Question on reinstalling DVD media software on a Satellite A100-049

When I first ran the System Restore on my Toshiba laptop it put these two on but I can see no way to reinstall them without restoring the entire drive back to when I first bought it. I still have WinDVD installed but have removed Ulead (I forget the exact name of the DVD Media software) and cannot now re-install it.
Would Toshiba send me a proper installation CD for these?
Thanks

Thanks. I was thinking that.
There's nothing wrong with the actual disc as far as I'm aware. There just appears to be no obvious menu when you run it from Windows. It restores perfectly fine. I wasn't sure if Toshiba would send me "normal" CDs for this software. I'm not after anything more than I get anyway.

Cannot download full DVD Movie Factory version for Satellite A100 and clean Vista

Hi there
I made a clean Windows Vista orgianal upgrade set from Modus link.
Installed and now when a want to install the DVD Movie Factory patch (DMF5.51_Patch_18in1_for TOSHIBA_147.05_0718)
there is no dvd creator software installed and also no cd creator...
it saids "no earlyer DMF found" and is stop and exit intalling this patch.
Now i cann't get the dvd creator software on my Satelite A-100 ..
In my earlyer OS XP MCE had a.. DVD creator DMF from Ulead for toshiba (oem) and sonic cd creator
What can i try now?
Reagds Okky

The fact is that both applications are part of recovery image and these applications are available if you have factory settings only. They cannot be downloaded and installed additionally.
If you want to habe them again you must install OS again using Toshiba recovery DVD.

DVD drive model name of Satellite A100-192

what is exact model name of dvd drive on satellite a100-192?
can you please check it from device manager?

Try to download the user manual for this notebook.
The user manual you will find on the Toshiba page.
There you will find the drives which are delivered with the Satellite A100.
But you have to consider that it depends on the notebook which drive is installed.
The GMA-4082N should be a Hitachi-LG Data storage DVD super Mulit +-R Double layer

Satellite A100-049 with Vista - Win DVD will not play?

Just bought the above. All seems fine so far (but only had it 2 days) apart from when I try to play a region 2 dvd in the drive. I select WinDVD 8 and it gives the option to open from drive of folder. I select "f" being the drive and the disc spins up. No picture or sound though. The initial screen just stays on. (They will play in media centre so drive seems fine)
Cannot see any setting to change and the drive is set to region 2. Looking in the "getting started" it does say that for the final version of vista it "may" be necessary to download a patch but I cannot find one.
Any help appreciated

Hi
Do you try to play the original DVDs?
If your DVD drive was set to another region its possible that you will be not able to play such DVDs.
You can change the region code in the drive properties. But be careful; you can change it only 4 or 5 times (cannot remember)
But if you can play the movies with MCE so I dont think that you need to change the drive region code.
Did you try to install some codex? If not try it!!

Satellite A100-049: CDs and DVDs don't read after standby

I have a new satellite A100-049 that came with vista home premium pre-installed. After returning to the computer from sleep/standby (Whatever the mode is when the light pulses yellow) no discs can be read in the drive. The disc will spin continually but nothing will happen.
Everything works fine when the computer is turned on first time, but after sleep it stops reading discs. Is there anything I can do about this?

It doesn't recognize it when i re-insert it or put it in fresh after standby. It just keep spinning without loading. Wierd thing is, if i try to load a program with the disc spinning and by clicking on the desktop icon and then take the disc out while it isn't loading I get a message saying please insert disc

