Sync DVD in Universal Disc Format (UDF) to my AppleTV

I was wondering if anyone out there could point me in the right direction. Some time ago I made a home movie using iMovie/iDVD and my only back up after a hard disk crash is a DVD in Universal Disc Format. How can I convert this DVD to a format that will be accepted in iTunes and thus be synced to my Apple TV?
Thanks!

Universal Disc format to iMovie

Recorded a DVD from a VHS tape on a Sony VHS-DVD recorder. I am able to open in my Mac in the DVD player, but I cannot import to iMovie. The disc shows up as a folder icon in the desktop in a Universal Disc Format. How can I import to iMovie. Thanks

the usual reply in the iM section of this board would be... :
DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
* VisualHub (23.32$)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

Universal Disk Format (UDF) into FCE4

Does anyone know if you can or how to import Universal Disk Format (UDF) into FCE4

The UDF file system itself is not really relevant.
If you are really asking about converting DVD video for editing in FCE, then you need the following:
MPEG Streamclip and the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component (you need both)
Use MPEG Streamclip to convert the DVD video to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec. Then in FCE select an Easy Setup that matches your video and import the converted file(s) into FCE

IDVD5 "Incorrect Disc Format" on Home DVD Player

My newly created DVD will not play in our home DVD player (which has played DVD's I have created in the past). I keep receiving the message "Incorrect disc format". I have burned my project to DVD-R's and DVD+R's. I have enough space, I am burning at "Best Quality", and have deleted the encoded assets before a re-burn because I edited the project. The DVD's I have created will play on my Mac and on other computers (PC's) in the house. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
I burned many DVD with iLife3, and it's work very well (dvr-r)
I read theses on many différent home dvd players and computers (IBM or MAC)
I upgrade to iLife4, same thing, but some reading errors...
I upgrade to iLife5, dvd play only on few home dvd players, and on IBM laptop, having lots of problems
I upgrade to iLife6, Only my MAC or a cheap magnasonic home dvd player read the "iDVD burned DVD-r).
What's happend, Apple change the encoding method of iDVD !
I bought a brand new Panasonic DVD-S77, and ... "disk error"
I try to burn 2x (like iLife3 or iLife4 in the past) same résult.
Im frustrated, I don't try Toast or Popcorn, iDVD is supposed to do the job!
I have my G5 since 4 years, I use TDK and Verbatim DVD-R (unfortunately made in China or Taiwan).

Best way to burn a DVD+R DL disc?

I was wondering what everyone thought was the best way to burn a DVD+R DL disc.
This is how i do it and let me know if you have better results doing it a different way.
1. Never burn from DVD SP, always use Toast instead.
2. Select All Regions (including #7) in DVD SP
3. Build/Format, then select Harddrive, .img file
4. Use Toast and select Copy, then Image File.
1. I never burn in DVD SP because it uses the fastest write speed that your disc/burner does and this seems to have issues.
2&3. I always select All Region because DVD SP by default doesn't select #7 (no clue to why that is) and if you got to harddrive using .img, then that is CMF format and CMF needs all region (RCM Value of 0). Otherwise DVD SP will have different region codes in the MAIN.DAT vs. the CONTROL.DAT. 0 and possibly 64 or 40.
4. With Toast you can set the write speed. I just use 2X and this takes 40 minutes or so for a full DVD+R DL disc.
But..
Is this the best way?
Or is the DVD-ROM (UDF) option a better way?
Any suggestions?

Hi Brian,
Not that this really helps you solve the dvdsp thing but if they are regular clients maybe buy a cheap(ish) dvd player that plays your discs fine and send them it. Explain the ±DL issues. Say the authoring is fine but the ±DL media thing is a mine field so here is a player so proofing goes smoother in the future.
If Toast is working better then send a media input form with the proof stating where the LB will be on the master etc.
I'd like to hear anything anyone else has to say but I'm sure we're aware of most of the options already.
FWIW, if you're running 10.4.x you can type drutil info in Terminal and hit enter to see what types of media the attached drives can burn,
Good luck,
-Jake

"Error"-message while burning to a DVD+R DL-disc?

