Some DVDs not playing in my iMac, need help!

some orginial / genuine DVDs not playing in my iMac, need help!

Once your husband copied the movies, did he use a burn software to burn them to a DVD? You need to use a burn software to properly encode the footage so it'll play in any DVD player/computer/TV. So, once the movie is copied to your hard drive, you can edit it in iMovie (may need a converter first to get it into a format iMovie can work with such as MPEG Streamclip); after you're done in iMovie, use iDVD if you have it or Roxio Toast to burn it to a DVD.
And for the OP: Regions are different depending on where the movie was made: the US, Europe, etc. The regions are set within DVD player  - you insert a DVD and the player reads what region it originated in. Please note you can only change regions 5 x; after the 5th, that setting will remain and can't be changed again.

  • Video portion of Nightwish DVD not playing correctly on Quicktime. It is not a smooth playback. Can I correct this?

    Video portion of Nightwish DVD not playing correctly on Quicktime.  It is not a smooth playback. A little jerky. Is there an easy slution to the problem?

    I worded my question incorrectly. It isn't a DVD I'm having the problem with, it' s a Nightwish concert download form iTunes I am having the video portion of the video that plays not smoothy. Like it is moothing it short little segments, not a steady flow!

  • Why do some podcasts not play on my touch?

    I download podcasts with Itunes. When I sync to my 1st Gen Ipod Touch most play fine, but some will not play on the touch. I get a message that there are some podcasts that will not play on my touch. They are all downloaded with Itunes and in the MP4 format. There are other shows in the same "sieres" that play just fine. But some episodes don't sync. They play OK in Itunes. How do I get them to sync to my touch?

    Hi AC,
    Thanks for that.
    I have Apple TV 1 & only use Handbrake.
    An example of 2 problem videos:
    High Society
    MPEG_4 (Base Media / Version 2): 1.09GiB
    1 Video stream: AVC
    1 Audio stream: AAC
    Encoded date: UTC
    Tagged Date: UTC
    Writing Application: Handbrake 0.9.5 2011010300
    Video 1290kps, 720*416 (16:9), at 25 fps, AVC ([email protected]) (CABAC / 4 Ref Frames)
    The Marine
    MPEG_4 (Base Media / Version 2): 1.53GiB
    1 Video stream: AVC
    1 Audio stream: AAC
    Encoded date: UTC 2011-11-29
    Tagged Date: UTC 2011-11-29
    Writing Application: Handbrake 0.9.5 2011010300
    Video 2222kps, 1280*688 (1:860), at 23.976 fps, AVC ([email protected]) (CABAC / 4 Ref Frames)
    To a layman like me, these specs look similair to specs of my non-problem videos.
    e.g.
    The Pawnbroker
    MPEG_4 (Base Media / Version 2): 764 MiB
    1 Video stream: AVC
    1 Audio stream: AAC
    Encoded date: UTC
    Tagged Date: UTC
    Writing Application: Handbrake 0.9.5 2011010300
    Video 794kps, 512*384 (4:3), at 23.976 fps, AVC ([email protected]) (CABAC / 2 Ref Frames)

  • New iPad 3 will not charge from a mac. need help on that

    my new ipad 3 will not charge from a mac. need help why if any one knows? thk

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
    Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at Apple: iPad Battery Nothing to Get Charged Up About

  • I have updated to iTunes 10 and now my unchecked songs are playing... I don't want this and can't figure out how to have it like it was before (not playing unchecked songs). Please help!

    I have updated to iTunes 10 and now my unchecked songs are playing... I don't want this and can't figure out how to have it like it was before (not playing unchecked songs). Please help! I leave the unchecked songs in there b/c there will come a point in time where I want to listen to these songs but right now I don't.

    yes, 10.3.1, iTunes already restarted, menu settings already like that and still it will play all unchecked songs (including the checked songs of course). Why even have check and unchecked if the program is going to play all of them anyway?!
    thanks for responding though...

    Recently downloaded the new podcast app, but does not play offline. Can anyone help? Thank you.

    Hey Karenfromanamosa,
    I fixed this problem by turning off the ipad and then turning it back on after 5-10 minutes.
    Hopefully then when you play a video it will start playing.
