I cant make a copy of a purchased dvd (for personal use)

Ok, please help,
i made a copy, using disk utility, of a dvd (which i own). What has resulted is this: i have two files on my desktop 1. dracula.cdr and 2. disk2.dmg
these i know are video files, but they seem useless. when i dbl click them i end up with two seperate DVD_VIDEO icons on my desktop, i think these are called volumes. Anyway, they are both 7.21GB which is too large for my 4.7GB DVD-R (and at this stage i don't want to even think about trying to split over two disks!)
But what annoys me is that i can't even view the dvd content that is on my hard drive, let alone burn it to disk!!
What on earth am i missing?? Apart from necessary brain cells..
Thanks,
Anthony

More important, it is beyond the scope of this discussion group, which is intended to cover the use of the iDVD application. This isn't a discussion group about all Apple/DVD issues, it is a discussion group about iDVD-5.
That said, to the original poster, visit http://www.videohelp.com and you might have more luck finding the kind of details you need.
Oh, and is CSS really intended to be disc copy protection? Think about it: What good does it do to encrypt a file and then include the keys in the DVD player? If you copy the disc, leaving the CSS intact, the copy will still play in a DVD player. CSS doesn't prevent discs from being copied. I haven't tried, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if DVD Player.app can play the VIDEO_TS file ripped from a commercial DVD and NOT decrypted.
CSS is patent protection for DVD players. If you build a DVD player and you don't pay the license for the CSS keys, your knockoff DVD player won't play most content. The side effect is that it makes it more difficult for end users to excerpt scenes.

  • I pick a photo, make a copy, add a mask and when I use a brush nothing happens to the mask or the picture. White or black?

    I pick a photo, make a copy, add a mask and when I use a brush nothing happens to the mask or the picture. White or black.

    If I understand you correctly, you have
    Opened an image, and copied the background layer. 
    Added a layer mask, and finding that painting in the mask makes no difference whether you paint with black or white.
    That is what you would expect to happen if both layers are identical.  To demonstrate, make a change to the copied layer.  Either change the blend mode to Multiply, or lower the opacity, or paint big red stripes across it.  Now when you paint with black, the red stripes will disappear where the mask is black, and be visible where the make is white.

  • Copying friend's 'purchased' DVDs

    I would like to copy a friend's DVD selection for personal use which he has purchased. Does the purchased DVD allow for legal copying, unlike the rental versions. Can this be done with my current software-iDVD 5(iLife 5) and 1.67 PowerBook G4 OS X 10.4.6, AND if so, what is the procedure to do so....

    Hello Robert:
    What Mr Shippey meant is that this forum is to be used to discuss questions aimed towards iDVD questions-not questions regarding copying protected DVDs.
    That is illegal and there is no Apple Discussion Forum that deals with illegal requests.
    Sorry about that-

  • Copy cd & dvd for home use

    i read recently that the UK was about to vote in a (for lack of a better word) legislation that would allow the "legal" copying of cd's and (more importantly) dvd's, for home use only.
    i think this is a wonderful idea, and i have very strong feelings and opinions regarding this. but my question is, is there something in the works like that in the US?
    i applaud the UK for their foresight in seeing that the "old" laws do not work in today's age, and would hope that the US sees the need for something like this here.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The subject is perhaps not as straight forward as you might think.
    Legislation allows you to make a back up copy of content you have purchased yourself for your own use only, I believe this applies in both the UK and the US.
    The issue is that whilst this makes backing up CD's legitimate, it does not do the same for protected DVD's. Legislation prohibits the circumvention of copy protection, and you can't copy a protected DVD (even for back up) unless you also break the legislation on copy protection.

  • How best to copy to cd or dvd for viewing on tv as slide show

    want to view photos on tv using cd or dvd - as a slide show - what is best way to do the task?

    Easiest way to make a copy of a bootable CD/DVD (assuming you have an optical device that can burn CD/DVDs) is to pop in the disk, launch Disk Utility, select the volume, select File->New->Disk Image from diskXsY, and in the dialog box that pops up, select CD/DVD Master under Image Format and Encryption->None. Once it's finished, eject the CD/DVD, select the image in Disk Utility, and Images->Burn, pop in the blank, and that should do it. Details in Disk Utility->Help->Disk Utility Help->Duplicating a CD or DVD.
    The master image format is required for bootable disks.