How to Reinstall Creative Media Player Software

October 2nd 2006
If your update for Creative Media Source, Creative Media Player, and any associated programming has corrupted your system and you need to reinstall the older version or reinstall any of it period this information is critical to avoid serious frustration. It took me four days to figure this out fully and it was HARD to figure out with NO thanks to Creative Technical support. If anything Creative OWES me for this information since they are too stupid to answer my questions with anything but canned answers. It was posts on the Creative forum and several searches in Yahoo and Google that helped lead me to the conclusion of this issue and I feel that you as a Creative customer are not going to like this at all but hey, I?m just the messenger so please don?t kill me! Word of warning! Formatting your hard dri've and reinstalling all your software is far easier than what I am about to instruct you but what I figured out does work and seems to be the ONLY way of really fixing this bug. This applies to the Audigy Z 2S Platinum and should apply to ALL Creative Software in this line of Creative Products.
What caused this in the first place:
I was happily running the supplied creative Media Player, Media Source Go! software with THX, Dolby, and the other features that came with my Audigy Z 2S Platinum. As a conscientious computer user I like to keep things up to date and like to keep my software updated so I went to the Creative site and performed the automatic updates. BIG, BIG mistake! I lost the Equalizer, THX, the Mixer, and everything BUT the most basic of applications to this sound card. The point of me buying it in the first place was the features. The updates stripped me of them. When I tried to reinstall the original software the problems began. When using the supplied installation disk and attempting to uninstall the software was problem one. Creative never had the forethought of supplying an accurate uninstallation feature so when you use the ?Add/ Remove Program? feature you do not get the junk that Creative hides in your file system much like trying to extract AOL Files (which gave me the inspiration for getting rid of the corrupted installation of Creative Software). Like AOL software Creative is extremely invasi've and hides in a number of places you would not even think to look in.
The Issues you will be facing and the associated Error messages:
Upon reinstallation of the old software after my first of many attempts at removing the old installation I began to get the following error messages upon startup of the Media Source software, ?Exception-Created Object:Exceptions:FactoryNotFound Message:?Invalid Factory in Created Object: AudioChannelMappingMSG? and ?PFX file missing or corrupted, application will now terminate?, and the last of your nightmare messages ?Device not found by application and application will now terminate?. If you get any of these messages you are screwed and face a serious uninstallation procedure to correct this. Thanks to this you should be able to fix it all and get your reinstallation to take properly.
Something to keep in mind and I only found out about this the day before I wrote this, Apple Quicktime 7 has a serious conflict issue with DemoShield and the removal process is the same for the Creative Software since uninstallation will not get Quicktime out either. Before you reinstall remove Quicktime 7 or you are going NOWHERE! Quicktime 6 does not appear to interfere with the installation. You will get the error message ?DemoShield has encountered a problem and needs to shut down? followed by the computer wanting to send an error report. This is a sure fire sign that Quicktime is interfering with the installation along with the file DEMO32.exe which will need to be deleted.
Another thing I need to mention is that you WILL need the following software or something similar to eliminate all traces of Creative software, Error Expert, RegEditXP, Directory Cleaner, and Find Dead Links. This software will get the impossible and hidden stuff you will not find or be able to get rid of otherwise.
Preparation for this task:
Kick on some music, smoke a FAT joint, drink a beer, or do both because this process is involved and frustrating! If you don?t drink or smoke or both than I hope God is with you because you will be cursing and swearing when something does not go right. Remember, I was at this for four days FULL TIME with minimal information to go on. Patience is a MUST or be ready to pay an expert a LOT of money to deal with this.
Now it begins:
NOTE: It should not be necessary to uninstall the Card itself. The software and not the PCI card is the issue and the drivers are not what cause the hanging reinstallation. I did at one time in the process of figuring this crap out pull the card but when I managed to fix the problem I had left the card in. Again it is NOT necessary to pull the Sound Blaster card from it'ss slot to effect the fix for the software.
NOTE: Should at any time in this extraction process you get the message ?Application cannot be removed? or ?Another application is using file and it cannot be removed? hit CONTROL/ALT/DELETE to open the Task Manager. Click APPLICATIONS and if Creative software is running click END TASK. You can then continue the extraction process.
: TRY to save all of your important media files in another directory (preferably in another dri've or partition. Another dri've is preferred) before you begin this so you don?t loose your music and video files to an accident, misunderstanding, or software association. Making a special holding folder with an easily recognizable name not having Creative in its name will help keep you from accidentally deleting these files in the event the search turns them up.
2: Go to the ?Add Remove Programs? in the control panel and remove all instances of Creative you can find. When that is done go to Run\msconfig and select ?Selecti've Starup? and UNCHECK ?Load Startup Items?.
3: Restart the computer. Now the fun begins. Put on your hunting hat, you are on digital safari!
