Transfering from DVD to CS5.5

I need help!
I am helping my son make a football highlight tape. The footage was taken with a Video Camcorder by the coach, and I have now received the footage on separate Dual Layer DVD +R DVD's
How do I move the video into Premier Pro 5.5 when I am not actually going to "capture" it from a device.
Thanks

You will want to Import the VOB's inside the VIDEO_TS folder. So long as they are 100% DVD-compliant, they should Import just fine. If they are NOT 100% DVD-compliant, there can be issues, and especially with the first VOB. This ARTICLE goes into a bit more detail.
Good luck,

HT1539 Digital copy transferred from DVD has no audio played back via Apple TV

I have successfully redeemed and transferred the digital copy from a DVD into iTunes. Both the video and audio play perfectly when I play the .m4v file using QuickTime Player. The video plays perfectly, but there is no audio when the movie plays via my Apple TV. My TV is not muted. Every other file in my iTunes library, including movies and music and no matter the source, play back with audio just fine. The only file that doesn't play with audio via my Apple TV is this digital copy that I redeemed and transferred into iTunes. Any idea what my problem might be?

Apple Support Communities solved my problem thanks to member Winston Churchill.
My digital copy of Skyfall transferred from the DVD into iTunes and viewed via my Apple TV on my HD TV would display the video with great clarity and resolution but the audio would not play.
Per his suggestion I visited the Settings icon on my Apple TV. I changed the "audio out" setting from "auto" to "16-bit" and this fixed my problem.
Thanks to Mr. Churchill for solving my problem with his brilliant suggestion.

Transfering from PhotoshopCS3 to CS5 Bridge keywording and rating questions?

I have been using my daughter's photoshop CS3 on her computer and have keyworded and star rated most of my photos. She is now leaving home and I am going to purchase CS5 (as she will be taking her computer and the program). How do I transfer all these to the new version of CS5? I have spent soooo much time doing this and don't want to have to redo all the hard work.
I read somewhere that the keywords are embedded in the metadata. If that is so, would I just create the new keywords in the newer version and it will pick them up when I import the photos? I can't seem to find anything about importing star ratings.
Any suggestions??? I don't want to go ahead and purchase the new program until I know if this will work.

Keywords are embedded on the image so it is portable no matter what viewer. So there should be no problem in switching from CS3 to 5, worked for me.
However, (there always is a however isn't there?) the keyword panel will show italacized keywords meaning they are tempary. You can right click on the keyword and choose "make persistant".
If you like the keyword structure on your daughters computer click on the arrow in upper right hand corner of the keyword panel and choose Export. Save it on a flash drive and you will have it for future use.
I think the stars will be OK also.
Hope this helps.

Video problem when transfering from DVD to itunes

I have tried various windows based programs like PQ DVD and cucucsoft to convert my DVDs into iPod compatible movies. The problem I have been having is that after I have the movie saved on my PC, when I try to import it to itunes, the audio comes across fine but the video is a jumble of wavy blue or brown screens and nothing comes across. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong, since I have followed all the instructions provided on the websites. I have already tried 3 different programs with the same result each time. If this helps, I have been trying their trial software. I haven't purchased these programs yet. Please help...am at my wit's end!!!

I tried that and I couldn't find a single bad file...
I ended up downloading a program that transfers files directly between the computer and iPod. I lost half of my library but to be honest, I don't miss that much of it - most of it was old stuff I never listened to anymore.

Trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit - setup.exe fails due to msxml3.dll error PDApp message [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154

If anyone is able to solve this they are a genius (or I am doing something very stupid!)
I am trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit PC but setup.exe fails due to a msxml3.dll error.
Following a big bundle of recent Windows 7 updates, I started getting 'bad image' msxml3.dll error messages when opening any CS5.5 master collection program (Eg Premiere / Photoshop / Illustrator / Dreamweaver). Following advice on some threads here I tried uninstalling and then using the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool to clean up install, then reinstalling from my original DVD media.
Whenever I try using run setup.exe from installtion disc 1 the installing fails due to 'Missing files'. I have also tried dowloading trial versions and runing setup.exe fro mthe downloaded files but i still get the same message.
I have searched the forum and others have experienced this error but none of the solutions I have found seem to be working for me - as many seem to relate to download installations whereas I am installing from original DVD media (which worked fine before on the same PC)
These are the FATAL messages from the PDApp log
12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154
12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Could not initialize ADXML object
12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Unable to initialize. Error parsing setup.xml file
The PDApp troubleshooting seems to indicate that this is caused by error in downloads but I am getting it with both original media DVD and downloads.
I have also tried using my logon (which has admin privileges) and under our main admin account - and I get the same errors.
Is a clean install of Windows 7 + CS5.5 my only option?
Any help / info / advice / solutions very much appreciated! I have spent the last 2 days trying to sort this out and seem to be getting nowhere.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply kglad - much appreciated.
I have already tried that option (along with downloading files) as it was one of the solutions mentioned on other threads, but that also failed.
Any other ideas?

Transferring movies from dvd or high8 tapes

Here is what I want to do:
I want to make a DVD with a slide show (from picures in iPhoto) and then also have some movie clips that I took years ago of my dog .
The original movies are on high8 tapes but play in my sonydigital camcorder.
I have successfully transfered from theses into imovie before.
Or is there a way to actually get those movies off of a DVD ( I burned those over from the high 8 into our separate DVD burner with no edits...I got lazy)
I think I am answering my own question but I believe the camcorder/high8 tape would be the best solution. ??
Also, some of the movies are bad...like for instance we had the backlight on in one of them and they are REALLY BRIGHT, my white dog looks like he is GLOWING!!! Is there some way to fix that kind of thing?
THANKS! for any help, my 13 year old buddy died 2 weeks ago and this I guess is my grieving process! Laura

Download and use either HandBrake or MPEG Streamclip (..more details here..) ..Just click on those blue links to download the software.
They look a bit fiddlier than Apple's own programs like iMovie, but they'll do the conversion from DVD-to-iMovie. You can then "..do some editing on imac or ???.."
Also, be sure to read Dan's encyclopaedic "Unofficial iMovie FAQ" here!

Transfering a file label from CS4 to CS5

I have photos in Bridge CS4 that are labeled in colors. I did change the name of the label from, e.g. Red to Printed, in CS4. When I open the folders that contain the photos in Bridge CS5 the label color is white. Is there a way to transfer the colors from CS4 to CS5???

In actual fact a label is just text. If you changed the "red" label in CS4 to "Printed" then you will have to make the same change in CS5. If the label text of the image does not match what was defined in the Bridge preferences then the label colour shows as white.

Getting data transfered from old HD to new ones, leaving 2 slots filled . .

