Recording DVD in the Macbook

I want to know if I can record a DVD movie in my Macbook and then record the movie in a DVD blank disc?

Yes; you can use iDVD to make and burn the movie. If it will contain footage from a digital camera, iMovie can be used to import it. Both applications are located in the Applications folder on your hard disk.
If you want to duplicate an existing DVD which doesn't have any copy protection, follow the instructions in this article.

  • Can you put Mini Dvds in the Macbook Dvd Player?

    I would like to know this before I try it and make a costly mistake. I am trying to get the video off of a Sony Handycam.

    Here is the list of types of disk allowed. Slot load drives are not built to use mini disk. Use an external DVD drive to read it an transfer it to your MacBook.

  • Recording audio with the macbook

    HOWDY HO EVERBODY!!!
    is there anybody out there who is using their macbook to record audio?i'd really like to know the results/problems.for those of you out there who do use computer based audio recording software,and r using pro tools in particular,pt version 7.1.1 was released yesterday!
    (you can download it at the 'compatibility' section of the digidesign user conference/duc).this update is for the new intel core duo processers,making pro tools compatible with all iMacs,mac minis and macbook pros.it says in the digidesign website that macbooks are not yet qualified for the software update,but there r a few ppl on the duc that hav already tried the software on their macbooks.i just ordered my macbook last week (1.83)and i can't wait!!

    I use garage band from iLife '05 side by side with ProTools mBox 6.4 on my eMac and stuck there because I have to pay extra for upgrade to 6.7. So I wait until I really need newer Protools for my Black Mac Book, and if I need it I might go with mBox 2.
    I just got my Mac Book yesterday so I haven't play with garage band on that, but you cannot depend on built in mike to capture the audio for sure because of the unwanted environment ambience that also captured by that mike or captured mac book fan and noise. Invest a dedicated decent mike for that.

  • Transfer Records onto Computer using MacBook?

    Hello,
    I have a lot of old records, and an old record player. I just bought a brand new MacBook (the standard MacBook, not the Pro). It is the 2.16 ghz black MacBook with 2 gigs of RAM.
    I am wondering if it is possible to transfer my old records onto the computer using Garage Band. If so, do I need any intermediary hardware device?
    I tried to just plug the record player into the MacBook using the Audio Input port, but all I get is quiet static when it is playing. I no longer have a working stereo system to test the record player, so unfortunatly, that may be why this isn't working, but I just wanted to see if there was anything other than a faulty player that could cause these problems.
    Thanks in advance.

    what was suggested there is what I've tried from my end in Garage Band. So it could possibly be a faulty record player.
    Well actually, no, one of the first things it says is that you can not just plug a turntable into your Mac.

  • How do you insert a CD/DVD into a macbook pro drive?

    Hi, I'm a new user to macbook pro's. I just wanted to ask what should I expect when I first insert a cd into my drive for the first time? I try to put in about 3/4 in with the cd I want to insert, and there are no signs (physical/audible) that the system is recognizing I am trying to put in a CD and take the rest of it in automatically. Are you suppose to just keep jamming the CD completely in without the computer taking it in at all?

    To see if the disc has been charged, open Finder and look under Devices in the sidebar, and you must see the DVD. The MacBook Pro has a slot-in drive, so it should make a noise, but if DVDs load properly and you see it in Finder, don't worry about this

  • Macbook Pro: Play and record sound at the same time

    Greetings everyone,
    My brother and I have are going to switch go a mac, preferebly to a macbook pro. we used windows so far, but the frustration has grown extremely huge, so it's time to throw off this junk.
    We've been working with sound a lot and many times we recorded any sound which played through the computer: that means sound and music from dvds and games or other sources, we couldn't get anywhere else. What we did is simply letting the game or dvd play and record the audio at the same time.
    I've testet this functionality in windows via bootcamp on a macbook of friend of mine, but NOT the macbook pro version. It's wasn't really that good as I thought. Sound quality was below what I'd expect.
    So here are my questions:
    - Does the macbook pro have a better sound card, which enables simultaneos play + record?
    - Is good record quality bound to a software I need to use?
    Thanks for your replies.

    Apple don't have separate "sound cards" like PC's , Martin. The necessary hardware is proprietary , and built into the logic boards.
    Both of them have high quality combined optical digital input and audio line in, and combined optical digital output and audio line out. You can also attach various USB or firewire audio input and output devices if you wish. So as far as 'quality" goes, it depends what you are playing them through more than anything else. The inherent audio abilities of both are pretty danged good when using Mac specific software. That is why the music industry love 'em!
    Or are you just talking about sound quality through the built in speakers, which are, of course severely limited by the amount of space available, though I've heard far worse from many PC notebooks!?
    Cheers

    Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
    Do a backup,  preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors.  Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

    When you reboot, use Setup Assistant to restore your data.

  • I left a dvd in my macbook pro for a while and now my computer wont recognize that there is even a disk in there, nor will it eject it. how do i get the dvd out?

    i left a dvd in my macbook pro for a while and now my computer wont recognize that there is even a disk in there, nor will it eject it. how do i get the dvd out?

    Hold down the mouse button or trackpad clicker as you start up.
    If no joy, restart and hold the Option key. This brings up the Startup Manager, which will draw an Icon for each bootable Volume. When all are drawn, the Eject key is "live".

  • Why did Apple get rid of the DVD slot in the MacBook Pro

    Why did Apple get rid of the DVD slot in the MacBook Pro?

    Because relatively few people used it and Apple wanted to decrease the size/price of the computers.

  • Why won't my new macbook pro recognise a recorded dvd?

    I have a burned dvd of family wedding photos. It works fine in my old HP laptop (Windows) but isnt recognised as anything other than a blank disc in the MacBook Pro harddrive...... any ideas?

    When it was burned it may have been burned using Windows software that either excluded compatibility to be read on a Mac or you didn't select that option.
