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.

How to import universal disk format into imovie

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

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...

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!

MPEGStreamClip 192 with Quicktime MPEG2 plugin purchased from the Apple store. The latest version is Dec 7, 2008.
Or use Handbrake 093 for intel/Leopard. Its free.

2nd gen shuffle disk format FAT32 on a mac?

Guys,
my incredibly stable quad g5 has gone "nuts" since I've had my 2nd gen shuffle. It hangs, won't mount external USB drives if the 2nd gen shuffle is docked during startup, lots of other really weird things.
The shuffle was delivered to my work, so the shuttle was 1st connected to a Windows box, but just to charge it fully.
when the shuffle is connected to the quad, it only actually shows in iTunes about 25% of the time... whether or not it shows up in iTunes, I can see an "iPod" on the USB bus. I've got lots of USB 2.0 powered ports... changing ports doesn't make a difference at all.
according to iTunes, the software version is 1.01, which was updated from the shipping 1.00 while connected to the Windows machine. (this might have been a bad thing to do)
when the shuffle is connected to iTunes, despite the fact that the checkbox allow disk access, most of the time I still see the shuttle mounted as a drive volume. When it doesn't show up, I can still see the drive briefly mount and unmount if I toggle settings or do anything with the shuttle.
obviously, I've tried restore(s) from the quad, which resets the contents of the shuttle but doesn't change the disk format.
the shuttle itself operates as expected, it's only while it's docked to the quad that all heck breaks loose...
Any ideas???
Thanks

ah... well, I've already restored one of the times that it was connected to a proper 2.0 powered USB port.
the first time, it wouldn't come back from the reflashed state, ie it didn't reconnect to iTunes...
I disconnected, it had no songs on it, but it seemed to work... after a number of attempts to dock, it finally did, and I pumped a bunch of song over to it and it worked...
I then retried that sequence and the update worked fine.
it's still a strange beast. for example... although no disk access is allowed, it still mounts a shuffle icon onto the desktop, just no folders are visible... strange...
I've chosen to downsample to 128kbit AAC, and I'm not having iTunes autofill the shuffle. I unselected the downsample option and clicked apply. one would think that the data on the shuffle would stay as is. Nope, it wiped the shuffle and tried to put the songs that were there back on the shuffle at the original bitrates, which of course don't fit. Reselect the downsample option, click apply, and it repeats the wipe of the shuffle, and is now (again) downsampling and sending to the shuffle. Since it's on the keyboard USB port right now, this is taking quite a while.
I'll def try on other machines, and indeed without the USB drives mounted, ah, sorry, can't really do that on the quad... the iTunes library is on one of the external USB drives...
anyway, I get what you want me to try... it might be tomorrow before I can repeat the sequence enough times to say something conclusive. This has been going on for a few days already... I've restarted the quad more times since Thursday than I have in the last year!
I'm not panicking yet, but am extremely curious what is causing this problem.
Once again, thanks... I try some more tests and post back

I deleted photobooth by accident and i have tried to get it back with the setup disk, i got imovie and garageband back but not photobooth. Any ideas?

i deleted photobooth by accident and i have tried to get it back with the setup disk, i got imovie and garageband back but not photobooth. Any ideas?

PhotoBooth is not on the iLife disk which has iMovie and Garage Band. PhotoBooth is integrated into OSX, so it's not going to be easy to get back. You'll need to get it from the recovery disk or partition. Which OSX are you using so we can point you in the right direction. NEVER delete any of the OSX programs.

Change from case-sensitive disk format to the normal Mac OS Extended.

Hi,
I need to change from a case-sensitive disk format to the normal Mac OS Extended Journaled version.
I have no external HD fitted, but I do have some DVD-Rs. I need to restore the data from 2 users, including iTunes and iPhoto files.
What's the best way to achieve this?
Many thanks,
Tris.

