Recording sound directly from a DVD into your computer

Can you record sound directly into your computer from a DVD playing on your computer?

Audio Hijack also creates large files, size-wise. This can be a problem if you are working with putting music on audio cds. Google "ripdifferent" for a site that discusses various methods of legally backing up legally purchased media. The gray area here actually has to do with breaking encryption- under US copyright law, users have always been allowed to make a single back-up (Fair Use) of any recorded media they have purchased. It is possible that media companies are, themselves, in violation of copyright law by making it difficult to make said backups by encrypting their media. Also, copying (ripping, recording, etc.) any DVD in any way would seem to be covered by the warning at the start of all DVDs (including soundtracks), which would include Audio Hijack, for instance. This all came about when the digital revolution made it possible to create exact copies. Back in the day, copying an LP to cassette, for instance, was not considered a problem, because you would lose a generation. BTW, ripping music DVDs can be problematic, as they are mastered differently than are "movies," and some Mac ripping programs have difficulty with them. Proceed cautiously and consider legal ramifications, but also consider retaining YOUR legal rights as well.

Recording sound directly from the web?

I have Adobe Soundbooth CS3, and I'm trying to find a way to record a sound directly (on the wire) from a web page. I've been unable to do this, being relegated to the built-in microphone.
One example, is recording the interesting "Audio Preview" on Youtube.
Is there some trick I can do to accomplish this?
Thanks.

Recording audio ONLY from a DVD into iTunes

Hi, I'm new to macs having just got an iMac G5. So far I love it and it's loads better than any windows based system I've had. I'm wondering if it is possible to record the audio only from some music DVD's I have into iTunes...can anyone help or is this simply not possible?

I'm trying to redeem my digital copies by inserting the disk and entering in my code, but I keep getting an error message that says "An error occurred while copying "*movie* from the DVD to your computer- the required disk cannot be found"

I don't know what is going on, I have tried this with several movies as we got a few for Christmas and I keep getting the same error message- I will admit that my MAC is a couple of years old, so I wonder if it is a hardware problem with my disk drive- the error message has a smaller type message saying to check the DVD for dirt or damage and try it again, but the disks are all brand new with nothing on them at all- I have already experienced trying to get a digital copy when it has expired (stupid movie companies) and they wouldnt' let me redeem it, I worry that I will have the same problem if I wait too long to get these movies...

I'll keep it simple and only use the date as an example. Hopefully you get the concept from the example. Basically you create a recordset and insert the recordset value instead of the POST value into your insert query. In the example below I declared a variable for $the_date and entered the variable into the INSERT query instead of the hidden POST field.

function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")

    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
   $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";

Importing from a DVD into Premiere CS6 and MPG files.

HI I'm new to this forum and to CS6. I'm well versed in CS3 Premiere and other earlier versions.
I have a problem importing the VOB files from a DVD into Premiere CS6. I copied the VIDEO_TS folder from the DVD onto my hard drive and successfully imported the 3 VOB files that made up the 1 hour video. Upon placing them into a sequence (720 x 576 25fps DV PAL to match the DVD) I found that when I played over a join between the VOB files, the picture and sound briefly broke up. Is this normal? There is no encryption on the DVD.
I then used MPEG Streamclip to convert the DVD to a MPG2 with MP2 audio file (thereby avoiding a decode and the subsequent recode when I encode the edited version, I.E. DVD is MPEG2 so I want to extract the video with the minimum of processing.) I tried to import this into Premiere but after it thought about it for a while, the resulting icon in the Project Window indicated that the file was not usable. Indeed it was not. I deleted it...... and then imported it again. It worked! This is not just a one-off occurrence. Any thoughts?
Premiere is fully updated along with all the other programs in CS6. Using Windows 7 64 bit.
bye Andrew

I have same issue too.
Who can help me
Used "Media Encoder" encore three . VOB(form DVD) files to WMV.
And used Premiere to import the file between the VOB files,
the sound briefly broke up.
If change to import .VOB form dvd,the sound briefly broke up too.
thanks!

I am lost. I put photos from a DVD into organizer?

