Importing from DVD not showing full video

I'm trying to import a video (VOB file) from a DVD, but the full frame of the video is not showing. The frame size that is importing seems to be importing as a different frame size than the video is and I can't seem to change it. The import seems to be cropping it. If I adjust the size in the Program Sequence window, it is showing the cropped version of the video.
Can any of the other files on the DVD be imported such as the IFO file?

... What other formats can iMovie & iDVD use? What do you recommend? ...just dv. and for stills jpeg, tifff.. and for music aiff, mp3... but that was not your question any other video-codec gets converted/has to be converted...
... which are apparently very, very big - one half-hour folder was 6 GB...rule: 1h video = ~13Gb... that is the amount of data on tape... iM uses a digital copy of that. many other codecs do a much better compression, BUT lossy!
... many times bigger than it needs to be...no, a video-DVD is meant for playback only...the compression codec just stores the delta(=difference) from frame to frame... for edit purposes, you need the info of EVERY frame on tape...
... How should I adjust the settings if I want to get an hour's worth of video & audio on a standard 4.7 GB blank DVD-R?
...you don't do settings using iDVD. this app needs a dv stream to work in the highest possible quality. use the export to iDVD feature of iM.
in case, you spend a few k$, you can buy DVDSP, including a tool called Compressor... after learning a few years to handle it, you can result smaller files with higher quality.....

Import from camera not showing preview images

When I import from my DSLR, I see empty boxes representing all the images on the card but no preview. I'm set to import JPEG and the images are JPEG. I have the option Do Not Import Duplicates turned off. I've tried restarting Aperture (3.1) and even restarting the iMac (10.6.5) but to no avail. Does anyone has any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Cool this is good, 1 you can still access images and two you have identified Aperture as being the issue. The next step is to do some basic maintenance on your system, have a read of the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics at the following link.

Trouble shooting is about eliminating possibilities, so step through each of these, although unlikely, it is usually the unlikely causing the issue. If it were obvious you would not have asked the question.

Songs imported from CD not showing in iTunes

I have recently started using a new PC, I copied my iTunes Library from my laptop onto the new PC and all songs have transferred across apart from those that I had imported from a CD. Is there an easy way to recover these songs instead of importing all of them again on my new PC?

Do the non-syncing songs play in iTunes on the computer?

Html import from edge not showing on ipad 3

Hi all, i hope someone can help.
I am currently putting together a portfolio of my work in Adobe dps to take to client meetings and show on my ipad 3.
The intro page to my portfolio consists of a full screen animation created in Adobe Edge which i created at 1024 x 768 and imported into my folio which is also set up at 1024 x 768 and the animation looks great on the ipad 3 which has a screen resolution of 2048 x 1536. Further on in my document i show examples of my work and these look a little pixelated (they look ok but im being fussy and think they could be sharper), im assuming this is because they are set for a 1024 x 768 and im running it on a 2048 x 1536 screen. So i started again and re-created my html Edge animation on a document size of 2048 x 1536, created a new 2048 x 1536 folio to import it into. When viewed on the iPad it looks huge, the animation that is supposed to be in the centre of the screen is half cut off in the bottom right of the screen. I tried importing the 1024 x 768 version into the 2048 x 1536 folio and all i get is a black screen.
Im really confused and don't really know what to try next, im not from a web background so my coding skills a minimal.
Any help or advice would be greatly appriciated.
Please note i am importing the html as an article to the folio rather than as a html overlay, also i am not pulising these i am viewing them in content viwer on the ipad.
Thanks in advance
Pie

You should be working at 1024x768 and setting the folio to 2048x1536.
As far as the images, as long as they’re 144 ppi or higher they should be fine.
Try that and let us know.

Import from DVD (Not copywright material)

Some of my older work is on dvd and I no longer have it on my hard drive. Is there a way to import video segments (not copywright material) into Final Cut?

These must be new additions then. I evaluated all three of them last year and only DVDxDV allowed the use of different codecs.
Now that I think of it, I think Cinimatize might have used the Apple mpeg-2 decoder, which was resizing the horizontal resolution from 720 to 640. That was also a problem I was having trying to convert, and only DVDxDV did it right.
I guess a few things really do get better with time.

Importing songs from CDs - not showing up in my Library

I am aving trouble importing songs from CDs. I completed the process as instructed - using the "import this CD" button (I have done this many times successfully).
The import process ran OK. When the Import process completed, I looked in my music Library and the songs were not there.
I repeated the process - same result. Nothing in my music library.
What should I do?

