Is it possible to Edit Mpegs from DVDs?

Hi there. I am just strating a project, a museum installation, that requires footage to be edited together from a variey of sources. Some of these are DVDs. How can I get footage from the DVDs and into FCP for editing. I can convert into Mpeg4 using Handbrake, but can I edit this? What could I use to convert directly into mpeg2, or better still some .mov format like DV.
I apologise, all these file formats, muxing, encryption, decryption, encoding, codecs does my head in and I need some help to clarify what would be best.
Thanks for your advice
Peter

A simple hardware way :
Use a home DVD player - connect audio and video(YC) outputs to a Canopus AD 100 converter - connect the firewire of the AD100 to your Mac - open log and capture in FCP (select non controllable device) - play the DVD with your remote control - pause - then click capture now - play the DVD. You will get directly DV files on your hard disk.
This way you won't get headache. Software way is also available (just write to me : [email protected]

Editing footage from DVD in FCP

Forum,
Here's my issue. A client has a 2 hour presentation on DVD, which they want to edit down to a 90 minute piece. This shorter piece will end up being on a looping DVD. The footage on the original DVD is 16x9 and they want to keep it that way for use on large widescreen monitors. What is the easiest way to get the footage into FCP? The clips to capture will be long, about 30 minutes, do I capture it playing from a DVD player? Do I use a "DVD Ripper"? I have no experience using that type of software.
Help is appreciated.

MPEG Streamclip is what you need to convert the client's DVD to an editable format. The problem is that the video on DVDs is very highly compressed. If you take it, edit it and then recompress it back to a DVD there will be a noticeable loss in quality. Talk to your client and get an uncompressed version of their video (not a DVD).

U310 bought without OS, not possible to boot Win7 from DVD.

Hi,
I just bought an IdeaPad U310 without OS. I tried to boot from a Windows 7 DVD, but as I choose the USB-DVD in the boot menu list, nothing starts and I come back to the booting list.
Can anyone be of help in this situation ?
Thank you.

Hello and welcome,
Try going to BIOS and turning off secure boot if it's enabled. Then either select legacy mode (not UEFI) or if you prefer installing in UEFI mode make sure that CSM support is enabled.

Is it possible to edit info from V$SESSION

I have to write something to the CLIENT_INFO field of whatever table the V$SESSION view gets its data from everytime a user connects to a database. The script should be server-side. Is this possible?

I think you can try something similar;
SQL> create trigger logonuser
2 after logon on database
3 DECLARE
4   machinename VARCHAR2(64);
5 osuserid    VARCHAR2(30);
6 sid NUMBER;
7 serial# NUMBER;
8 program VARCHAR2(100);
9 CURSOR c1 IS
10 SELECT osuser, machine , sid , serial# , program
11 FROM v$session WHERE audsid = USERENV( 'sessionid' );
12 BEGIN
13 OPEN c1;
14 FETCH c1 INTO osuserid, machinename, sid , serial# , program ;
15 INSERT INTO test.LOGTABLE VALUES ( 'LOGON', SYSDATE,
16 USER, osuserid, machinename , sid , serial#, program);
17 CLOSE c1;
18 COMMIT;
19 END;
20 /
SQL> conn system
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> select * from LOGTABLE
2 where schema='SYSTEM';

How can I edit material from 1 or more dvds that I created from my own filmed material in iMovie but which I no longer have in iMovie

How can I edit material from 1 or more dvds that I created from my own filmed material in iMovie but which I no longer have in iMovie

You need to 'reverse engineer' them :
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://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(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.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
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, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
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. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

Is it possible to burn a SD DVD correctly from an Encore CS6 Blu-ray project and content?

Hi all,
I shot and edited AVCHD 1080i30 (60i) square pixel video from a Sony NXCAM HXR-NX5U camcorder in Premiere CS6. I then exported the 1920x1080 edited mpeg2 blu-ray m2v file for import into Encore Cs6. Burning a blu-ray disc in Encore CS6 from this mpeg2 bluray m2v file is no problem and look great even with the default settings.
However, I also want to burn a standard DVD using the same HD Encore CS6 project without having to go back to Premiere CS6 and output a 710x480 mpeg-dvd file. I thought i could simply select the dvd format under the build tab in Encore thinking Encore would handle all the necessary conversions to burn a 720x480 DVD but the menus look jaggy and the video does not play smoothly.
Is it possible to burn a standard DVD correctly from an Encore CS6 HD project and content, or is it better to have Premiere CS6 output a 720x480 mpeg-dvd file and create a new standard 720x480 dvd Encore project instead?
Acording to Encore Help, it says "You can build the same project to DVD and Blu‑ray formats no matter which format you select in the New Project or Project Settings dialog box. Encore makes the appropriate adjustments to transcode the elements to the correct format.", but i'm not convinced Encore is doing things correctly.
Thanks.

