Playing DVD content from HD

hey folks!
i have a question about playing DVD content from a hard disk. for an information kiosk system i have to create a menu and import from several dvds via mpeg streamclip.
the video content is about 14gigs. now i am not sure if dvd studio pro is capable of handling this amount of data. because it's build for making DVDs there could be problems if one exceeds the typical 9gig barrier?
the end result should be a video_ts folder that is played from a mini-pc…
thanks in advance for your help!
cheers.chris

In any case the editing should go faster with
the new computer which I ordered with 4GB RAM and two
500GB hard drives. Good luck.
Larry, Don't count on your editing going too much faster. I also have a MAC PRO Quad Core 2.66 with 3 gigs of ram and FCE still runs the same as it would on an imac. I hope someone can prove me wrong. I hope I am doing something wrong. You would think that by adding more power to your system it would have better NLE performance but for me that has not been the case. By that I mean it should do simple things like adding shadows and basic 3D movment without having to render the clips every little change you make. PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG... I Have Spent allot of money.. as we all have. Steve

  • Is there a file browser which can play DVD contents from Time Capsule?

    Using File Manager (free Zheng) app I can reach all my files on the Time Capsule (3TB) from my iPad Air2 (64GB). Also I am able to play video content MP4. So far so good.
    However I have also several DVD VOB files of homevideo. These I can play on my iMac using DVD player or VLC.
    Is there a way to play the DVD content just as easy as the MP4 files do on my iPad? Most file browser do not support this.
    I have read a solution to perform it via a server via my iMac. However this is not to my liking.
    Should it be possible to re-direct a file URL to lets say VLC player like Stratospherix filebrowser can do?
    Is there a good file browser which can play VOB DVD contents?
    Can anybody help me before buying several apps and perform the trial and error method ?

    I'd recommend File Explorer (orange icon on the iOS app store) - find your NAS with it and try and play your media. It has a video decoder built in so should be able to handle your MP4s. If not, Plex is very good - but would require £2.99 and your Mac to be on when you wanted to watch on your iPad. Let me know how you get on.

  • What DVD player to buy to play DVDs recorded from computer (AVI files)?

    Only DVD player I have that will play AVI files from DVDs recorded off the computer is my portable/car DVD player.  Is there a DVD player I can purchase to play these DVDs without using the portable DVD player?

    Look for something DivX certified.

  • Playing video content from external websites

    Hi
    I'm posting under QuickTime though I'm not 100% sure that this is the appropriate place. Please let me know if not.
    I was trying to watch a short video clip from a news site but when I clicked on Play Video the QuickTime icon appeared with a question mark watermarked in it. I have QuickTime installed so I don't know what this is trying to tell me.
    On a related issue, some external sites require RealPlayer to play videos. Although I also have RealPlayer installed and although sometimes these videos play, I do get a message from various sites saying something along the lines that the site has content with MIME and that I don't have the plug-in and therefore it can't play. On some of these sites it then says to download RealPlayer.
    I'm not really up to speed on videos etc and so would welcome any advice. I always thought that my Mac would play most things.
    thanks for your time

    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
    Now repair permissions and restart.
    The world should now be your oyster!
    You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

  • PLAY DVD MOVIE FROM MACBOOK PRO TO APPLE TV

    HOW CAN I PLAY A DVD MOVIE ON MY MACBOOK PRO AND MIRROR IT MY APPLE TV.

    Native mirroring requires a recent Mac (2011 or later) running 10.8
    Older hardware can use 3rd party options like Airparrot
    The native DVD player is blocked from mirroring but VLC should work

  • Playing DVDs created from Mac the Ripper...workflow?

    I've used Mac the Ripper to copy a DVD I have. What is the workflow on how to make that file folder that has Audio_TS and Video_TS (created from Mac the Ripper) onto another DVD AND make it self-play once it gets inserted into the player?
    Thanks!

    If you have rights/permission to copy the DVD, make a Disc Image then burn another copy from the Finder.
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/making_dvdcopies.html
    Or, if the original disc isn't set for the track to be the "first play," you can use MPEG Streamclip to demux the audio and video, then use those files as assets in a new DVD-SP project for reauthoring.
    Either way, I would not recommend using Mac the Ripper.

    Go to Adobe.com........
    If you can see their site...it about 99.9%, you have the flash plug-in...But, for lack of doing anything else... re-install the flash plug-in...At one point in installing the plug-in, make sure you close out all bowsers.....