Re: [iPod classic] - Re: Importing songs from CDs - not showing up in my Library
Thu, Feb 09, 2012 08:01 PM
When I load the CD, iTunes recognizes it and asks me if I want to Import the CD.
When I click on "Import CD", the song titles are retreived and show up. The iTunes bar at the top of the screen shows "Importing track 1" or "Importing the song by title". Each song is imported, and I can see each song being impotrted via the iTunes bar at the top of the screen. iTunes shows that the CD has been imported, and the system dings when the import is done.
This is exactly the same as every other time I've imported CDs. The only difference is that the songs do not show up in the library.
Thanks

Cannot import from DVD disc

I have recorded a 3 minute segment of a newscast using my DVD recorder - it contains video of a close friend of mine. I have a DVD disc which I burned on the DVD recorder from its Hard Drive containing only this short video which I want to give to him. I have tried to import it into iMovie so that I will have it on my iMac as a backup file but have been unsuccessful. I have tried following the procedure posted by "Appleman1958" in Dec 09 with no success - I know that he indicates that it is for iMovie 09 and perhaps that is my problem since I am working with iMovie HD 6. All I get is a 32 sec portion of the video with no sound. The VIDEO_TS folder on the DVD disc contains the following files: VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.VOB (it appears to be the title menu created by the DVD recorder but has nothing listed on it), VTS010.1F0, VIDEO_TS.1F0, VTS01O.BUP and VTSO11.VOB. I tried dragging ONLY the VIDEO_TS.VOB file onto mpeg streamclip as per the instructions ("drag the non-zero .VOB files and drop them into MPEG Streamclip) but it is only the title menu and there is no video. I tried adding the VTS011.VOB also but again only about 32 sec appears and there is no sound. Sorry, but I am a complete novice at this, do not understand what a VIDEO_TS folder is and what all those files within it mean and need some help here. And yes, I have purchased the Apple MPEG2 QT Component. Any simple, step-wise assistance would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi
Nop. iMovie HD6 are mainly for miniDV tape material imported via FireWire-port.
BUT - it can be done IN SOME CASES
*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.
DVD back to iMovie.

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

none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

Import option is not showing the Data Source created using ODBC

Hi all,
I'm new to OBIEE, just installed OBIEE 10g in my system with the help of some reply from this Forum (thanks to Kalyan for this).
Now when I tried to create new rpd, the Import option is not showing the Data source I have created. I have created new Datasource in the SystemDSN tab of the ODBC Administrator window,I have tried this by creating the Datasource in the UserDNS tab as well.
Mine is Windows 7 Ultimate. The new data source which I have created through the ODBC Administrator window is to connect to SQL 2008 (I'm trying to get some table from SQL 2008 database), I don't have Oracle data base.
While creating the Data source ODBC Administrator is showing only two drives (SQL Server and SQL Server Native Client 10.0 ) , so I have created the Data source using the SQL Server Native Client 10.0 drive.
Can some one help me to understand the issue and to solve it.
Thanks,
Mithun

Why is my import from DVD-R going soooo SLOW??

OK, I'm very new in the Mac world and am still trying to move my photos from my PC. I burned all of the photos to a DVD-R using the Kodak gallery program. I have 3 DVDs of photos.
Now I am in the process of importing into iPhoto. I opened iPhoto, inserted the DVD #1, and then selected import to library. The first thousand photos imported fine, but the last hundred or so have taken FOREVER...like several minutes per photo.
Should I let this just go overnight, or stop the import and try again?
Has anyone ever experienced this slowness when importing from DVD?
Thanks!

CC:
You would be better off copying the files to a folder on the desktop and then into iPhoto as copying from a disk the file first has to be copied to a temp file and then into iPhoto. I don't know how far you are in the current disk import but for the future ones I'd definitely copy to a folder first and then into iPhoto.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Importing from DVD CAM

Hi, I just installed Adobe Premiere Pro but I don't know how to import my videos from my DVD CAM. Could anyone tell me how to import from DVD CAM?
Thank you

Was just given 2 DVD cam discs containing footage that was shot at a concert I am editing. On reviewing the discs, I noticed that each song is assigned to a separate chapter on the DVD. I'd really like to use this footage as it provides additional camera angles I didn't cover. I am going to use my old Ulead Video Studio 8 program to convert the DVD files to mpg's for editing in Pr. (I will also check out the software Jeff mentioned). I'm trying to convert each chapter on the DVD to an mpeg2 file so the files size is manageable.
The footage I shot is mini DV, and I plan on mixing the two sources. What do I need to look out for as far as the "conversions/extra steps" you mentioned?
Thanks.

Contacts from 2010 not showing info in 2013

I recently upgraded from 2010 to 2013. When the contacts moved over i cannot find all of the information like anniversary date that was in the details tab of 2010. Is there an icon or setting that i am missing to see all of this previous information?

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, Contacts from 2010 not showing info in 2013, then please follow these steps: -
After switch from Outlook 2010 to 2013, simply press
CTRL+3 to see an overview of all your Contacts folders. If the folder is there and holds your contacts, then either the folder has not been set as an
Outlook Address Book or Outlook Address Book Service is broken in your mail profile.
If the contacts are not in the contact folder, then you either forgot to select the folder when creating an export, or didn’t select the folder when importing the
PST-File. You can take a fresh copy of your backup or the pst-file that you imported from.
Then connect to the pst-file in Outlook via:
File > Open > Open Outlook Data File
Now, check the contacts folder again. If you did not find your Contacts in that pst-file, you can select them all
(CTRL+A) and move them (CTRL+SHIFT+V) or copy them
(CTRL+SHIFT+Y) to your main contact folder.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards
