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.

  • Why can't I stream quicktime movie clips from mac book to apple tv

    I have converted old analog camcorder video to .dv format and futher to .mov when opening and viewing in QuickTime.  I recently purchased a new 1020 Apple TV device in hopes of viewing these movies in a wireless fashion on our Samsung Smart big screen TV.  I am able to play these movies through a Lightning to HDMI adaptor, however, I am having no success in streaming these movies through AirPlay.  The files appear to be too large to load and play.  What to do? Thanks in advance, Jon

    I suspect there isn't any need to convert from the QuickTime format. The Apple TV is quite capable of playing QuickTime movies, just not all of them. QuickTime movies (.mov) come in many shapes and sizes but have one thing in common, "the container", the container holds all the various types of video, audio and sometimes some other stuff.
    Providing the contents of the container can be played by the Apple TV, the Apple TV will play the QuickTime movie. The audio profile, dimensions, data rate and video codec as posted by the OP are all compatible with the Apple TV.
    .mov containers containing contents that can't be played by the Apple TV, can't be played by the Apple TV. The file in the page you linked to contains video that uses the 3ivx codec which is why it needs converting.
    The OP's issue is either that the file is corrupt or that they have a problem on their network, hence why we need to ascertain whether the Apple TV will play content that we know should work.

  • Can I download a song or audio clip from a commercial DVD? (and how?)

    I don't even know if this is the right forum but I've tried searching in iTunes & iDVD and can't find the answer.
    Is it possible to download a short section of audio, a song for example, from a DVD of a mainstream Hollywood movie? If so, how? Can I save it in iTunes so that I can listen on my iPod?
    Sorry if you're offended by such a basic question.
    Mike

    No.
    Commercial DVD's are encrypted to prevent just such a thing.
    It is ILLEGAL to break this encryption.

  • 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...

  • How do I move clips from one Event to another?

    How do I move clips from one Event to another?
    As soon as I got the new iMovie, I started importing clips and making video's. Unfortunately, I hadn't fully understood the Events feature, so all of my clips are in a single "New Event" Event. I have now created several other Events and named them properly and would like to sort all of my clips into their proper "Event" folders. How do you do that?

    Ahh, Ok. I actually had to go to Lynda.com to watch a training video of this highly bassackwards maneuver, but now I have it. In other words, while the intuitive thing is to make a new event to hold the clip you want and then open the old event and drag the clip into it's new event, the only way to accomplish this maneuver is to NOT create a new event, but rather, go to the clip AFTER the one you want to move, select it and then Right-Click on it and select SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP (or go to FILE>SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP). Then you wait a few seconds while the program thinks a bit (no feedback it is doing this - just a pause) and then it automatically creates a new event with the clip you wanted. Now just double-click the new event and name it something meaningful.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Trouble Copying and pasting a movie clip from another flash scene

    Hello,
    I have been trying to copy a movie clip from the library of one flash and paste it into the library of another.  But when I do this, it always gives me, "One or more library items already exist in the document.
    I have tried finding and renaming those items, renaming the existing movie clip, and even changing it into a graphic instead.  Still it always replaces these certain movie clips in my main flash file.
    I even tried the following:
    Creating a new movie clip in the new file.  Then going into the movie clip of the other file I wish to copy over, and trying to copy its frames and put it into the new movie clip i created in the main file.  Even then, it says I'm replacing library items!
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks

    The easiest way to be sure you are renaming everything is to probably to copy the movieclip into a new empty file's library and then rename each symbol in there.  Unless I am missing something, when you do that, each isolatable symbol inside that movieclip will appear as a separate symbol in the library, making it easier to be sure you have renamed them all.

  • Importing movie clips from internet

    I am trying to import some movie clips from the internet. Any suggestions? I tried saving on MAC HD and adding to iSquint, but when I import into iMovie, there isn't anything there. I have the same problem when I try to import clips from a movie (not video, a real movie) I have saved in iTunes. Any suggestions there?

    Try this great free, open source software.
    You can get it from the site or from Apple downloads.
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Run MPEG Streaqmclip.
    Click File > Open URL.
    Copy/Paste the URL of the video into the box.
    Click on File > Export to QuickTime.
    Use 'Apple Intermediate Codec'.
    Convert the movie and save to a folder on your desktop.
    Open iMovie and click File > Import Movies...
    Navigate to the folder.
    Create a new event, name it and import.

