Move video dvd+menu to Mac to play it?

I have video dvd which I wish to move to my MacBook and so I can play it everywhere; of course I want to keep the interactive menu.
If I made dvd image I have to decompress image when I want to play file?!?
What tool and how to convert this dvd?

You are forgetting what I wrote: I want to keep the interactive menu.
My scope is to preserve a file copy of my dvd because this media is not eternal, I'm sure there is no protect otherwise I would not have published this article.
Handbrake doesn't keep menu structure during conversion process, but I think any ripping software is not able to do it so I thought a kind of image disk to play which keeps compression format with menu.
Some can help me?

HOW TO: Enable videos downloaded to my MAC to play on A-TV

I have several videos downloaded to my MAC's hard drive that I'd like to play through A-TV. Is this a situation where I'd have to transfer these files to iTunes in order to play them through A-TV? Can it be done by syncing the file with A-TV? How do I do these things?
I'm new to Apple-- be kind!!!

If you can play a movie in iTunes but you can't sync it or stream it to Apple TV, select the movie and then choose Advanced > Convert selection for Apple TV. This will create a new copy of the video in your iTunes library that is compatible with Apple TV.

How do i upload a video (dvd) to my mac?

I have a cd of a live performance of mine that I'm trying to save to my computer, however I can't figure out how to burn the disc on to my mac.

What format is the file that was burned onto the CD? You may need to contact whoever made it to find this out. Is it a regular disk that you can play in a stand alone DVD player? Also, I presume you have the rights to use the video, is that correct?

Poor movie/video playback from mini Mac (2010) to 50 " lg LCD tv

Hi I just got my new mini Mac 2010 release and have it set up running through my 50 inch full 1080p LCD LG tv.
It's running through a Belkin hd cable from mini Mac to the tv and get great quality from picture desktop on 1080p setting on the Mac.
However when ever I watch a DVD,movie from iTunes through front row the quality is terrible and get "blocky" picture in dark parts of the movie.
I love my new Mac but this is driving me crazy I have tried calibration and changing the settings on my tv.
Please any help with getting better quality playback from movies on my Mac as the picture is worse than an old vcr

Welcome to  Discussions!
Have you tried using DVD Player instead of Front Row to play the DVD?
I do hope you realize that a DVD is not HD quality. Because DVDs are lower resolution than your TV, when you play them full screen on your TV without an upscaling player they are not going to look as good as they did on your standard definition (SD) TV.

How do I burn Movies to DVD on New Macs with no DVD Drive?

I understand the new I Macs have no CD or DVD Drive. How do I burn my i Movies to a DVD?

Yes, you can use an external DVD burner, BUT:
even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
“when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
“You can still use it one all of your Macs. If you get an invalid certificdate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer. After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
“It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date. I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected. For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

Is it possible to rip dvds to my mac to play on my iPad?

I'd like to watch my dvds on my ipad while I'm on an airplane. Suggestions?

Most commercial DVDs are encrypted. In the U.S, breaking that encryption is illegal. It therefore contravenes the Terms of Use of these forums to discuss methods of breaking that encryption.
Handbrake is a great video conversion program but, on it's own, it won't rip encrypted DVDs.

How can I play a dvd on my Mac and display it through Apple TV

I want to use my DVD drive on my mac to play back movies through my apple tv2. I notice that on my iPad, iPhone, iTunes on my computer all have the AirPlay option to display the video on my TV through Apple TV. I do not want to burn my DVD onto my Mac and play through iTunes becasue its a hassle.

One thing you can do is to play the DVD in your Mac using DVD Player instead of iTunes, and then, turn on AirPlay Mirroring to stream your computer's display to your Apple TV > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
If your Mac isn't compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, use a third-party app like AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com This is the only option, because the Apple TV isn't compatible with discs
Logical but it won't work - DVD player output will be a grey checkerboard pattern.
Apple apps prevent Airplay of DVD content at low level presumably for some copy protection reason.
VLC player is believed to work.