I just got off of the phone with Adobe support. They told me they knew the solution, but that they would not tell me tonight. I had to call back between 6:00 am and 5:00 PM tomorrow. That does not work with my schedule. So I googled some stuff and found that Adobe CS 3 is not supported with Case-Sensitive file systems. So OK, let me install this to my other MAC that has a non case sensitive drive. Same error. Even though I have a non case-sensitive drive, the OS is on a Case-Sensitive Drive and I am never prompted where to install like most all other Mac Software.
I have always formatted case-sensitive. So I am thinking to myself why not start using a non case-sensitive drive. Well, to start off I want it case sensitive. I enjoy web programming and like this feature. Sure it is not needed, but I am glad Apple offered me a choice. And I am sure there are many other reasons why to use it. Also I would be interested in knowing why non case-sensitive drives are supperior.
Why is this a requirement now? I have used Adobe software in the past without this specific issue. I also have Large TB drives and do not know how to 'safely' do this. You will not catch me jumping through this hoop. I will not risk the change to the file system. And I can not be expected to format my drive. I just wonder what Adobe would say tomorrow if I called.
The Direct line I was given by adobe is 800-642-3623 for support on this issue. You don't need anything else but to call this number and ask. You can not get through after hours though.
Wow, I just can't believe this and the lack of interest Adobe had with me.
I hope I can get a refund on the software. Until I am able to downgrade my file system format, I do not want to sit on Adobe's bill. I will buy it again assuming I learn I can't do without PS CS3.

Extreme hard disk formats

Is exFat supported for the disk sharing in the airport extreme,
I want to keep the disk format in a readable form for windows and mac, this a external hard drive that i carry with me sometimes for file sharing.
I know Fat32 is supported, But this limits me to copying files to it that can be no larger than 4gig. I don't know if any of the mac formats will be supported in windows.
Basically the question is, what format can i use for disc sharing that is support on both mac and windows when plugged in directly via usb and the airport extreme can support. Also without file size limitations?

Is exFat supported for the disk sharing in the airport extreme
No, exFAT (aka FAT64) formatted HDDs are not supported by the AirPort when connected by USB for file sharing. As you are probably already aware, the AirPort File Server will only work with drives, formatted in: FAT16/FAT32 or HFS+. Note: Regardless of format, the AirPort will use both the SMB & AFP file sharing protocols to share out the drive to Windows, Linux, or OS X clients.
I want to keep the disk format in a readable form for windows and mac, this a external hard drive that i carry with me sometimes for file sharing.
The only option for this would be FAT32. However, the AirPort works best with HFS+ and you can mount HFS+ volumes on Windows with third-party solutions. One example is: Paragon Software's HFS for Windows

Hi,
Probably you were not connected.
Try:
connect target /;
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/ora_backup/backupset/%F';
My output on the last command:
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/ora_backup/backupset/%F';
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored

Disk format error on restore

I have just started to have problems with my ipod 20g (4th gen) it all started with the ipod taking ages to start playing, it also wouldn't skip to the next track. The folder logo appeared and told me to go to the apple web site, I did what the site told me ie reset the ipod, but now find my computer will recognize the drive but I-tunes wont.
I tried a restore with the updater but this has just come up with a message that said "disk format error"
I can play song's through my ipod still but if I try to skip to another track then it takes ages to play the next track.

Thanks for all the help.
I have tried disk check and tried to reformat the drive via windows but it just came up with a "disk format error"? Im thinking the drive must be faulty!
Last night my computer and I-Tunes finally recognised the ipod but I couldnt play any of the tracks in I-tunes as it kept bringing up the ! sign?
The ipod let me play songs this morning but in-between the tracks it played about a second of other tracks not on that album??
Its also really unresponsive, and sometimes when I select a song it wont play the song just skip to the next one, then not play that one and skip to the next etc etc
Thanks again for all the help any thoughts would be appreciated
Cheers
Andy

Video: MOV/H.264 format for iMovie

For years I have used a Sony HandyCam with digital tape, inside of a Sony underwater housing to do underwater video. Great quality and editing it in iMovie is a piece of cake. I have had no compatability issues. Trouble is hauling the housing, the tapes, etc. I am thinking about buying an Olympus TG-2 IHS which records in MOV/H.264 format. One camera to do it all.
I am concerned about editing in iMovie since this format is a compressed format versus the digital tape. Does anyone have any experience to share with this format in iMovie?

That will require conversion to a format that iMovie can use, which will give slight quality loss.
You forgot to mention what Mac you have, what verisons of OS X and iMovie, so:
iMovie 11 - cameras supported:

Best clip format for iMovie 8?

I have a few .avi clips from a Nikon CoolPix which load alright into iMovie, but they take a long time to load. Is there a better format for iMovie and should I convert the clips to that format?
Thank you,
ray

iM is meant by concept for camcorder imports.
its internal codec is appeleintermediate.
I doubt, a 'manual' conversion is faster than iM's.
but give it a try, a popular (and free) tool is Mpeg Streamclip