  • Error -2002 when importing quicktime movie clips into iMovie Project

    When I import QuickTime movie clips into my project, the scroll bar fills about 1/3 of the way, and then I get this message:
    Can't open file "DSCN0812.MOV"; skipping it and continuing. I CLICK "OK," and then this message appears:
    Error during import
    The file could not be imported: (-2002)
    This happens to every movie clip. Anyone have any idea what's happening here?
    Thanks!

    I guess, you try to import 'moving images' from a still cam, right? these are in a codec (=mov is no format, just a container) , iM doesn't support. Use the free tool *Mpeg Streamclip* www.squared5.com to convert these files to 'dv stream' BEFORE importing to iMovie.

  • Import home movie clips from DVD

    Hi all -
    I've been trying to wrap my non-computer brain around the process of importing a previously burned home movie clip from DVD back into iMovie so I can add to it. (I messed up the first burn, but because of limited space, I deleted the original clip.)
    I'd be happy to get it back to tape on my camcorder if that is the only way to do it, but I fear losing quality.
    I've downloaded Mac the Ripper and Streamclip, but I don't want to pay extra money for any software (I'm a poor, starving student mom).
    Can anyone help out?
    Christine.

    Your burned DVD uses MPEG-2 file format. You'll need more software:
    MPEG Streamclip (free).
    Apple's MPEG-2 PLayback Component ($20).
    Use Streamclip to open the DVD contents and export to DV Stream (huge file). Use the .dv file in iMovie.

  • Unable to Sync Quicktime Movie Clips with IPOD

    I am a new ipod user having difficulty syncing Quicktime movie clips to IPOD.
    Clips are saved as .mov files and Itunes will play.
    However I cannot get them to sync woth IPOD.
    Any ideas - Do I need to convert to annother format?

    First you need to import your movies into iTunes. Do this by opening iTunes <File> <Import> <Movies> then choose the movie you want to put on your iPod. Make sure the movie has .mov at the end otherwise it won't be set up the way it's supposed to be.
    Once the movie is imported into iTunes right click on it so a pull down menu appears. Click on <Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone>. It should begin converting it on its own and when it's done you'll hear the typical sound that happens after importing a cd, telling you the operation is complete.
    After it's converted, you will have 2 identical movies in your menu. If you <Get Info> on each, you should be able to see which is newest version; that is the movie you are going to want to sync.
    Then plug your iPod in to iTunes, go to the movie tab in iPod summary and check off the converted movies you want to sync to your iPod. Press <Sync> and that should add your movies to your iPod.
    Hope this helps.

  • I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore

    I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore from an HDV camera that play on other macs and play in vlc. It happened all of a sudden. Files that I could play before no longer play. It seems to be something wrong with the quicktime codec management because the files do not play in premiere and final cut pro. In FCP it says: File Error: 1 File(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. These files work on other computers. I have four drives and it doesnt matter which file i attempt to open on each drive, these files are unreadable on this system. Please help. Possible issues might be a corrupted index, but i dont understand how that can go across four different drives.

    Apple kindly updated Quicktime and rendered Firestore files unplayable. I think a recent update of iTunes was the culprit.
    Solutions: What I did. Wipe the system disc. Re-install Snow Leopard. Re-install FCP7. Don't update Quicktime or iTunes to anything after Jun 2011. QT v7.6.6 is the last good version. That'll get your files back.
    A colleague tried a different approach. For this you need a pre-July 2011 version of the file QuickTimeComponents.component.  It is in the system/library/QuickTime folder. Delete your current one and drop in an old one.
    However if you're working with Final Cut X, I think you screwed until Focus and Apple work something out. My address is on my contacts page at teevideousadotcom if you need any further help.

    My desktop IMac OSX 10.6.8 : IMovie '11: Trying to upload a home movie clip from my Panosonic camera model PV-DV203D. I've had this camera several years, and used it with Windows desktop. Now trying to work with my Mac. I have a USB cable, both ends fit, but iMovie '11 does not recognize it. Is there a driver fix for this?

    What kind of Mac to you have?  This camera is a tape based DV one that connects best with firewire and I cannot tell if your Mac has firewire.  If your mac *does* have firewire, get a camcorder firewire cable and try again.
    ETA:  Oops, I am pretty sure that all the "desktop iMacs" have firewire, so you should be good to go.  You will probably need a cord that goes from FW800 to your camcorder.

    I am trying to move across & view my home movie clips from my old PC to my new Mac but I am unsure what software I need to view them.  They are from a Canon video camera originally.  Please advise how this is done!

    Do they have a file extension?
    How about anything on the camera which might indicate what it is, like AVCHD?