Jim,
I tried a variation on your suggestion.
I exported a new m2v file using the mpeg-dvd from Premiere CS6 as you suggested with "Use Maximum Render Quality" checked to get better scaling from HD to SD. I imported it into my Blu-ray EncoreCS6 project by using the "Replace Asset" option and changed the "Project Settings" authoring Mode to "DVD" leaving the HD menu's "Aspect Ratio" at 16:9. I then built the disc using the "Build" tab DVD format and output settings.
It worked!
The jaggies are gone (except for some motion jaggies) and the DVD plays well.
I suppose I could have done something similar within Encore but I'll test that some other time.

I am unable to import recording from DVD to iMovie so that I can edit it.

I am unable to import recording from DVD to iMovie so that I can edit it. Any suggestions?

The files on the DVD are MPEG 2 files and need to be converted in order to be usable in iMovie. Streamclip from Squared5 is one option although others are available. Wondershare is one as well. Just Google for mp2 converters and you'll find many.

Rendering while converting from DVD using MPEG Streamclip or Cinematize

Is there anyway to make rendered .mov file, while converting from DVD to .mov, using MPEG Streamclip or Cinematize for final cut pro?
Thanks.

Are you asking if there's a way to export from mpegstreamclip so you don't need to render when you edit with the file in fcp? If so, yes... (sorry couldn't resist).
What format is your sequence in fcp (make the timeline active and hit command(apple)-zero? Note the pixel dimensions, frame rate and compressor settings and set the quicktime options in mpegstreamclip export dialog to match them. You should be good to go.
Also, you might do some searching here. Pretty sure someone posted a link to a tutorial on how to do this,

I can not edit video from my new DVD Camcorder...

I recently purchased a Canon DC210 in hopes of learning to edit the movies I make with it before taking my honeymoon to Alaska in May, but I am not able to import the video from the disks. Is iDVD capable of doing what I am wanting to do i.e.. import, arrange, and edit scenes from the mini DVDs?

Unless I am missing something the list actually skips over my Model Number (Canon DC210)? I am still not seeing anything that tells me that '08 is going to solve any of my problems. I currently have iDVD 6.0.4 and it doesn't seem to have the capabilities I need. I don't think I am going to invest in another piece of software if I am not able to find something that specifically says it will work with my camera or media type.
Can you point me some where that does actually say it will?

Is it possible to make a CD/DVD cover from exisitng Mac OSX software?

Is it possible to make a CD/DVD cover from existing Mac OSX software?

Depends on what you mean by cover and how elaborate you want it to be.
You could likely create one in TextEdit, but it wouldn't be simple.
I can't think of anything else bundled with the OS that would do that.
There isn't anything "purpose-made" for that task.

FROM DVD DIRECTLY TO MPEG-4 IN ONE STEP?

FROM DVD DIRECTLY TO MPEG-4 IN ONE STEP?
is there like a program that could rip and convert dvds to moeg4 with like ONE program??

Maybe I have been lucky but all the DVD's I have converted have remained in sync... however I do tend to batch run mine overnight so don't pause the software or have it interuptions by other processor operations... ok it should work well whether you do this or not but as I don't have a monster PC with the latest processor and bags of RAM I find it more practical to use the software as I'm doing...

Is it possible to prevent users from viewing a page in Edit Mode?

Hello everyone,
I would like to know if it is possible to prevent users from accessing a portal page in Edit Mode. Currently, the users do not have access to any links that take them to edit mode, but if they add &_mode=16 to the end, they view the page in edit mode. Granted, they don't have permissions to add or edit content, but I would like to keep them from seeing this.
I am using 9.0.4.1
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Jim

hi jim,
you cannot really configure this in portal. if somebody manually appends &_mode=16 we display the default edit mode, but fully enforce security. this means that the user cannot see anything he is not allowed to see: like pending items, hidden, expired or deleted items. as you said he also cannot add, edit or delete any items.
regards,
christian

Editing from DVD TS files on Final Cut

Hi,
I'm sure this is old news to anyone here, but I've been editing on final cut for years with quicktime files and now have a job to do requiring me to capture from playable DVD. I have tried this once before with pretty average and frustrating results.
Does anyone know of a simple way to edit in Final Cut from DVD TS files? Perhaps I need to use IMovie or something different? Or perhaps I can open a TS project, and save on two generations of compression damage?
Any tips would be much appreciated, thanks.