Hello,
*(Below is a thread I started in another forum, but, didn't get my final questions answered (see at bottom of this post in BOLD), and am hoping for further help and suggestions. I know there is a lot to read here, but, I think this information will help other novices, such as myself. Thanks!)*
I have 2 new HDs (each 1T) uninstalled, and I have my old HD (160 gigs) currently residing in one of the two slots in my G5. Any ideas on the best way/process to get the data transfered from the old HD to the new ones, leaving my two slots filled with the 2 new drives AND my data from the old HD transfered and intact, with a RAID0 setup?
OR, are there any other suggestions on a good setup with the 2 new HDs??
I'm open to suggestions.
I always back-up on external HDs, so, is their a need for me to worry about setting up a RAID0??
I'm doing video processing for DVD release.
Should I just max out the 2x1T gig HDs and not worry about a HD failure??
All Suggestions welcomed!!
Thanks, Jack
*FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
You are limited with only 2 drive slots. In this scenario what usually works best is a small fast drive (eg Velocirapter or SSD) for OSX/Applications and a large drive for video files. It is not advisable to have the operating system running from a striped array.
Since you already have the drives, here is what you can do.
Install one new drive and format the partition you wish to use for OSX. You may not want to use the whole drive for OSX, so make 2 partitions. Be sure that it is GPT-formatted so it can boot.
Use CarbonCopy Cloner to copy your current OSX partition to the new one.
Set the startup disk as the new partition.
Remove the old drive and replace it with the second new one.
Reboot, and partition/format new drive.
*Hey Cutterman,*
Thanks for the advice. That sounds like a good set-up. I'll have to research the process of doing what you've advised, but, should work out ok:
A. Install one new drive and format the partition you wish to use for OSX. You may not want to use the whole drive for OSX, so make 2 partitions:
1. Partitions are done under Disc Utilities correct? Never done it before; will take a look.
B. Be sure that it is GPT-formatted so it can boot.
2. GPT is also done under Disc Utilities, correct? Here I start to get a bit confused, as I've formatted Extended Journal, SO, the partition with the OSX & Applications is formatted GPT, and the rest of the HD is formatted as Extended Journal?
C. Use CarbonCopy Cloner to copy your current OSX partition to the new one.
3. So, I partition the first new HD and use Carbon Copy Cloner (also under Disc Utilities) to copy the OSX & Applications from my original HD to the first new HD, correct?
D. Set the startup disk as the new partition.
4. This will be an option when I setup the partition???
E. Remove the old drive and replace it with the second new one.
F. Reboot, and partition/format new drive.
5. QUESTION: So, you recommend not striping the HDs: If I do a RAID 1, which sets up a mirror of the HDs, and since the first new HD is partitioned with the OSX & Applications, AND is set up as the Startup Disk, then the second new HD will also mirror that?? Another QUESTION: Even if the second new HD does not mirror the OSX & Applications, the second HD will only mirror the space/partition not utilized by the OSX & Applications partition, correct?
Thanks for your help!!
Jack
*FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
OK I will try to answer your questions. To begin, if you want to mirror the 2 drives then you will need to boot from the SL install DVD or an external (USB/firewire) drive to set it up. IMO for your purposes it is too much hassle and a waste of HD space.
1) Yes partitions are created in Disk Utility
2) Yes, you choose a volume Scheme (ie number of partitions) and size them by dragging the separator bar. Then select the planned boot partition and click Options..., then choose GPT. I think it is usually the default but check and make sure. Extended journaled is the usual format.
3) You need to download Carbon Copy. It is a free tool that will copy the entire image of your current system partition to the new one and make it bootable. Consider making a donation as it is a very useful and frequently updated utility. It is fairly intuitive to use. You can also use the restore feature in Disk Utility but I have had more experience with Carbon Copy.
4) Once the copy process is finished the new boot partition will show up under the startup disk selections (this tool is in System Preferences).
*FROM 666Sheep:*
If may i correct one thing: OP, don't choose GPT (GUID Partition Table). You got PPC Mac (G5), so valid partition type for you is Apple Partition Map (APM).
GPT is for Intel Macs and you will not able to boot from this kind of partition.
*FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
Thanks for the correction- my bad. No familiarity with non-Intel Macs.

