Making a new Movie video from an Existing DVD? How do you do it?

I have IMovie 6.0.3 and IDVD 6.0.4. I have my daughter's wedding on a DVD, put together by a wedding videographer. I want to make another copy, but edit it first, then make a new copy of the edited version.
What are the steps to do that? I tried importing it into IMovie, and it won't work. I've tried everything, and any help screens are useless. Am I missing something here? Maybe it can't be done.
Sorry, but I'm very new to this technology.

Hi
If this is true then I suggest it to.
Take a look at Cinematize 2, I've used it with iMovie 06 and iDVD 09. It has several modes of converting the data. One mode is called "lossless".
But I've never seen a lossless back conversion from DVDs.
I prefere to either
• Use Roxio Toast 10 - Export back function
• Connect miniDV tape Camera to a DVD-player and record onto a new tape
My list on this
*DVD back for further 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.
.. and here the complete 'full 9 yards' ... .
//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$) + Streamclip (free)
• Cinematize >60$
• 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...

Making a Quicktime movie clip from non-commercial DVD

I want to capture a five minute clip of video from a non-commercial (i.e. homemade) DVD and save as a Quicktime movie. How do I go about this?

You will need QuickTime Pro and the Viewer, both available for purchase from the Apple Store. One word of caution, when I try to pull video from my home-made DVDs, QT only play the first 2 to 6 seconds of the video that may be almost an hour long. I am trying to find a solution, but before I would recommend that you spend the $50 to purchase Pro and Viewer, I would wait until there is some resolution to this problem.

Help with creating a new XML file from an existing DOM tree!!

i want to create a new XML file from an existing DOM tree
i used this code to create a new document:
static public Document createDocument(String fileName) throws ParserConfigurationException//,IOException,SAXException
          try {
               DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
               factory.setIgnoringComments(true);
               factory.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true);
               factory.setValidating(true);
               DocumentBuilder builder =factory.newDocumentBuilder();
               return builder.newDocument();
//          handle exception creating DocumentBuilder
          catch ( ParserConfigurationException parserError ) {
                    throw new ParserConfigurationException();
          }then i used this code to transform the DOM :
public void exportDocument(Document document) {
          try {
               Source xmlSource = new DOMSource( document );
               Result result = new StreamResult( System.out );
               TransformerFactory transformerFactory =
                    TransformerFactory.newInstance();
               Transformer transformer =transformerFactory.newTransformer();
               transformer.setOutputProperty( "indent", "yes" );
               transformer.transform( xmlSource, result );
       //then catching the exceptions
But the file was not created and i didn't find where can i specify the DTD that the XML file should use and where can i enter the name of the XML file itself
Another questoin can i write a DTD file dynamically during the execution of the program??

Creating new graphics object from a existing one and sending it for print

Hello,
i have a graphics object which is big in size, I am creating a new graphics object from the existing one as given below
//map is a graphic object
Graphic g1 = (Graphic)map.create(x,y,width,height);
Graphic g2 = (Graphic)map.create(x,y,width1,height1);
Graphic g3 = (Graphic)map.create(x,y,width2,height2);
arrayList.add(g1);
arrayList.add(g2);
arrayList.add(g3);
Now I want to send the graphic object g1,g2,g3 for print in the method
public int print (Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int idx) throws PrinterException {
// Printable's method implementation
if (curPageFormat != pf) {
curPageFormat = pf;
pages = repaginate (pf);
if (idx >= 3)) {
return Printable.NO_SUCH_PAGE;
g = (Graphics) arrayList.get(idx);
return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;
This is not working... what is wrong. can anybody suggest..
I tried standardprint.java to print a object inside a scrollpane, it is not printing the entire diagram. so I am thinking of something like this.... Please let me know what to do....
Thanks
Serj

The easy way to do this is create a copy using Windows Explorer.
Open the project and go to File > Rename.
Then you have your 2013 ready made project.

On a new Mac how to transfer video from an external DVD to an external hard rive

I want to transfer my family videos from an external DVD player attached to my new mac to an external hard drive for back up purposes. What do I do? Thanks.

It is an external DVD drive connected by USB.
Then you can copy your DVDs using Disk Utility.
Insert your DVD in the drive. If DVD player opens, close it. Then open Disk Utility. (Disk Utility comes with all Macs; it's located in the /Applications/Utilities folder.)
In Disk Utlity, select your DVD disk in the pane on the left side. Then do File > New Disk Image from (title of your DVD disk).
Then give a name to the copy you are about to create and select a save location.
In "Image Format" select DVD/CD Master (very important!)
Set encryption as NONE (also very important!)
Then Save
This will create a disk image file on your hard drive. It's a duplicate of your DVD. You can burn this image to other DVD media and/or play it on your computer same as if it were an actual DVD disk.
Note: this will not work with commercial DVDs due to their copy protection.

Can anyone help me move video from Sony HDR-XR550 to ipad 3gs via camera connector kit?

Can anyone help me move video from a Sony HDR-XR550 to ipad 3g via camera connector kit?

You can use iPhoto for the import. iLife apps are integrated. From within iMovie you have direct access to iTunes for adding music, and iPhoto for photos and videos in the iPhoto library.
Or you can use the Image Capture application for the import if you prefer placing such imports into manually created folders and not using iPhoto.

Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.

If you bought Reader, you were swindled, because it's a free program. And it has never been able of converting PDF files to any other format.
