Sharing my movies

I am looking for a way that will allow me to rip all the content of a DVD I make in iDVD and store it on a hard drive. Not just the video footage, the DVD menus/sub menus as well and be able to play them by clicking on the file. This way I can drop the file in my Dropbox or Google drive account and share it to many people with out having to burn countless DVD's. Is there a software that will do this? Preferably free!

Hi
Only solution I know of - is using iDVD
In this - Save as a DiskImage.
This can be stored on Mac OS Extended formatted hard disks - on others I don't know - mos6t probably will break at 4Gb limit in DOS / FAT32 etc.
BUT
• this need to be opened - and I guess that You must have a Mac to do this => Will create a simulated DVD to be played with DVD-player tool.
• AND it will be LARGE - as large as any standard DVD => Meaning that sending it via Internet will takes eons of times (or You need a fiber-net-work with 100Mb per second at least - will take times even on a G-bit network.
• Receiver must be able to recieve LARGE files, to un-pack them and have the down-load speed to make it even reasonable.
I rather - Burn a DVD - send it via TNT - most often more cost effective (to me)
Yours Bengt W

Itunes 12 can't import shared home movie to iTunes library

HI. I am trying to import, or add to my desktop iTunes library, a shared home movie. I have file sharing turned on with both my laptop and desktop. I can see, from my desktop, the shared home movies, and I can even play them, but I cannot find an option to import them into the desktop library. I use my desktop to sync my iPad and ultimately I want to add the movies to my iPad. How do I import a shared home movie from my laptop to desktop, not just see it and play it from sharing?

Join the crowd. If you search this and other forums on the web, you'll find that Home Sharing has limited functionality on PC and Mixed PC-Mac networks. It works fine, Mac to Mac, it appears, but PC's seem unable to talk to Macs or one another on many, many, many people's home shared networks. I hope that Apple finds a way to improve this aspect of iTunes or at least expands its troubleshooting recommendations in the support database.

Diff b'twn sharing a movie to DVD and importing movie project to iDVD?

I'm a relative newbie so bear with me if this is a dumb question. What's the difference (if any) between sharing a movie in iMovie 09 to DVD vs opening iDVD and importing a movie project?
Someone at my local Apple store told me the former would only enable you to view the movie on a Mac, while the latter was necessary if you wanted to view the movie through a conventional DVD player. True? Seems odd to me and the iMovie 09 tutorial does not mention this if I recall correctly.
Bottom line, is there a difference? Which is better and why? Thanks.
(I will have to burn some to PAL for relatives overseas)

Not sure for imovie 9, but in iMovie 6 and previous versions, sharing directly from iMovie to iDVD is not recommended because the video will be rendered by both iMovie and iDVD. Importing into iDVD avoided this double rendering. So the quality is better using the import method.

After sharing my movie I can only perform rolling edits...

Hey Guys,
Thanks to anyone that can help me solve this.
I shared my movie and can no longer edit normally with the precision editor. Every time I adjust one of the edit points the clip I am extending covers a portion of an existing neighboring clip rather than changing the length of my project. I don't want to loose or cover the neighboring clip's cut.
I am using imovie 10.3 on an airbook.
I am trying to edit my daughter's school project which is due soon, so any timely suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks.

Burning a movie file onto a DVD disk via the Finder only creates a data disk. What you need to do is create a video DVD disk.
Therefore youi need to use iDVD, import the movie file into an iDVD project and burn the project to a disk which creates a video DVD disk that will play on any settop DVD player.
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Sharing MobilMe movies with others

I recently shared a movie I made in iMovie '09 with friends. One friend and wife could not open the movie on their computer. One was using a Sony PC with Windows. His wife was using Vista. Neither of them could open the movie. Can anyone help with this so I could pass on advice to them as to what they or I should do?

They need to download QuickTime Player, which is a free download from Apple.

TS2972 How do I use home sharing to move a movie to another computer

I am trying to move my digital copy of The hunger games to another computer through home sharing is this posssible?

The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
The longer answer: Think of it like this...
You download some music in iTunes. With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network. But the data itself is on your computer. If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device. Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple).
When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"

Family sharing - Stream movies to idevice instead of downloading?

