IMovie isn't showing my entire imported DVD
Hi,
So I had a DVD of a basketball game that I filmed which was 65 minutes long. I created a .dmg file and then imported that to iMovie. iMovie successfully imported all 65 minutes but when I view it in the event library it only shows 36:52 of the game. I tried to do it again and got the same results. I do have enough space on my hard drive.
Anybody know what is going on here?
Thanks!

My iMovie isn't showing up and I did updates and everything
Okay, so I needed to present my iMovie project to my class and it was working fine until I pluged my computer into the projector. So I umpluged it and now it just isn't opening up. I did updated it asked for. When I click on it to open the only thing that shows is the 'Welcome to iMovie' direction page, even though I have been using iMovie on this computer for a good year and a half. How will I fix it?

My clip preview on the right isn't showing the entire frame, it looks magnified?
I checked the magnification settings but I still can't see the entire edges of the frame?
Sounds like the Sequence Settings don't match the dimensions of the source content. Try dragging the clip in the Project panel to the New Item button in that panel's lower right corner.
If that doesn't resolve it, please post a screenshot showing the Source Monitor and Program Monitor and, ideally, the Project panel with the Video Info column visible. -
I made a homemade DVD using iMovie/iDVD - this was 6 years ago
- I didn't save any content.
I want to import the video of the DVD back into iM - how do I do it?
I also want to upload it to youtube.
thanksHi
My list on this.
*DVD back for futhur editing*
A. don't put a mini DVD into Your Mac unless it’s a trayloaded DVD burner/reader
B. iMovie’08 prob. 09 can import from DVD (homemade without copyprotection)
C. Read what Karsten collected.
D. I prefere one of two
• Copy to miniDV tape from set-top DVD-player --> Camera -or-
• Roxio Toast™ - Can back convert to streamingDV for iMovie or FinalCut
DVD back to iMovie.
.. and here the complete 'full 9 yards' ... .
//discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=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$) + Streamclip (free)
• Cinematize >60$
• Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
• Toast 6/7/8/9/10 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...

Question About Importing DVD Video to iMovie 9
I have some home DVDs with 3 types of files on them (.BUP, .IFO, and .VOB), and they are all grayed out when I try to import them in iMovie. iMovie help says the format has to be in MPEG-4, DV, or .mov files
What's the recommended converter/process to get the DVD video into iMovie?
All I really want to do with the video is capture clips from the DVDsHi Appleman1958,
Here's situation: I have several DVDs that were burned from home videos (high school football games, etc.). I don't know whether they were burned using iMovie/iDVD or some other program. I need to pull clips from the individual DVDs and combine them into a new DVD. I've edited movies that were recorded on my digital camera with iMovie and burned the project to a DVD using iDVD, so that part isn't a problem.
My questions are as follows:
1. I downloaded the QuickTime component and Streamclip, per the instructions in your post dated 12/5/09. After I installed each application (or thought I did), I dragged the files from the "download" folder to the trash. Now I don't see the applications in the Finder. Did I uninstall the applications when I dragged the downloaded files to the trash? Also, the file types in the trash are "Disk Images" (.dmg). Is that correct?
1. Will the QuickTime MPEG2 Component/Streamclip process work for DVDs that weren't created using Apple software?
Thanks in advance for your help. -
Hi, Can anyone recommended software to import dvd to iMovies. I need to import about a dozen homemade DVD's and edit them into a single DVD comprising the 'best bits'. How best can I do this. I have an external hard drive available for the job
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion even though that has it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7. -
I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported
and edited them in iMovie and then burned them onto a DVD using iDVD.
I can see the weak jerkiness when panning in both laterally
and vertically.
I shoot with a camcorder Canon Vixia HF10. The camera has been set to deliver HD quality (1920x1080). But I have accidentally filmed with a frame rate of 60 (?).
When I import the films in iMovie I have been asked if I want to change to frame rate 30 (instead of 25). I have chosen 30.
Could it be the setting of a frame rate 60 in my camcorder that causes jerkiness when panning or what else?I have problems with my films that become slightly jerky after I have imported

I converted home viedos from a vhs to dvd. what do i need to import dvd to imovie so i can edit and combine?
DVD is a finish format. Its primary purpose is for viewing. It doesn't lend itself well to further digital editing.
You'll have better results inporting the original VHS into iMovie through an analog-digital converter. Do you still have the VHS tapes? -
Help! iMovie 10.0.2 does not show my entire sound effects library
I've been building an extensive iLife sound effects library to use for my videos and when I open the library in a wondow it shows all of my audio files. When I try to import sound files in iMovie 10.0.2 however, it only shows the standard audio files from apple, it does not show my own imported files. How do I get to my files in the new iMovie? I'm getting very frustrated, I need to get this project done quickly and I keep running into problems like this with this new updated version This is taking up too much of my time! Please help!
No, I did not.
Meanwhile I have found the reason for the projects disappear in my libraries! The problem is caused by using the dash "#" symbol in my project names.
I have created another project with a dash in the name and the project also disappeared in iMovie with the same effect that the underlying data was still in die library.
Apple should release a warning that some special characters are not allowed to be used in project names or better should solve this.
Thanks for your help! -
How to import DVD friend made on Tivo so I can edit in iMovie HD6?
The DVD will play in my G4 Powerbook's DVD player but won't import into iMovie. I have several important DVDs that my friend recorded with Tivo (I don't have Tivo myself) and I need to edit them in iMovie, so I'd be totally grateful if someone could advise me. Thanks!
The standard format of a DVD is mpeg2 which is a final delivery format not intended for editing. The files on the DVD will need converting.

IMovie Isn't Loading Properly, Screen Showing Up Blank
Does anyone know why my iMovie isn't displaying properly, when I open up iMovie the program display looks like this.
I deleted some events previously but I don't know what could have caused this. I've been editing some videos recently where the files I'm importing are large, but I don't know if what's what caused this. The length of the videos was only between 1-2 hours. I'd appreciate any advice or answers as to how I could resolve this.You mean update to 8.0.6, I did that already. Here is the pic, you have seen it before?

A number of photos from iphoto used in imovie project all show the same image when playing back. The previw when clicking and dragging them and also the pictures in the storyline. Yet when playing the clip a previous immage keeps on appearing. What could be the problem?
You created a mess and there is no solution - with the actions you have taken those photos are gone unless you have access to them from some other source - they existed in two place - in your iPhoto library and on your backup drive - you have traded the backup drive and restore an earlier iPhoto library so all you have is what you have