4: When the computer starts up you will be notified by msconfig that changes have been made to the way the computer starts. Hit the red X and close the message and do the same for msconfig. You will see the prompt ?restart computer? or ?close without restarting?, select ?close without restarting?.
5: Open Windows Explorer, Start\Programs\Accessories\ Windows Explorer. The search feature here is a great help but for the moment get the obvious crap first.
6: In Windows Explorer click ?View? and select ?Show hidden files? in the selection menu window. This will allow you to get the stuff that regular uninstallation can't get at nor will a regular search reveal. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP DO NOT TRY TO WORK AROUND IT OTHERWISE YOU WILL FAIL EXTRACTING ALL THE JUNK!!!!!
7: Look for these three directories first:
C:\Documentsandsettings\USERNAME\StartMenu\Program s\Creative
C:\Documentsandsettings\Aministrator\StartMenu\Pro grams\Creative
C:\Documentsandsettings\USRNAME\Applications\Creat ive
Delete them!
8: Now go to the C:\Programs\Windows directory. This gets touchy. WORD OF WARNING TO NOVICE AND INTERMEDIATE COMPUTER USERS ALIKE (Experts should need no warning about this) BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT YOU DELETE HERE! THERE ARE FILES HERE CRITICAL TO THE OPERATION OF ALL OTHER APLICATIONS ESPECIALLY WINDOWS AND DELETING THE WRONG ONE WILL RESULT IN A COMPUTER THAT WILL NOT START! You can confirm who made the file by pointing at the file in question with your cursor and it should display the maker of the file.
You will be hunting any and all programs with the following beginnings, CT, SB, ct. The files beginning with ?ct? can either be Creative or Microsoft, CONFIRM EACH BEFORE YOU DELETE THEM.
The Windows files you will be looking in are:
C:\Programs\Windows\ime
C:\Programs\Windows\inf
C:\Programs\Windows\PIF
C:\Programs\Windows\prefetch
C:\Programs\Windows\Registration
C:\Programs\Windows\System
C:\Programs\Windows\System32
Lower down in the Explorer window you will find the following files that also need to be deleted:
C:\Programs\Windows\CTCCW.DLL
C:\Programs\Windows\CTDCRES.DLL
C:\Programs\Windows\CTDV0K.CDF
C:\Programs\Windows\CTDV0K2.CDF
C:\Programs\Windows\CTDVAUDY.CDF
C:\Programs\Windows\CTHELPER.EXE
C:\Programs\Windows\CTRegrun.exe
C:\Programs\Windows\CTRES.DLL
That gets the obvious and less obvious stuff out but the hunt is not over by a long shot.
9: This is where it begins to get complicated. In Windows Explorer you will be using the Search button.
Click Search and look for these files:
HKLM\Software\Creative Tech\Software Installed !!DELETE THIS FILE!!
Demo32.exe !!DELETE THIS FILE!!
Creative
SoundBlaster
{5CDDF96A-BC34-4D72-9ABA-EFFF0C39977} !!DELETE THIS FILE!!
AC3 !!Delete any and all files found associated with Creative. With the AC3 files MAKE SURE they are Creative file before deleting them. There are AC3 files unassociated with Creative and they will appear in your search. ATI uses AC3 decoders as well and you DON?T want to screw up an application that is not the problem.!!
THIS COMPLETES AS MUCH OF THE MANUAL EXTRACTION YOU CAN AS A USER GET TO WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF SOFTWARE.
0: Run Directory Cleaner and set it for Creative Audio and click CLEAN followed by setting it for Creative Audio Light and again Click CLEAN. Shut down Dri've Cleaner when you are done with this step.
: Run RegEditXP and fix all issues it finds and close it when it is done.
2: Open Error Expert and set it to Scan for Registry Errors. This gets the stuff RegEditXP misses. When it has found the problems it can select FIX.
3: While still in Error Expert select ADVANCED SYSTEM TOOLS and select STARTUP LIST MANAGER. Remove Creative from the list in any form you find it. Close Error Expert when done.
THIS COMPLETES THE REMOVEAL PROCESS FOR CLEARING YOUR COMPUTER OF CREATIVE SOFTWARE.
IF YOU HAVE QUICKTIME 7 IT HAS TO BE REMOVED DUE TO A COMFLICT WITH CREATIVE INSTALLATION SOFTWARE!
If you do not have Quicktime 7 then open msconfig, reset your computer to ?Normal Startup?, click ?Apply?, then close msconfig and restart. You can now reinstall your original software.
4: Removing Quicktime 7:
This sucks as well. Uninstalling Quicktime 7 from the ?Add/remove Programs? will not work. First make sure it is OFF. If it is acti've it will not be removable. Check with the task manager and in your system tray at the bottom right hand corner of your computer monitor. If you see the blue ?Q?, close it before beginning the extraction process or it will get very complicated.
Windows Explorer Search found all the files I needed to remove but like Creative reference all the same folders in C:\Programs\Windows as you did for removing the Creative Software and remove all references of Quicktime you find;
C:\Programs\Windows\ime
C:\Programs\Windows\inf
C:\Programs\Windows\PIF
C:\Programs\Windows\prefetch
C:\Programs\Windows\Registration
C:\Programs\Windows\System
C:\Programs\Windows\System32
Windows Explorer will lead you to other programs it hides in and the one file I could not remove under any and all circumstances was the one in C:\Programs\Adobe. That one reference will not interfere with anything so you can leave that one. Once you have removed Quicktime 7 go to msconfig and select ?Normal Startup? and restart your computer.
After your computer boots up fully slap the CD ROM in the dri've and it should begin to start up as if it was never installed in the first place. You will get the prompt to, ?Modify, Repair, or Uninstall? software. Uninstall is a joke since it does not work and it is unnecessary. There should be nothing to repair after all of this so I chose Modify. I now have the original software that worked right when I first got the Audigy Z 2S sound Card and it works fine. As a footnote to all of this I did get one error message when I restarted after the installation. It said ?cdrw32.dll missing? but it had no apparent effect on my computer. A subsequent reboot and the message never reappeared. I am not looking this any deeper than I have to since the message never reappeared and I suspect it had something to do with the reinstallation process of Creative Media Source and the media player.
The End!