  • Copying DVD contents for personal use only

    I've got some instructional dvd's that I want to take with me to university. But the only problem is i don't want to take the actual dvd's with me. I've tried using Handbrake to copy them off, but the dvd's have different tracks.
    What I want is a full image of the dvd's that I can load into dvd player and watch them. I've tried using Disk Utility to create an image of the dvd, but it doesn't work as i want. I can't view it in Dvd player after extracting it.
    Does anyone have any idea?
    Thanks
    Chris
    Just to re-iterate, these copies will be completely for my own use, and just so I don't risk loosing or damaging the original disks.
    Thanks

    Cheers guys all sorted now.
    Used disk utility to create an image and then extracted it and dragged the video_ts into dvd player.
    Thanks for all the help!

  • Consumption material in two Purchase Order for diff use

    Dear Expert,
    I have two scenario where in one common material  i.e non stock item i am using in a different manner,
    1) One i will use in PO doc type as NB with K(Cost centre) as a acct assignment, where i will procure & consume for my own plant use, as like consumables.
    Here GR will made against NB po will update respective GL of costcentre. (BSX & WRX)
    2) 2nd i will use in PO Doc type as ZPB with K (Cost centre) as a acct assignment, where i wil procure & keep it for a project,
    Here GR will made against ZPB po will update respective GL of costcentre. (BSX & WRX).
    Now  my requirement is i would like to see the diff GL entries of NB PO & ZPB PO of same material. Is it possible in SAP?
    Best ans will be awarded.
    Regards
    TG

    Hi,
    You are procuring same material for the two different reasons ( Own expanse & Project purpose) for the same plant.
    Material , Plant & Acount assignment category 'K' are same, only difference is document type ( NB & ZNB).
    If you are procuring material for the nonstock ( Cost centre 'K') purpose, system won't pick stock account 'BSX'. It will pick another transcation key GBB / VBR - internal goods issue instead of BSX. If you are procuring material only for the stock purpose ( with out account assignment category) , then only system will pick stock account 'BSX'. So, in your case offsetting entry GBB /  VBR & WRX keys will come into picture.
    Create your material with the different valuation class for the each valuation type.
    Valuation type 1  -  Valuation class 1
    Valuation type 2  -  Valuation class 2
    Then maintain OBYC settings, like below for the transcation key GBB.
    GBB
    Valuation grouping code               General modifier             valuation class                       G/L account
    0001                                                       VBR                             VC1                                           G/L 1
    0001                                                        VBR                             VC2                                          G/L 2
    Create two PO's with two different document types and maintain valuation type 1 in the 1st PO and valuation 2 in the second PO.
    Then at the time of doing GR, system will pick G/L account your valuation type.
    In this manner, system will pick different G/L accounts for the each case.

  • How to make a copy of an application with its schema-tables,data and all

    Good day,
    I am looking for the best way to make a copy of an application from one computer to another, including the schema (tables, data and all) in Apex3.2.
    I can only manage to make a copy of the application without the data using the export utility
    Please assist with this difficulty
    Kind Regards

    Hello,
    To copy across the data you can use the traditional EXP/IMP or the Datapump utility.
    If you're used to using EXP/IMP I'd encourage you to look at Datapump, if you haven't used EXP/IMP before I'd encourage you to look at Datapump (datapump rocks) -
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDataPump10g.php
    There are a few major differences between Datapump and traditional EXP/IMP (EXP/IMP creates the export file on the client side, Datapump creates it on the server side etc).
    In my book "Pro Oracle Application Express" I have a section on cloning applications/data between instances, which you might find useful.
    Hope this helps,
    John.

  • How to make a copy of one company to another

    hi
         i want to have a backup of one company! can anyone help me how to make a copy of an existing company

    Hi,
    you can use the SQL backup and restore
    if you use SQL 2000, open Enterprise manager, right click on the company DB that you wish to back up and choose "all tasks" -> "Backup Database"
    then click "Add" and select the name of your backup
    then press OK and you just made a backup of your company DB.
    for duplicating DB, just create a new empty sql DB and right click on it->All tasks->select Restore database -> select from device -> clickon from device and select the backuped DB to duplicate.
    go to the option tab and make sure the restore path is correct and that Force restore is marked.
    hope it helps
    let me know if you need more info

  • MRP - Single Purchase requisition for multiple Items

    Hi
    We have recently introduced MRP module in SAP .In some specific scaeanrios , we want to create a single Purchase Requisition for multiple items .Standard SAP generate different Purchase requisition for each item
    Is there any way out

    Sandeep,
    This topic has been covered numerous times in this forum and in the MM forum.  You evidently have not used the search feature.  There are thousands of posts in these forums, and the search function will be very helpful for you in future questions.
    To answer your question, No, nothing is available to make standard SAP MRP create Purchase requisitions for multiple items.
    Most companies address this issue during the conversion of Purchase Requisitions to Purchase orders.  During this process, you can add many items to a single purchase order.