HI!
i Just set up Family Sharing.
All good in apps, but have this annoying thing with movies:
in the past, with my kid's ipad, I used to have my own iTunes account on it so, when going to the Video app, all my movies purchases where ready to stream directly to the device.
Now with Family Sharing, on my kid's iPad, no movies are available for streaming. I (he) need(s) to go to purchased items on iTunes app, choose my profile, then select movies and yes, he's able to DOWNLOAD it to tjhe ipad, but not stream it.
The fact is that this is less comfortable than the previous situation, as he's not able to directly stream them, which is a pity...
I do have eitherway an iTunes 'server' with the old Home Sharing setup, and yes, he's able to get them from the 'shared' tab of the Videos app, but he was already able to do so in the past.
Also, home sharing only works at home, as it needs to get the media from the iTunes library which has Home Sharing enabled, so it's useless (as it was) outside home.
Now, the new Family Sharing is intersting, but I'm annoyed I read on Apple's website that, upon getting to any other member's itunes items, the rest would be able to DOWNLOAD OR PLAY the items.
(See here;
Family Sharing
Either taht info was wrong, or there's something wrong in my case, or the feature is not working for some other reason.
Any ideas?

Couldn't agree more. I bought my wife a new iPad and the sharing of the Apple ID was something I was looking forward to switching over to family sharing to simplify trying to manage multiple phone #'s and email addresses under one Apple ID by device and to also prepare for the day when my kids are teenagers and want their own accounts to make their own purchases, etc. Issues like having 5 devices ringing/buzzing away when someone calls me is annoying and could be tackled by adding Apple ID's and switching to family sharing. However, the inability to stream movies is an immediate deal killer. My wife wants to watch a movie while working out and certainly isn't going to wait for an hour for it to download first. Yuck!

Sharing multiple movies to existing Mobile Me Gallery

I have used the Share menu to put lot of movies in MMe Gallery. In that process, is there any way to put a movie that I'm Sharing into an existing album on MMe?

I don't know if it is the best or only way, but I did that by initiating the upload of movies from within an album on the gallery part of my MobileMe account--I mean something done as the as the logged in MobileMe site owner, not from the public version of the gallery. Within gallery section of your MobileMe site, click on the name of the gallery (on the left of the screen), then within the particular gallery click on the upward-aiming arrow within a circle that is at the top of the screen. You then get a window that allows you to browse until you find the file you want to upload.

Sharing iTunes movies with family member

Hi everyone and thank you in advance if you can help me at all.
At home my partner and I share my MBP (using only one account), which contains my iTunes library that I use with several of my own devices (ipad, iphone, ipod). My partner is going to buy an iPad this week and I want us to be able to share TV/Movies whilst maintaining separate iTunes libraries on the MBP (we have very different music tastes and do not want to 'pollute' each others' libaries). Any future TV/Movies purchases will not be made from a shared itunes account - in case we break up we'd want to walk away with our respective movies.
Apart from creating a new user account on the MBP for my partner and re-locating both iTunes libraries to the shared 'public' folder so that we can manually add movies and TV to our individual iTunes accounts (which seems like a clunky and hard-drive consuming solution) I'm not sure what to do.
Is there another way?
Thanks
Carrie

Hi bcarrie,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The method you mention above is the best way to share your iTunes libraries:
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
The other option would be to backup the iTunes library to an external drive, and then copy it to the new User Account if you want to develop the two libraries independently.

Home Sharing - Purchased movies aren't crossing over?

I just got a new laptop, installed itunes and enabled Home Sharing. I was then able to share all my songs from my old computer over to the new system - so far, so good. Most of the movies I had transferred to the new system no problem. However, some of them give me an "The Download of "movie" was interupted. Please shoose "check for available downloads" from the Store menu to resume the download". When I do that, it says all purchases have been downloaded.
These are movies that I've purchased from itunes and are my other computer, so what gives? Any ideas? Help?

Doh! My mistake!
I just read - straight from iTunes that some films from Fox and a few other studios aren't available in the Cloud!
I'll just leave this here in case someone else missed that too..
It's movies from Fox, MGM, and Universal so I'll just go ahead and not purchase their content.

