Playing VIDEO_TS files without a DVD drive.

Hellp,
Im looking for a way to play my ripped (with mac the ripper) DVD VIDEO_TS files. I know that you can do this through the mac DVD player, but my ibook doesn't have a DVD drive, so the player will not start. I ripped the files onto my G4 Tower and wish to read them from an external HD. How do i get around DVD player needing a DVD drive? other than getting a noew CD-Drive that can read DVD's, what are my oprions? thanks

You could hook it up to the G4 via FireWire Target Disk Mode, but I'm guessing that's not the solution for what you want to do?
You could get an external drive that will read DVD's.
You can burn the DVD's to multiple CD's so they will play in the iBook (maybe, assuming the files are compatible with software on the iBook).
There is no way to make DVD player play DVD's without a DVD player. Sorry.

  • DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files from my hard drive

    When logged into my home account DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files that are on my hard drive. I get an error message: "there was a problem opening the media. Media type is not supported." When logged in as "root" DVD player does play these same files. Also, when logged in to my home account, I can play these same files in VLC.

    Go this this thread for more details:

    But the gist of the fix is to delete or rename "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist" and let the DVD Player build a new one. It seems that this is caused by a migrated PPC preference that borks DVD Player 5 on Intel Macs, which is what just happened to me. Hope this helps.

  • Flash CS6 cant open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?

    Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
    I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.

    What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
    Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
    Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through.  I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
    Now I can't even do that.  So what then?  You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
    And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content.  The error it pops up?  That's simply another method of error checking that I require.  Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
    Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways?  It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much?

    I need to install software on a computer without a dvd drive.  Where can I find the download for the student edition?

    Perhaps you can copy it using a different computer, from the disk to a USB key.
    However, external DVD drives are cheap and in my view essential.

  • How do I install 10.4 onto a computer without a DVD drive?

    Can I put the DVD into a different Mac with a DVD drive, grab the software off the disk, transfer it to the mac without a DVD drive and install from there? Thanks,

    I found a way to do it from an iPod, but I dont want to do that. I have an external Firewire HD that I use for our backup drive but I dont want to whipe that.. although, I use that external drive as my boot drive on the older machine, so I guess I can just hook that external HD to our new Mac, pop in the DVD, reboot the new machine and boot off the DVD and then upgrade the older OS on the firewire. What do you think?

  • Registry edit Apple requires is causing windows to not detect files on the DVD drive

    Registry edit Apple requires is causing windows to not detect files on the DVD drive. If I set up the registry it requires then the files will not be dected & if I do it the way windows requires then the files will be detected but ITunes will not be able to use the optical drive. Is there any kind of patch or something someone can help me with?

  • HP Pavilion Laptop G6000 - Format without working DVD drive

    I have a HP Pavilion Laptop from the G6000 series which I bought about 3 years ago and has worked brilliantly until recently when the DVD drive was no longer recognised, after trying a number of online suggestions to fix it it was not showing up in the registry and so I decided to give up and I bought a usb drive which has been fine so far.  However, It has not been formatted since I bought it and is getting rather slow and I have managed to aquire a pop up / virus thing called click potato which is slowing it down further.  I want to format it and have all my files backed up on an external hard drive but without a working CD drive will it be possible to reboot (I've been told it wont recognise the USB one in this state? 
    I also don't have the original boot disks it came with but it has a "recovery" partition built in.  Is there anyway I can format and reinstall windows without this working equipment?
    Thanks

  • Cannot Read Files off CD/DVD Drive

    I realize there are several similarly titled posts on this topic, but I have not found the problem I have.  Computer: Pavilion tx2000CTO.  O/S:  Vista Home Premium (all updates current). 
    Issue:  Some CD's and DVD's cannot be read completely.  I CAN navigate the directory structure.  I CAN see the files.  I CANNOT open them.  When I attempt to open from the DVD drive, nothing happens.  No errors or other messages.  When I attempt to copy to the HDD, I get the error "cannot read from the source file or disk".  This does not happen on all disks, but I cannot find any pattern between when i can or cannot read.  All of these disks are readable on other systems.
    Note:  similar for media files or disks.  Some readable, some not.
    Thanks for your help!

    I mean raw format, though you mean your disc is mounted, however you can't read the files on the disc?

  • Satellite L300-19U - How can I reinstall Vista without working DVD drive?

    Hello
    I have a big problem with my notebook Toshiba Satellite L300-19U.
    I did installed 1month ago Windows XP on it and now is my DVD-ROM broken, it didn't read DVD just CD's. So I can't use my Vista recovery DVD to reinstall Vista. Did anyone had the same problem?
    I heard there is a partition (hiden) where the recovery is on it. How I can find this partition? And if I find her, can I boot directly from the partition to recover Vista? If no,is there a other chance to recover it?
    Please help me to reinstall the Vista recovery partition!

    Hi!
    The hidden partition that you mean is a Windows Vista feature but you cant restore Vista with this partition. The point is that the partition is also deleted because you have installed Windows XP on it.
    Restoring Vista without recovery disk is only possible if Vista is still installed on it. Then you can go in the advanced boot menu and select repair my computer. Then you can choose the Toshiba HDD recovery option. This is a feature that restores Vista from the second partition.
    But as I said only possible with installed Vista.
    Just one question: Why do you dont go to an authorized service provider? If your notebook is still under warranty you should get a new CD/DVD drive for free. Normally it should only take few days and then you are able to install Vista again! :)

  • How do I Install 10.4 on a G4 without a DVD drive

    I have a G5 (10.5.8) and an older G4 still running 9. I would like to install 10.4 on the G4. However, It has no DVD drive. The system installation discs I have are the are the " black" version. I tried to buy a DVD burner, but the closest I can come is a DVD R/W with a 10.3 system requirement.
    Some thoughts:
    - Can I put the install discs on my G5 and target the G4 through the ethernet connection I share with it as the installation destination. If so, how is this done.
    - Can I get a CD version of the installation discs ( hopefully without paying for it again)
    - Can I copy the discs to Cd on my G5 and would they be useable
    Anyone have any ideas
    Thanks

    Can I put the install discs on my G5 and target the G4 through the ethernet connection I share with it as the installation destination. If so, how is this done.
    Close, put the Install Disc in the G5, boot the G5 in to Target mode...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    Boot the G4 with the Option key held down, see if the Install Disc in the other Mac shows up as a boot choice, as the G5 is now a big expensive Firewire Disk & DVD Drive.
    Can I get a CD version of the installation discs ( hopefully without paying for it again)
    Nope.
    Can I copy the discs to Cd on my G5 and would they be useable
    Nope.

    Put the disk in a computer that does have a CD/DVD player and copy them over a network (if possible) or to a USB thumb drive.
    That, or buy yourself an external USB DVD drive.

  • How to install Leopard without working DVD-drive?

    I have a MacBook Pro 3,1 (A1226) without a working DVD-drive and I would like to replace the existing 80Gb drive with a 320Gb drive. The hardware is no problem, I did that a few times already, but how to get the OS working?
    I have an TimeMachine backup on a USB-disk of the 10.5.8 (9L31a) installed system. I do not wish to upgrade because there is some old licensed software on it that does not work with a newer OS.
    I also have another MacBook Pro (with 10.7.5) I could hook up with an Ethernet-cable. Theoretically even with a Firewire cable I do not have right now. But when I buy extra things I should perhaps better get an external hard disk enclosure for the 320Gb?
    Please advice.

    Am gonna solve it in another way. I will just get a so-called "9.5 mm PATA Optical Bay SATA Hard Drive Enclosure" and put the 320Gb drive in that one. Sorry to have distracted you.