DVD menu navigation in Front Row - HOW?

Just got my new iMac. When I start Front Row, insert a DVD and select "DVD" in Front Row, I select the menu.
Then what? The remote still controls volume only, front and back buttons do nothing. How do navigate the DVD menu and start playing the DVD?

Insert a DVD into your computer’s DVD drive.
Press the Menu button on your remote to open Front Row.
Use the Next and Previous buttons to choose DVD in the Front Row main menu, then press the Play/Pause button.
Use the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to navigate the Front Row DVD menu. You can play a DVD, turn muting on and off, display the DVD's menu, and eject the disc.
An alert message appears if you haven't inserted a DVD into your computer's DVD drive. (The message may also appear if your computer hasn't finished reading the disc you've inserted.)
While a movie is playing, use the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons to adjust the sound volume. Press the Next and Previous buttons to jump to the next or previous chapter. Press and hold Next and Previous to fast-forward and rewind. While a movie is paused, press the Next button to advance to the next frame of the movie. Press the Menu button to stop the DVD and return to the DVD menus. Press the Menu button again to go to the Front Row DVD menu.

Is there dvd software out there that allows you to create a dvd menu in which the viewer can choose to play different sequences of the videos offered?

Is there dvd software out there that allows you to create a dvd menu in which the viewer can choose to play different sequences of the videos offered? It was described to me as a dvd matrix menu but I can't find anything like it for mac. The idea is that there are multiple videos on the dvd menu and you can choose to play "video A, then B, then C" or "video B, then C, then A", etc, in different orders each time. And it would play the sequence that you choose.

I think that's on the right track but I'm wanting something that allows the viewer to choose the sequence when they're looking at the DVD menu. I only see how the creator of the DVD can make different sequences. It's a yoga tutorial DVD and we are wanting the viewer to be able to pick a sequence from the menu items as such: pick one of the 3 warm-up videos, then pick one of the 2 yoga practices and then pick 1 of the 3 cool-down videos and then the dvd will play the sequence of selected warm up, practice, then cool down. And it can be differently chosen every time the viewer uses the menu.
You can do this on a DVD with DVD Studio Pro.
DVD's have some very basic storage called SPRM/GPRM scripting IIRC.
There are a few tutorials around for DVDSP…
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/dvd_language_nattress.html
http://www.digitalproducer.com/article/DVD-Studio-Pro-Scripting-Part-4-28784
You use scripts to set values that are stored in a tiny amount of memory on the player & then have to use additional scripts to respond to the values set, so that at the end of a sequence it will jump to the one a user previously chosen.
Some things to consider…
DVD's have limits on the number of chapters & titles, you need to plan around that.
Some DVD players are terrible to navigate, the settings that a user selects will be forgotten when the player is powered off. Users will need to make the choices over & over, every time they use the DVD (computers may remember it - I haven't tested this in years).
You will also need to setup many variations of menus to be able to indicate what selections they chose.
It is not a trivial task, you may want to hire a programmer to set it all up.
Testing is also a lot of work - too many combinations can quickly cause issues for testing, different players can also do odd things too.
I have used scripting for basic, 'play all' or 'play chapter' menus where the video is encoded once on the DVD & the scripts will either play through, or simply play a chapter & return to the same menu.
You may find that it would be better to invest in setting up a website with this. On a custom site it would be possible for users to save a playlist or several, they can also share playlists etc, it would be more flexible & usable IMO.
See roaring apps for info on others who have used DVD Studio Pro with various OS's…
http://roaringapps.com/app/dvd-studio-pro …it looks like 10.8 may be the last OS to work correctly with DVDSP.
Other DVD authoring apps may be able to do GPRM scripting too, but you will have to search for them.
I think the registers are part of the DVD spec, so devices should support them, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video

My MOV videos do not play when I burn a DVD using iPhoto.