Hi,
I'm trying to burn a project to a DVD+R DL-disc (Verbatim). The Project is 5,82 GB (183 min). I have put the project to "PAL", "High Quality", "Widescreen (16:9)" and "Double Layer" respectively in the Project information.
I start to burn, the coding of the menus goes well, but as soon as it's about to start coding the movies, I get an errormessage saying, "An error arise during the moviecoding".
I have tried like 5-6 times, but it always gives me the same message.
Anyone have a guess what's wrong?
(Plus, after a get the errormessage and goes to the Projectinformation, it says that my project is 7,64 GB, but still 183 min....)
Thankful for any tips...

Not sure I can help very much, but I have had similar problems with large projects. I think (but I'm not sure) that iDVD does not do a very good job of estimating the size of the project until it starts to render/encode. So your project might be too big even for a dual-layer DVD. Can you reduce the size/length of the movie at all. And/or reduce the size of any iDVD slideshows you might also have in the iDVD project.
One small trick (I think this is true, but again I'm not 100% sure) is to reduce the size of the audio. If you use songs from iTunes, what format are they? I keep my songs in Apple Lossless which makes the files large. When I compress them to say AAC 128 or 160 in iTunes, and then use those smaller file versions in my iMovie project or slideshows, it reduces the size of the iDVD project.

DVD/CD-RW drive won't read a DVD+R/DL disc

Hi,
Has anybody had problems with reading a DVD+R/DL disc on a Macbook with a MATSHITACD-RW CW-8221 revision GA0J drive. A client sent me a Fuji 4X (manufactured by Ritek) DVD+R/DL disc with about 5.43G bytes of data.
I know the drive on my Macbook can only burn CDs, and that seems OK. It is supposed to be able to read any DVD format, though write any DVD format. Commercial DVDs and single layer DVDs seem to be OK, but the DL dvd just spits out after a few seconds. I get the same reaction in Windows vVsta on the Macbook, installed with Bootcamp.
The same DVD+R/DL disc reads just fine on an Acer 3680 notebook with a cheap CD-RW/DVD pop-out style drive. Nero's utility prrogram, on the Acer, says the DVD+R/DL is OK, but notes it is not finalized - which it isn't supposed to be - as the client is planning to add more data in another session. Based on what I've read on OSTA.org's web site, the +R format (unlike the -R format) should be transportable between disc readers without needing to be finalized.
I am glad I have an external hard disk drive to read the files on the Acer and move them to the Macbook.
Has anybody else run into this and/or found a flash update for the Macbook's optical drive?
Bill

Have the same problem. I've spent last day to find the cause of this problem, but I still have no ideas how to make my MacBook C2D read DVD-R DL DVDs. I was trying to read blank Verbatim DVD-R DL 4x and Verbatim DVD-R 8x filled with data but both are still just spits out after 15-20 seconds. And during spinning the disc MacBook's optical drive emits a few beeps (very quiet but easy to hear).

Can Mac mini Core Solo read DVD+R DL discs?

Hi,
I couldn't find the exact specs for this model's DVD-ROM drive. I've read normal DVDs (4.3GB) before on this guy and it's okay.
Then I put some commercial video show DVD disc that I believe is DL (using Nero on a PC, I copied the DVD to hard drive and its size was about 7GB or so, so I figured it's a Dual Layer disc), and the mini seemed to mount it just fine.
Now I'm ready to burn my own DVD+R DL disc (up to 8.5GB I guess) from a PC and hopefully my DVD-ROM drive on this mini can read it...
Does anyone know for sure if this DVD ROM supports DL reading?? Apple's Spec just says "reads DVD," not much more.