Sharing iTunes movie rentals with Apple TV

I've downloaded a rental movie from iTunes on my iPad but cannot see it in the menu for rentals on the Apple TV. I have the home sharing function selected on all devices. Any suggestions on how to resolve so I can view on the Apple TV?

Do you mean you rented on iTunes on a computer or on AppleTV from iTunes store?
If in iTunes on a computer check it's still there otherwise it won't show. If it's more than 24 or 48 hours (US or some other countries) since you started watching the rental will have expired even if you've not finished watching it.

Sharing FLV Movies

Hello,
I have a flv player and I would like to include the option to
share the movie you just watched. I am very stupid with flash so
any help is vary appreciated. If someone can help me great but if
you just point me to where I can find some more info about this is
ok also. Thanks

The concept of sharing is pretty straightforward, but I can
only recommend some general steps in a reply:
1. Create a form with textfields in Flash that appear when
the user clicks a Share button. You'll need a "to:" field for the
receipient email, and probably a comment field.
2. Create a server-side script (e.g. php, asp, etc) that can
accept the form data. Have the server generate an email and include
the link to the URL hosting the FLV file.
Is that helpful?

Disable Application/Desktop Sharing in Movi

Hi,
I have got a requirement to stop our users from sharing applications through Movi. I can't see anything in the release notes or in the TMS/VCS documentation.
Has anybody found a way of doing this?
Thanks in advance
Paul
Movi 4.2
VCS X7.0.1
TMS 13.1.1

Maybe I guess I should have been more clear.
I didn't mean to say that the CUCM idea was a good idea, just that it was an idea.
In 5 and a half years of doing video for Cisco, TAC has never, ever referred me to an SE.
If he has a maintenance contract, there is no reason not to open the case to ask the question.
That is one of the reasons why you buy SMARTNET, so you can call TAC when the documentation is unclear or totally lacking for what you want to do.
This will likely result in either a feature request or a defect.
Having said that, if there is a way to do it, TAC is the way for the average customer to escalate to the BU to find someone who knows how to do it if it is possible with current technology.

Shared Library not sharing certain movies or tv shows to 1st Gen iPad

I purchased Blu-Ray's that included the digital copy feature for a couple of movies including The Lord of the Rings, as well as Transformers 2. I was successfully able to regiser the movies in iTunes, download them, and they play them fine directly on the Mac where I downloaded them to.
I use the Shared Libraries feature to allow my iPhone 4S as well as a 1st generation iPad, and a 13' Macbook Air to access content stored on the Mac where I downloaded the movies in question. The movies can be played fine via Shared Libraries on the iPhone 4s, the Macbook Air, but they are not even displayed in the Shared Libraries on the iPad. When I browse on the iPad, the movies do not appear in the library. However what is very odd is that other movies that I have purchased directly from iTunes do show up on the iPad - for example I bought Disney's Cars directly from the the iTunes store, and this one shows up fine on the iPad. I'm seeing this same content for several videos that shows up as "TV Shows" but don't display at all on the iPad.
A few technical details:
The movies were downloaded using iTunes version 10.6.1 (7) to a 2012 Mac Mini running the Intel Core i7 CPU.
OSX 10.7.4 is installed on the Mac
iOS 5.1.1 is installed on the 1st Gen iPad and on the iPhone 4s
I find it quite odd that the videos play on every Apple device I own, and even a PC that is using the Shared Library but not on the 1st Gen Ipad.
Any ideas?

Mmmm....OK, just deleted a movie that was already there, and the ones I imported suddenly appeared. And started to download a TV series from the iTunes store, and the imported ones appeared too....no idea what was going on, but all is how I want it now...iTunes must have got it's knickers in a twist!!

Sharing a movie with another iPod synched with other account

I have purchased several movies in my own iTunes/OS-X account. My son just bought an iPod (with video capabilities) and wants to download and watch them on his iPod. He has his own iTunes/OS-X accounts on the same computer. I was able to sync his iPod with my account and transfer (copy) the movies to his account but this is redundant as we both now have copies of the movies.
Is there anyway to share movies/music/tv-shows across accounts on the same computer so that multiple family members (we know have 5 iPods/accounts) on the same computer can have the same movie on multiple iPods from multiple accounts?