My MOV movies do not play when I burn a DVD using iPhoto. I can use the other method with my Mac to burn DVDs but the videos are not good quality like they are in my iPhoto albums. How can I get better quality in the DVD videos if I am unable to burn a DVD using iPhoto? I upgraded to the free Mavericks.

Hi
Most common origin to this are:
Brand of DVD used - NoName, Memorex etc cheap brands might work as Data-DVDs - BUT NOT as Video-DVDs
Type of DVD used - I only use SL-DVD-R as they also playback on older DVD-players. DVD+R for newer DVD-players. Never ever DVD+/-RW. Dual-Layers usually creates more problems than Single-Layers
BURN SPEED - Very IMPORTANT factor - I never go faster than x4 - Normally I use x2
Material used - Video Codec, Photo and Audio file formats
Video-Codec: StreamingDV, AIC and HDV (I use)
Photo: .jpg - NO .bmp or other - all converted to .jpg first
Audio: .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz (as on Audio-CDs) - NO .mp3, wma etc ailient formats - all converted to ..aiff 16-bit 48kHz or 44.1kHz first
Free Space: on Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard Disk - I never go less than 25Gb when doing Video-DVDs (for SD-Quality Video - if HD material is used 4-5 times more are a safe low level) (Other external Hard Disks - DO NOT COUNT as space here can not be addressed by Mac OS or iDVD for it’s massive use of .temp files)
Dusty DVD-burner Laser: I use a Cleaning DVD (no liquid but the one with brushes) from time to time.
Harmed DVD-burner Laser: Easy to do by burning more than three DVDs at a time - I let it rest for 30 minutes till next batch of three DVDs. If this happened - then only a costly repair will help. It will not heal by it self.
OBS: There are more than one Laser in the DVD-Burner so other functions might work OK as Playback CD/DVDs and even burn CDs. Still being broken.

Hello, i have a question. I've got one .mov video and one .mp4, both 3 minutes long. Now I want to burn them on one single dvd, and a menu (if possible) so i can choose between them. Is this possible?

I've got one .mov video and one .mp4, both 3 minutes long. Now I want to burn both of them on one single dvd, with a menu (if possible) so i can choose between them.
How can I do this?

You could use iMovie if you own it. Look here for an example...

I have my home movies on DVD from Windows. I am trying to import them into iMovie but it won't recognize the files. The movies will play on my Mac but I can't seem to import them.

HT1529 i want to watch my dvds on the television by playing them on my mac computer and using apple tv. hpw do i window share, or how do i import the movie to my iTunes?

I just got an apple tv and need helpin learning how to do the window sharing from my computer to the television. mirroring i think it is called. Additionally, how do i get dvds that i own into the itunes movie location so they will be 'selectable' on the tv? thanks for your feedback.

Ripping DVD's is not something that can be discussed here due to the legal rammifications.
If the Mac support AirPlay mirroring, simply play the DVD on the Mac and then use AirPlay to mirror the content to the ATV.
Honestly, a DVD player connected to the tv would be a simpler solution.

Movie files embedded in Powerpoint for Mac 2011 play audio, but only show black (no video).

I'm trying to embed a video in a presentation using Powerpoint for Mac 2011. It successfully imports the video, but when I try to play the video in the slide it only plays the audio and black (no video). I have tried .mov and .wmv files and neither works. I have Flip4Mac on the machine which is a MacBook Pro 15", if that makes any difference. The video in either format plays outside of the Powerpoint presentation and if I send the presentation to another MacBook Pro the video in the slide plays no problem. Anyone have any ideas other than not using a Microsoft product on a Mac?

I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as it's their software you're having issues with:

Botton video on menu gets pixelated and pulses when burt DVD is played back

Created a menu with buttons that contain video from the same asset it plays. They were HD mpegs that were converted to SD for the project. When viewed in simulator, everything looks fabulous. However, when I burn the disc and play it back on a laptop, the video in the button looks really compressed and has a weird pulse. Note-The target track plays fine. Can anyone help?