Audio Console is included in the latest drivers, the easiest way to reinstall it is to reinstall the drivers but if you want to reinstall only the app, uncompress the drivers package with WinRAR and run the setup program from the AudCon Folder. If your X-Fi is OEM you may need to mod CL's drivers, or get a package from Dell that includes AudioConsole.

Trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit - setup.exe fails due to msxml3.dll error PDApp message [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154

If anyone is able to solve this they are a genius (or I am doing something very stupid!)
I am trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit PC but setup.exe fails due to a msxml3.dll error.
Following a big bundle of recent Windows 7 updates, I started getting 'bad image' msxml3.dll error messages when opening any CS5.5 master collection program (Eg Premiere / Photoshop / Illustrator / Dreamweaver). Following advice on some threads here I tried uninstalling and then using the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool to clean up install, then reinstalling from my original DVD media.
Whenever I try using run setup.exe from installtion disc 1 the installing fails due to 'Missing files'. I have also tried dowloading trial versions and runing setup.exe fro mthe downloaded files but i still get the same message.
I have searched the forum and others have experienced this error but none of the solutions I have found seem to be working for me - as many seem to relate to download installations whereas I am installing from original DVD media (which worked fine before on the same PC)
These are the FATAL messages from the PDApp log
12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154
12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Could not initialize ADXML object
12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Unable to initialize. Error parsing setup.xml file
The PDApp troubleshooting seems to indicate that this is caused by error in downloads but I am getting it with both original media DVD and downloads.
I have also tried using my logon (which has admin privileges) and under our main admin account - and I get the same errors.
Is a clean install of Windows 7 + CS5.5 my only option?
Any help / info / advice / solutions very much appreciated! I have spent the last 2 days trying to sort this out and seem to be getting nowhere.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply kglad - much appreciated.
I have already tried that option (along with downloading files) as it was one of the solutions mentioned on other threads, but that also failed.
Any other ideas?