  • I can't burn or play DVD's from macbook pro

    I'm trying to play a commercial DVD and the "DVD player" app crashes, and VLC won't play either. Also I cannot burn any DVDs via Toast either. I am running OS X 10.8.2 on a macbook pro. I am assuming my DVD drive has an issue, so is there a way I can reset its settings, or test it, etc. ?

    Ok same thing goes then. It seems with this latest update something has been broken with the DVD player App on Some Mac computers.
    Only option is to Wipe and Reinstall clean.
    You can take it to an Apple Genius Bar and show them what the problem is they may have a fix. But first make sure you back up all your personal files as there fix may be to wipe the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Why do I see a black box when playing video content from yahoo?

    If there is an article that includes video I can't see it. I can hear the audio, but I only see a black box. If I place my mouse over the progress bar I can also see the small screen with the preview with the actual picture of the video.
    Thanks,
    Adris

    Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
    Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
    Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.
    Great to have the Video back

  • Mac Mini Slow playing DVD from Network

    Hi,
    I was just wondering is anyone else has experienced slow dvd play with their mac mini's.
    Playing from the SuperDrive (dvd player) or Firewire DVD player is NOT a problem. however I have a couple of backed up DVD on a LACIE network drive using CIFS or AFP(Gigabit although my mini is 100FD) and on a Linux server (NFS mount)and the DVD's will not play smoothly.
    They are very choppy and unwatchable. I have also tried using VLC but that is even worse.
    I 1gb Ram in my mini, I also had this problem under os X 10.4 as well as 10.5. I know that apple say that an intel processor 1.6 is needed for interlacing, but just playing should be fine.
    My Suse Linux IBM T42 which is old has no problems playing the movies, but I want to play them on a 23inch Monitor. (the problem also occurs on my 19inch Monitor)
    CPU wise. it never gets to 100% but when it goes over 70% the problem seems to occur.
    I have tried to shut down all possible applications and disabled spotlight. this improved the playing experience a little.
    Any thoughts on this would be great.
    Thanks

    HI,
    The local disk is about 40% full, I upgraded it to a 160GB drive. (plus leopard was therefore a complete fresh install on a new drive)
    If I play the files from the local drive then there is no problem. I also noticed that if I use a local USB to play the movies then this works. But when you only have 2 x usb ports on a mac mini, and the fact I don't want my mini to have control over the disks (so the mini can be turned off etc) as my house mate also has a mac and would like to stream music and I like to have access from my Linux Laptop.
    I also noticed that the Mac Mini was very slow at accessing my NFS mount.
    I have also done the normal network tests such as forcing Full Duplex 100mb or allowing Auto etc. (also my house mate has the same problem using Mac book pro with a wireless connection) The switch is not busy at all, and until two days ago the only two devices turned on were the Mac mini and the lacie drive
    It is very frustrating, I want to upgrade to an iMac next month, but would have like to keep the mini as a media player. I like front row and dvd player they rock as applications. (except for the current issues I am having)
    My switch is definitely up to the task. I got a netgear. When my laptop and server (old P4 PC running Linux) are plugged in they are fine with streaming and copying files.
    I do notice that the Samba protocol on apple seems quite an 'expensive' over head with resources, but it still seems to work better than AFP. (from my Lacie drive)
    I have a suspicion that the problem is a mixture of DVDplayer that was not designed to play dvd's from the network and maybe the protocol stack on OS X? I guess the next stage is to sniff the network and see if packets are getting dropped.
    Thanks for any pointers so far.

  • Windows Media Player 12 under Win 7 Pro 64 nolonger able to play DVD

    Hello TechNet
    "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card.  Try installing an updated driver for your video card." 
    It seems that I have recently joined the chorus of MS users who have a Media Player DRM issue, where DVD's that would work perfectly well in WMP12 and MCE are nolonger being recognised. The error message above is displayed now, every time a commercial DVD
    movie is inserted into the DVD drive where WIN 7 Pro 64 autoplay is used to open WMP12, The instruction to update video drivers is also not the solution.
    Considering that I have until recently, been able to play DVD with my current NVIDIA driver 314.22Whql (now updated to 332.21Whql) and my DVD drive remains exactly as before, the Codec's installed with Win7 Pro 64 WMP 12 are unchanged and were working
    fine. I do not know now what has caused the removal of DRM or the suggestion that my MPEG2 codecs can nolonger allow access to  commercial DVD content.
    I have tried all the suggestions raised about this issue from other MS users and MPV's in the forum, I have renamed the DRM folder and reset Windows Media DRM as directed. I have checked for a suitable MPEG2 codec/decoder on my system of which I have
    several choices, including the one installed with Win 7 Pro 64 / WMP 12.
    I have checked to see if I have a region issue with my DVD drive, and can confirm that the DVD drive will play DVD content when Playing DVD with "NERO 9 Showtime", this proves to me that the codec/DVD decoder is working in
    my system, I then try Win 7s MCE (Media Center) and WMP12, the result is a black unresponsive screen in MCE, and the error message noted above in WMP with a black screen in the player.   
    I would like to know if MS are working on a rectification for the issue, as none of the proposed solutions deliver any functionality back to MS default DVD players. Is there an update in the works to provide a definitive solution for WMP12 and MCE DVD functionality.
    Could you provide any new ideas, other than those already proposed to regain DVD function under MS default DVD programs.
    Cheers Jeff