*Hi All,*
*Since this process will come to a head on Tuesday/Wednesday, and I hope to be successful in transferring Old HD data to new HD/s.*
*A: I'm still a little foggy here, as I thought I'd set up the 2 new T-gig HDs so that if one of them failed, I'd still have the data backed up on the other HD; more ideas concerning this would be reassuring:*
*WHAT DOES "IMO" mean?*
*(IMO for your purposes it is too much hassle and a waste of HD space.)*
*As I understand the points made: After I partition the first new HD, and Carbon Copy data from old HD, I then install second new HD, and this will just act as an overflow from the first partitioned HD, correct? Because, if set up a Raid1/Mirror, the OSX partitioned portion of the first new HD will not copy to the second new HD, and that space on the second new HD will be wasted, correct?*
*Also: I have to set up RAID1 (if I do not set up RAID0), correct?*
*RAID 1*
*From WIKI: RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the disks, making a form of 1:1 ratio real time mirroring. The contents of each disk in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array. A RAID 1 array requires a minimum of two drives.*
*Carbon Copy is a free tool that will copy the entire image of your current system partition to the new one and make it bootable.*
*1. Is my old HD partitioned? Is that done automatically by MAC prior to PC purchase?*
*2. Do I Carbon Copy the whole old HD or just parts? (eg. OSX, Photo Shop, After Effects, Various Files)*
*3. I read that it is necessary to DEACTIVATE Photo Shop (I have CS3) prior to doing Carbon Copy. Is that correct? If so, does this also apply to other Adobe applications? Such as After Affects, Illustrator??*
*Thanks to all for the help!!*

Confusing Information:
A1: You also want to make sure the drive you are backing up to is formatted Mac HFS Extended (HFS+) if using Mac OS 8.1 or above.
A2: On PowerPC Macs, your clone should be partitioned as Apple Partition Map.
*Q? I thought the new HD (1T) should be formatted in Extended Journaled?*
B: Also disable Spotlight (in 10.4 only) on your destination drive using Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy to add the destination drive to the pane.
*Q? I'm using 10.4.11, so, I should follow these instructions?*
C: If possible, boot into safe mode to perform the backup (holding the SHIFT key at startup). In addition, you can clone while logged into another administrative user that you don't use at all to avoid further complications of changes which may be happening to your regular user (though don't use Fast User Switching to get into that other user, since that other user is still active when fast user switching is used). Otherwise you are going to be running a backup on a live system which could have changes happening while you are attempting to backup. These may yield an imperfect clone, with uncertain success at recovery. It may be possible that your clone will have its own hardware issues, so make at least two copies.

I recently had some 8mm film transferred to DVD. I am trying to edit the film clips using Premier Elements 4.0. so I can reburn the films on a single BluRay disc. Some of the film clips copy into the project but others don't. I tried copying the VOB filed onto my hard drive and then changing the file extensions on the VOB files to MPEG but this was no help. Some of the VOB files contain numerous film clips but my software does not appear to be able to recognize them as such. I need to know if replacing my old Premier Elements with the new Version 13 would solve this problem or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What do you have now.....
What computer operating system do you have?
We can go into the finer points of source and your intentions, but for now it would appear that you are using SD 4:3 source media to get to a HD 16:9 result. Lots to discuss in this regard.
What was given to you on the DVD disc? DVD-VIDEO 4:3 or something else?
If DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, you should expect to find on the disc a folder named VIDEO_TS. That is your target for your video files.
If you were given a DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc, then all you want from it are the video files, specifically
VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, and so on through that series until possibly getting to
VTS_02_1.VOB, and so on. How many files you have beyond the VTS_01_1.VOB file will depend on the size of the DVD-VIDEO.
Does the above scenario apply to you?
The alternative might be someone giving a DVD disc (data disc) which contains just the VTS files mentioned which were copied from
the VIDEO_TS Folder. So, you do not get the whole VIDEO_TS Folder, just the essential video files. Does this scenario apply to you.
I see no need to replace your Premiere Elements 4 with a later version unless you have a huge project and need a later version that will be a 64 bit application running specifically on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit computer.
Consider...Premiere Elements 4 and if you have DVD-VIDEO on DVD....
1. Place the DVD disc in the burner tray
2. Open Premiere Elements 4 and set the project preset for NTSC DV Standard (assuming you are working in a NTSC setup)
3. Go to
Get Media
"DVD, Digital Camera, Mobile Phone, Hard Drive Camcorder, Card Reader"
"Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" and its Advanced dialog.
Set the Source in the latter dialog for the drive which has your DVD disc inserted in its tray
You should see your VTS_01_1.VOB thumbnail in the "Adobe Premiere Elements - Media Downloader" Advanced dialog.
With this VOB selected, click on Get Media to get the file from there into the project.
Should work fine.
Complications may be involved if the people who processed your footage gave you something other what is described above.
Please review and consider, and then we can plan our project strategy accordingly.
Thank you.