Media MAnger uninstalls DVD burning software?

I just purchased my first Blackberry and find it very nice to use. Yesterday I installed the Desktop MAnager software and as part of that install Roxio Media Manager was installed with it. During the install process my Roxio CD and DVD Burning software was uninstalled. The Media Manager installation said it found an earlier version of the software and needed to uninstall it.
How do I install the desktop manager application without uninstalling my DVD burning software? Why would Blackberry design their installs to do this very terrible thing? It's uninstalling software that is not even used by the smartphone.

you want to install the Desktop Manager.
but what you really installed is "Desktop Manager" and "Roxio Media Manager". Since the installer of Roxio products is "not perfect", there are problems like the one you have experienced.
I suggest you to install your other Roxio software, then install the "Desktop Manager without Media Manager", which you have to download first.

Question about reinstalling software

I am needing to wipe my computer due to a nasty virus. So I will need to reinstall the iTunes software. I am wanting to find out if I need to burn my purchases in my library to cd or will I possibly be able to transfer them from my Ipod to my computer. Thank for any help.

Ipod video 5th generation Windows XP

Hey vbsams,
If it was me, I would backup all Music Store purchases
Sure, you could use the sync purchases feature of iTunes 7.x.x
See:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61131
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.0/en/2586x.html
But, it would be safer to backup purchases before going any further
Hope this helps,

I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac Pro

I have some questions regarding setting up a software RAID 0 on a Mac pro (early 2009).
These questions might seem stupid to many of you, but, as my last, in fact my one and only, computer before the Mac Pro was a IICX/4/80 running System 7.5, I am a complete novice regarding this particular matter.
A few days ago I installed a WD3000HLFS VelociRaptor 300GB in bay 1, and moved the original 640GB HD to bay 2. I now have 2 bootable internal drives, and currently I am using the VR300 as my startup disk. Instead of cloning from the original drive, I have reinstalled the Mac OS, and all my applications & software onto the VR300. Everything is backed up onto a WD SE II 2TB external drive, using Time Machine. The original 640GB has an eDrive partition, which was created some time ago using TechTool Pro 5.
The system will be used primarily for photo editing, digital imaging, and to produce colour prints up to A2 size. Some of the image files, from scanned imports of film negatives & transparencies, will be 40MB or larger. Next year I hope to buy a high resolution full frame digital SLR, which will also generate large files.
Currently I am using Apple's bundled iPhoto, Aperture 2, Photoshop Elements 8, Silverfast Ai, ColorMunki Photo, EZcolor and other applications/software. I will also be using Photoshop CS5, when it becomes available, and I will probably change over to Lightroom 3, which is currently in Beta, because I have had problems with Aperture, which, until recent upgrades (HD, RAM & graphics card) to my system, would not even load images for print. All I had was a blank preview page, and a constant, frozen "loading" message - the symbol underneath remained static, instead of revolving!
It is now possible to print images from within Aperture 2, but I am not happy with the colour fidelity, whereas it is possible to produce excellent, natural colour prints using its "minnow" sibling, iPhoto!
My intention is to buy another 3 VR300s to form a 4 drive Raid 0 array for optimum performance, and to store the original 640GB drive as an emergency bootable back-up. I would have ordered the additional VR300s already, but for the fact that there appears to have been a run on them, and currently they are out of stock at all, but the more expensive, UK resellers.
I should be most grateful to receive advice regarding the following questions:
QUESTION 1:
I have had a look at the RAID setting up facility in Disk Utility and it states: "To create a RAID set, drag disks or partitions into the list below".
If I install another 3 VR300s, can I drag all 4 of them into the "list below" box, without any risk of losing everything I have already installed on the existing VR300?
Or would I have to reinstall the OS, applications and software again?
I mention this, because one of the applications, Personal accountz, has a label on its CD wallet stating that the Licence Key can only be used once, and I have already used it when I installed it on the existing VR300.
QUESTION 2:
I understand that the failure of just one drive will result in all the data in a Raid 0 array being lost.
Does this mean that I would not be able to boot up from the 4 drive array in that scenario?
Even so, it would be worth the risk to gain the optimum performance provide by Raid 0 over the other RAID setup options, and, in addition to the SE II, I will probably back up all my image files onto a portable drive as an additional precaution.
QUESTION 3:
Is it possible to create an eDrive partition, using TechTool Pro 5, on the VR300 in bay !?
Or would this not be of any use anyway, in the event of a single drive failure?
QUESTION 4:
Would there be a significant increase in performance using a 4 x VR300 drive RAID 0 array, compared to only 2 or 3 drives?
QUESTION 5:
If I used a 3 x VR300 RAID 0 array, and installed either a cloned VR300 or the original 640GB HD in bay 4, and I left the Startup Disk in System Preferences unlocked, would the system boot up automatically from the 4th. drive in the event of a single drive failure in the 3 drive RAID 0 array which had been selected for startup?
Apologies if these seem stupid questions, but I am trying to determine the best option without foregoing optimum performance.

