icloud; you will probably loose most of the formatting you have done (this will be true if you oppen the document in iwork for ios; also) It happened to me, and I did not duplicate the document before saving it to icloud; I lost at least an hours worth of work.

    No "what if."   No one here knows exactly what you really want to do legally or illegally.  Suggest that you re-read Apple's TOU which you agreed to.
    You would do better by doing a Google search for exactly what you want to do & the instructions to do so.  "Google is your friend."