    Hi Sengupta,
    Yes I have already tried - Reset DRM using the method described in a post by another MS MPV here in the forum.
    This is the method I used :
    1. First open My Computer go to Tools>FolderOptions>View> uncheck >Hide Protected Operating System Files >
    so that I can see the DRM folder and its contents.
    2. Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\DRM  >Delete the contents of the DRM folder, these hidden files and the Cache folder with its contents. (Cache,
    blackbox.bin, drmstore.hds, IndivBox.key,
    IndivBox_64.key, v2ksndv.bla, v3ks.bla,
    v3ks.sec) DRM folder empty ready for DRM Reset via web link.
    3. Go to start menu Find InternetExplorer > right Click icon select > Run as Administrator > Blank Web page opens > I then paste the link provided (http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp)
    into the Url space > click Enter > a web page for Windows Media Technologies (Security Component Upgrade) opens.
    4. I then click on the 'Upgrade Button' and wait for it to search for upgrade components (Progress Status: Upgrading security components.... ), A download dialog then appears asking me to proceed. I then click 'Upgrade' and wait for it to
    finish downloading & installation
    (Progress Bar). . The install then completes saying the upgrade was successful I then click 'Done' close Browser and restart Computer.
    5. I then recheck inside the DRM folder that I had erased - the new downloaded files and Cache Folder with contents are all back inside the folder, as expected. 
    6. Upon restart I place a DVD that I know was working before into the DVD drive and wait, the DVD autostarts WMP12 with the onscreen DVD Disk navigation menu appearing. I then click 'Play' with in the menu option, to begin the
    Movie.
    7. The resulting error reappears when clicking Play
    "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder,
    and video card.  Try installing an updated driver for your video card." 
    I will try once more to Reset the DRM using the Tool you have linked to, and follow your instruction exactly. Will see how it goes!  ............stay tuned
    It would be much appreciated If you could research  which MS update has broken DRM, the recent updates which I can think of right now would be :
    nVidia - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3, Other hardware - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275
    now replaced by Nvidia v332.21Whql Drivers. 
    Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 for x64-based Systems
    Possibly,
    Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 64bit ( which I have had to remove, rolling back to IE10 to allow use in another Forum without errors and glitches). something about IE11 Browser is not right, maybe a security component from IE11
    has interfered with DRM (Just guessing though)
    But I think it is more than likely a security update that was downloaded and installed at the same time as these other major Microsoft Update offerings.
    Cheers Jeff

  • IPod says "No Content" in music, and suddenly I can only play that content through iTunes on my computer...

    Can anyone help me?
    I have been having terrible problems with my i-Pod Touch. I have very slow internet (often only 2 or 3 kb per second) but Apple seems to demand I do countless time-consuming updates. For this reason I haven't been able to update my iPod to iOS5........I have also had the whole run of errors when I connect my iPod to iTunes to update anything. I have had Error 13109, 5826, 1604 and 3194....but all of that hasn't bothered me too much as I manage to transfer music from CDs or computer files (podcasts from non-iTunes sources) and that's all I need.
    All of a sudden yesterday, whilst continually giving me the error 13109 message, my iPod said I have no content in the music library. However, when I plug in the iPod to my computer and switch on iTunes I can see those songs are still there, and indeed I can play them. Until this morning I was able to play that content from my iPod through my loudspeakers that have an iPod dock - completely unconnected to my computer.
    It just means that I can't play those songs when I am anywhere except connected to my computer - and that's not really the point of having an iPod is it?
    Is anyone able to help me?
    By the way, I should like to say that I am very new to i-Pods, and I already think it is absurd that a customer should be constantly obliged to update everything, and when things go wrong visit all manner of websites (and Apple Support Communities!) to hunt for solutions, and then spend hours and hours going into the belly of my computer, making changes, downloaded, syncing, re-booting and goodness knows what else to just try to get the product to do what the manufacturer said it would do when I bought it, without telling me anything about all this other hassle. I think it is shocking, or have I just been sold the only lemon in the orchard? I bought it in Mozambique and live in Zimbabwe - and none of these places offer support services.
    tks for nay advice or commiseration you may be able to offer.........
    Nick (aged 50, and ignorant).