Well said.
Steps to set up RAID
Setting up a RAID array in Mac OS X is part of the installation process. This procedure assumes that you have already installed Mac OS 10.1 and the hard drive subsystem (two hard drives and a PCI controller card, for example) that RAID will be implemented on. Follow these steps:
1. Open Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities).
2. When the disks appear in the pane on the left, select the disks you wish to be in the array and drag them to the disk panel.
3. Choose Stripe or Mirror from the RAID Scheme pop-up menu.
4. Name the RAID set.
5. Choose a volume format. The size of the array will be automatically determined based on what you selected.
6. Click Create.
Recovering from a hard drive failure on a mirrored array
1. Open Disk Utility in (/Applications/Utilities).
2. Click the RAID tab. If an issue has occurred, a dialog box will appear that describes it.
3. If an issue with the disk is indicated, click Rebuild.
4. If Rebuild does not work, shut down the computer and replace the damaged hard disk.
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
6. Drag the icon of the new disk on top of that of the removed disk.
7. Click Rebuild.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2559
Drive A + B = VOLUME ONE
Drive C + D = VOLUME TWO
What you put on those volumes is of course up to you and easy to do.
A system really only needs to be backed up "as needed" like before you add or update or install anything.
/Users can be backed up hourly, daily, weekly schedule
Media files as needed.
Things that hurt performance:
Page outs
Spotlight - disable this for boot drive and 'scratch'
SCRATCH: Temporary space; erased between projects and steps.

Disk drives are the slowest component, so tackling that has always made sense. Easy way to make a difference. More RAM only if it will be of value and used. Same with more/faster processors, or graphic card.

Blackberry updates remove (uninstalls) Roxio Easy CD/DVD Burning software

Whenever I do a Blackberry Desktop update, my Roxio Easy CD/DVD Burning software is removed. The only part of the program left standing is the "Drag & Drop" portion.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Perfect. You got it exactly right with the media card. And if you like the media manager, stick with it. If it ain't broke......
I thought you wanted to get away from having to continually reinstalling the Easy Burn program, but if you have the disk and don't mind the process.....
Just my two cents worth. Keep coming back. Great place to pick up bits of information.