Hey there Boece,
Yeah, I know the best way is to just, "try it."
But I guess I was lazy and figured that someone would
have already known the answer already and would
simply reply and give a definate answer.. I dont see
why Apple's Spec doesnt show this fact it can read DL
discs, it just says generically it can read
DVD-ROMs... Oh well. heh..
That's because commercial DVDs are commonly dual layer and mostly always have been. It's really only format and +/- compatibility that's a potential issue.
As for the login problem, glad to know it's just not
me.. pheew... sheez, it's such a pain in the butt, to
after login, you have to manevuer thru some more
pages to go back to the page where you can actually
post.. sheez.. Apple, fix this please!!
The L4/5 members have been bashing the ears of the hosts about this for ages now, and they're as fed up with it happening as we all are. It's been pointed out that not only is it inconvenient, but also may give users logging in the erroneous notion that their login has actually failed, and thus they can't (and don't) post. The issue was raised with the support engineers on Jun 20.
L4 member eww posted a fix that works for some in the Lounge (hence I can't link to it here), but here is what was said:
Without logging in, go to the Discussions main page. Drag the "Login" link in the right sidebar into a text editor window, where the URL text will appear. Delete the following text from the end of the URL:
%3FsuccessURL%3D%2Findex.jspa
Paste the remainder of the URL into your web browser and bookmark it. Hit Enter to log into Discussions with no error message.
The reason I'm not posting the whole URL is that I believe it contains AppleID info that's particular to each user.
This has been working flawlessly for me ever since the problem arose. It happened that I was already using the truncated URL as my login bookmark — I have no recollection of how or when I arrived at it, but it has certainly spared me the annoyance so many others have expressed here.

Importing/converting DVD-Audio/Dual Discs

Hello, this is my first post.
I just got the 30 GB Video Ipod today.
I am not having any luck with iTunes importing and converting my dvd-audio/dual discs.
The CD side gets recognized by iTunes but sounds VERY scratchy when it is converted to a format to put on my ipod. Strangely, it also sounds scratchy when I play it on windows media player or any other software player. It also goes silent for a bit sometimes. But it plays fine outside of my computer (e.g. my car) and it isnt scratched.
I flipped it over to the DVD side and iTunes doesn't recognize it so I can't import and convert it. The DVD side sounds fine though when I play the audio on my computer or on an outside player (e.g. my car).
Is there anything I can do?

How to convert MP4 movie to dvd burn ready disc image?

I have a 15 minute MP4 movie (640x480, non-copy protected) that I'd like to save as a dvd burn-ready disc image. (This was a photo slideshow that a friend made into a movie on OneTrue Media. I don't want to add anything else to it, no chapters, additional files etc -- just save as a disc image that can be posted on my idisk public site for a few friends to download and burn to dvd if they wish). How can I do this the easiest way with iDVD?

Welcome to the forums.
You're almost there. Pull the video into iDVD (mp4 isn't the best format for DVD conversion but it should work) and use the Save As Disc Image command to create your image file (set preferences to Best Performance first).

Universal Disk Format to iMovie

Hello,
I put in a DVD which was burned in an iMac and it won't open in iMovie. When looking up the "get info" on the file it says it is in Universal Disk Format. How do I get it into the imovie clip section?
Thanks

iMovie is for editing uncompressed DV streams, and transferring to iDVD for compression to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
DVDs do not play or open in iMovie but in the DVD Player.

Trouble with DVD+R DL discs in T500 Optical drive

Hi - This is a T500 (2242CTO) running W7/64 - I've downloaded the latest Roxio Creator Business Edition and was able to burn a 4.5GB folder to a DVD+R DL disc using its Data Disc function, no problem.   After completing the burn, i closed Roxio and inserted the DVD into the drive to try and read the contents, and after the drive spun up, I briefly saw the [correct] disc label (in Windows Explorer), then the drive went into Powered Off state (device manager reports the drive has been "prepared for safe removal").   It won't power up either by ejecting the tray or by right-clicking and selecting "power on". It won't even power up if I physically eject the drive and re-insert it.
Other formats, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R and DVD-RW seem to work fine.
I have to re-boot the machine to get the drive back, and while rebooting in this state, W7 hangs in the shutdown process and I have to force a shutdown with the power button (I've had no shutdown hangs otherwise).
Btw, the drive is a mat**bleep**a dvd-ram UJ862A, firmware revision SB04.   I'm actively searching for info about this drive and firmware, in the meantime if anyone has any insights they would be more than welcome.   Thanks!
(PS: I tried to put "Mat**bleep**a" in the "Tags" field of this message and got an error about the word "s**t" being not permitted in this community!!)