I put images from a DVD into Elements 9. My images show up in my catalog and it allows me to edit and to print. It never asks me to put in the disk. BUT once I got a message that elements could not do something because the image is on an external disk.
How do I check where they are?
If they are only on the external disk, why did it let me print and do some editing?
Is it using just the thumb nail? Wouldn't I lose a lot of quality. I have only done 4x6 prints so far.
I can't find the answers in the manual.
If they are only on the DVDs, what I guess I am asking is, how do I manage them if they stay on the dvds. I have one to three DVDs for each year.
Thanks for any help,
confused and bewildered

Thanks, I lost the side panel. I begin to understand. I see my photo files and they are all within the c drive. They must all be imported otherwise it would show F (DVD) drive wouldn't it?
Elements created a folder and called it "photos from removeable media" and all my photos from DVDs are within that folder. To me 'from removeable media" seemed to indicate that they are thumbnails only but I guess not. There is a message that says "No files from this folder have been imported into the organizer. To add any files right click on the folder and select 'import to organizer' Do I read this that Elements does not see any files in the master folder since there are only folders in the master folder?
All my file organization is gone from the files imported from removeable media. The whole year is just blobbed together. What is the best way to put the pictures back into the subfolders I had on the disks.For example, I create a master folder (Boston trip) and then within it subfolders (A at hotel, B tours, C people) Should I delete everything and start again. First copy to the hard drive to keep my folders? Then import to Elements? I have 2 or 3 DVDs per year.
I appreciate your help. Thanks again,
Linda

Import video and audio from a dvd into FCP

Is there an easier way to import video and audio into Final Cut Pro - I am playing it on a DVD player and making a digital tape of it. Then logging and capturing it into FCP.

Hello and welcome to the forum!
Yes, there are a few ways that are faster. Have a look at this thread http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=3465691
You could use software, such as "streamclip", or import by plugging your camera into your capture device and hooking your capture device into your computer and capturing by non-controllable device settings.
Good Luck

How do I get Video_TS.BUP, Video_TS IFO, Video_VOB files from A DVD into my Final Cut Po on mac.

Hi I have had VHS videos put onto DVDs but several videos are on one dvd. I am trying to separate them and put them on their own DVD.
There are Video_TS.BUP, Video_TS IFO, Video_VOB files. I have a prism converter so I converted the files to MP4 thinking I could then copy them into Final Cut Pro to edit etc but Final cut pro comes back with error message "File Error: Unknown file"
I tried converting to .mov but same message. Can any one help please.
Louise

Actually, if you're not doing any editing beyond separating the different films and are willing to dive into a slightly deeper end of the pool, you can use mpeg streamclip to "demux" the dvds into m2v (video) and ac3 (audio) files and bring these files into dvdsp and set start and ends for each section to make individual dvds. This will allow you to repurpose the material without any loss in quality. If you convert the material from the dvd into quicktimes suitable for editing in fcp and then recompress them for authoring back to dvd, you will have some quality loss. Whether the loss is enough to worry you, you'll have to decide for yourself.
If you want any further help with this workflow, post back.

Is it possible to record data directly from PXI-5112 scope card through PXI bus to SCSI RAID array (connected to PXI-8210)?

Colleagues,
Is it possible to record data directly from PXI-5112 scope card through PXI bus to SCSI RAID array (connected to PXI-8210)?
Which will be the maximum transfer rate for continuous data recording?
Thank you,
Sergey
Sergey

Sergey,
The PXI-8210 can connect to any SCSI 2 compliant device. If the RAID controller is SCSI 2 and appears just like a hard drive in the operating system, then you can send data directly to the RAID array. The problem is that the driver for the PXI-5112 does not yet support continuous acquisition. The on-board 16MB or 32MB buffer stores the data until the entire acquisition is completed. Once the acquisition complete, all of the data is transferred from the on-board buffer to the hard drive. After that happens, the NI 5112 is ready for another acquisition.
Best Regards,
Jace Curtis

How do I transfer or backup tv shows I downloaded on my iPad from the iPad into my computer's iTunes library?

How do I transfer or backup tv shows I downloaded on my iPad from the iPad into my computer's iTunes library? I have a bunch of tv episodes on my iPad that I want to delete but first i want to back them up onto my computer so i have them. If I check "Sync TV Shows" in the iPad in TV shows it tells me all the shows on the iPad will be replaced by what is in my library. I tried going into iTunes store to redownload but it tells me they are "downloaded." Any thoughts?

How do we Back up my music files from my phone into my computer (PC) without using any programs

I am looking for a way to back up my Music from my iPhone into the computer (Like how the iPod Nano could) WITHOUT using any programs. Is there a way? Is it possible? If so, please help....
thankyou
Charlie

Music purchased from the iTunes store can be redownloaded again for free (see.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519) In other words, it's already in iCloud so there's nothing you need to upload.
However, if you don't want to run into problems syncing with your new computer you need to copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.