    OK guys...no need to reply....I am resigned to never getting to the bottom of the syncing problem....I just go from 13109 to other error codes, downloading little umbrellas, putting th eipod in DWI mode (or something like that), restoring, getting anew error code, not being able to download updates etc. etc. - so I lost my patience with sitting in front of my computer trying to fix something I paid nearly usd 800 for (in my opinion the manufacturer should make it properly in the first place, or warn you about its faults before you buy)............
    I synced my iPod to the computer, lost all my content ans restored only witrh what I had on this computer's iTunes - thus losing the countless CDs and vinyl I had converted to digital on my other ocmputer at home in Mozambique, which my current iTunes says it can't locate.
    Am I really the only person who prefers to listen to music instead of spending hours and hours on the computer trying to fix this useless machne?
    I wish I had never wasted my money on this thing. I guess it's just inappropriate and too sophisticated for where I live and for my simple needs (wi-fi and music only).
    Very big thumbs down from this novice for the iPod Touch and for the iTunes way of doing things in general.......

  • DVD's from my ipod through the Clarion VRX755VD ????

    I'm really curious as to whether or not i will be able to play dvd's from an ipod through an indash dvd unit in my car. The unit in question is a Clarion VRX755VD http://www.clarion.com/usa/products/multimedia/VRX755VD.html
    Anyone whom could provide any information regarding this matter it would be appreciated.
    cheers

    According to the Clarion spec, it can take an AV input, with an addition cable that you can purchase for the Ipod video, this should work, it's like attaching your Ipod to view movies on your regular tv.

  • My Apple TV freezes when playing HD content

    My Apple TV freezes when playing HD content from my iTunes account via Home Share, it does not do it with SD programmes, do I need a better Wi-Fi connection?  Would Airport Express help?

    When does it pause? Every few minutes or much later?
    All HD titles or just some at specific points?
    Try playing something - pause it immediately and let the blue bar fill a fair bit before playing - does that then play ok?

  • Authorising computers to play content from iTunes Store...

    I've recently started downloading films, tv shows and the odd album from the iTunes store. I've spent about $200 in the last while, and it's a great service. Something crossed my mind last night...
    I'm currently using my macbook pro to download content, and then I either play it on my macbook or transfer it to my apple tv. All working fine...
    Now, I've decided that I'm going to get a mac mini to use as a media server. I'm going to use it to play dvds, hook an elgato eyetv up to it to record tv, rip my dvd library, and finally I'm going to be able to free up my macbook pro from downloading content and ripping dvds. I'm then going to transfer my apple tv to the bedroom and the mac mini will take it's place in the living room.
    What crossed my mind was, when I set up this server that will make 2 computers that I will need to authorise, my girlfriend's laptop makes 3. I'm not entirely sure if the apple tv counts as one authorisation but it probably does so that makes 4. What happens when I update one of these computers...say get a new macbook pro... then in a couple of years I upgrade the mac mini and maybe get a mac pro too?? I'm going to lose all my content eventually.
    My question 2 questions are:
    1) Can I de-authorise a computer and replace it with another computer?
    or
    2) Do you think after X number of years, apple will unlock old content so that it will play on other computers?
    I hope I can de-authorise computers, otherwise I'll be stuck with these computers if I want to keep this content... I'm now seriously thinking about stopping using the iTunes store. It just seems criminal to spend so much cash on stuff that isn't going to work in a couple of years...

    Hi,
    From iTunes, click Store, then Deauthorize Computer...
    Steve Jobs did announce that they will update iTunes store such that you would have the choice of buying licensed music (i.e. restricted to authorised computers) and license less music (no restrictions).
    The snag was, you would have to pay more for license less music (but, at least you would have the choice).
    Read more about it at http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/04/02itunes.html
    Now, if you find anything that could help me update my iPod firmware, I would be most grateful....
    I hope this answers your questions...