How to get video from DVD into FCE?

Hi,
I have a DVD which I got from a childhood friend. The DVD contains a compilation of old film clips (her family had old super 8 movies transferred to DVD). I'm trying to import the clip (it's one long video clip, 30 mins long) into FCE for editing. But, when I try to import, all I see on the DVD is one file folder labeled VIDEO_TS; this folder contains eight files with strange suffixes, such as .IFO, .VOB, and .BUP, none of which are accessible. Anyone have any idea how I can get the files into Final Cut Express?
I would really appreciate any advice. Thank you.
Vic

Hi again, Martin. I did the 'conversion', and it appeared something was happening (i.e. a 'progress bar' showed that something was going on, and it took about 20 mins or so. So, I figured it was doing the conversion. Once done, a 'play' button appeared, but when I pressed it, nothing happened. Does that sound like I'm missing the MPEG2 Playback Component?
Note: I noticed during the conversion an indication that the file, about 2 gigs seemed to be being created, but for the life of me, I don't know where the file went (i.e. I don't know where (or even if) it was stored on my computer). Anyways, the process seems not to have worked. I guess, as you said, I'll need to purchase the Playback Component?
Thanks for your help.

Recording from DVD to iMovie.

Can I record from a DVD recorder/player either NTSC or PAL subject matter tranfered to a DVD into iMovie. This is not copyright material, but my own NTSC VHS tapes transfered to DVD. Do I need a converter box? What is the video format? Is this a possibiltity? I only have firewire in to the MAC. How do I do it?

Hello Alaner,
you don't need a converter box (although it's a possibility) but you can get the video off your DVD on your mac, converting it into something iMovie can handle

Not All Files Transferring From CD To HD - Why?

I want to copy data from a series of 23 discs of clipart onto my HD in order to then transfer them over to 3 or 4 DVDs for practical reasons of space and ease of retrieval.
Here are the steps I take:
*Open CD-ROM. From that disk, I select all directories I need, leaving only 'trash' and 'desktop' unselected and drag them into my selected HD directory.
*Wait for copying process to complete (or for the 'copying....' progress window to disappear).
*Insert next disk and repeat.
Now, when I open up the HD location of the files, I find that while all of the directories have copied across, not all of the information contained therein has copied across. In some cases I see none of the files have transferred and in others, only some.
Any idea what may be causing this problem? There are far too many subdirectories to have to check each and every one. This requirement would negate the time savings found by transferring onto DVDs in the first place.
Thanks in advance.

This should help you out some:

CSS for background image not transfering from template to new page

I have a gradient .gif in my templates which suddenly no longer transfers from the template to a new page created from the template. Everything else about the template transfers. I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 on a Mac running OS 10.6. I've pasted the CSS from the template and the new page below. I've tried the usual voodoo--restart program, restart computer, repair permissions, delete preference file, delete personal configuration file.
CSS from Template:
.container {
    background-color: #ececec;
    background-image: url(../images/faux_column.png);
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    height: 650px;
    width: 650px;
CSS from page created from Template looks to be the same, but is greyed out in the code, and the background-image entry is not present in the CSS styles inspector:
.container {
    background-color: #ececec;
    background-image: url(../images/faux_column.png);
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    height: 650px;
    width: 650px;
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, I don't yet have a site where I can post the page. I'm new to this, and doing everything locally for now.
After careful rechecking, I found that the links for the template and the child were not the same, as you suspected. So I carefully changed the links to site root relative, which worked for the background CSS in my test image. I then did the same for all of the links to pages on my site, and checked that all were OK with Link Checker in DW. I guess that was a mistake, because now most of them don't work when tested in Firefox--I get the message File not found. Must be doing something wrong.