DDPE - External CD/DVD Media discovery

We are running 8.4.1.6372 of DDPE. When a CD/DVD is inserted into a USB connected drive for writing, DDPE does not detect the media to be encrypted. Has anyone else encountered this issue? USB thumbdrives detect just fine, it's only the CD/DVD media that is the issue. The Credant to Go module used to handle this, I do not see such a thing in DDPE...
Joe

Actually I have the same question. I’m looking for a good external DVD player that users KNOW works will with the IdeaTab Lynx K3011W (running 32-bit Windows 8).
I've had some trouble with the LG Slim Portable Blu-Ray Multi Drive (CP40NG10) working with my Lenovo IdeaTab Lynx K3011W. It's very intermittent (USUALLY works but not always) and I could not get the bundled Cyberlink software (thus free) to install. Some elements of the suite install but crucial items (like the DVD player) just "hang". I’m still hunting for a good DVD app and using trial versions to find one. I've updated drivers and firmware so that isn't the problem.
If I could find a more reliable DVD player I’d get it. I’d probably KEEP my current one (and use it on some other machine).

Do I need a dvd rip software to transfer clips over to Adobe

I have an odd question. I want to use Adobe Premiere Pro to make a special video for a friend but I need to take out clips from a few movie's and shows for this to happen. I didn't see anything on Adobe that can help so my guess is to use DVD ripping software like 'Handbrake' to rip what I need and then transfer the files to Adobe. Is this correct or is there another way?

miken
Thanks for the update.
Are we still discussing ripping DVD video files from a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc? If we are.....
When you
I tried loading a movie to Adobe Premiere Elements 12 through the ADD FILE but when I tried it took awhile to load and it looked like through the 'preview' video would play but no audio, and it looked like it didn't load the film
Did you specifically insert your DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc into the burner tray
Open Premiere Elements 12/12.1 to its Expert workspace
Used Add Media/"DVD camera and computer drive"/Video Importer....In the Video Importer dialog was the Source set to the drive into which the DVD disc was inserted?
If so, did you see there at least the thumbnail for VTS_01_1.VOB file.
You should be using only the DVD video files...starting with VTS_01_1.VOB. Depending on the duration of the content on the disc, you may have a series of DVD video files. But, for now
finding the VTS_01_1.VOB and determining its video and audio quality is the priority.
As for the Easycap Capture USB 2.0...I have never used that device. And, I do not believe it is for the purpose of ripping DVD video files from a DVD disc.
I suspect its description is for DV data capture via USB into a software Capture Window. A firewire, not USB, connection works in Premiere Elements process of DV and HDV capture into the Premiere Elements Capture Window. Version 13 no longer has this feature.
Please review to make sure that we are together on the details and the goals at this point.
Thanks.

With Lion, How Can I Erase the Hard Drive and Reinstall The System Software?

I plan on buying a used iMac with a Core 2 Duo so that I can run Lion. Since Lion can only be purchased at the Mac App store what if I needed to erase my hard drive and re-install the system software. How can I do this without a DVD with the OS on it like I have for Snow Leapard. I suppose that I could boot from my Snow Leapard DVD and do the erase. Then, I supposed I would be able to download Lion again from the Mac App Store without paying for it again. But, how would you erase a hard drive and reinstall the system software when purchasing a new Mac with Lion already installed and no DVD at all with the OS on it?

When someone purchases any Apple computer with a DVD Drive, they should have recieved two DVDs... One contains the Operating System (up to Snow Leopard, Lion no longer ships on DVD) and the other contains the SYSTEM SOFTWARE (i.e. iLife and iWork). To install the software, they just insert the DVD with the SYSTEM SOFTWARE into any compatible Mac and run the installer. There is no need to erase the hard drive to install SYSTEM SOFTWARE. Maybe a friend can let you borrow the SYSTEM SOFTWARE DVD. The other option is to purchase the software via the App Store.
FYI... App Store purchases are linked to the PURCHASER'S APPLE ID. So if you buy a used Mac from a friend and that Mac already has Lion installed on it,that Lion purchase is linked to YOUR FRIEND'S APPLE ID, not yours. So if you want to download Lion again, you will have to enter your FRIEND'S APPLE ID AND PASSWORD. You can always have your friend re-download Lion and make you a DVD copy.
