Uploading movie from DVD to my hard drive

I have a movie on DVD that I want to put onto my hard drive.
How do I take it from the disc to the hard drive on my computer.
I am using Nero 12.

All legit DRM compliant CD/DVD/Bluray software such as Nero, are incapable of "ripping" commerially made, copy protected movies. Bypassing copy protection is beyond the scope of this forum and will not be discussed.
Please see the Nero 12 Support Knowledge Base or the Official Nero Forum for information on using your Nero product.
Please send KUDOS

Home movies from DVD to Mac hard drive

I am an absolute neophyte at playing with video files. I have some VHS camcorder home movies from when my kids were little. A few months ago I asked the local photo shop to copy the videotapes onto DVDs. Now I'd like to save those videos as computer files on my mac, both to preserve them and (some day) edit them. I can't seem to figure out how to do this and any advice would be most welcome.
A week or so ago I tried Handbrake and it only copied a few seconds of video with audio that didn't match. Their support forum had something about using DVDtoOne but I couldn't understand what that was supposed to do so I didn't try it.
Yesterday I downloaded a trial copy of DVDxDV and asked it to make a file compatible with NTCS, Quicktime and iMovie. It seems that it worked wonderfully. However, the file it created from a two hour DVD is more than 25GB! I can't reasonably keep files that huge on my hard drive.
Is there a way to compress the file so that it is more like the size of the original DVD and still preserve the quality? (Maybe Quicktime Pro?)
Or, is there a better way to proceed so that I can preserve/edit these DVD files?
Thanks,
Perry

Moreover, you could try Handbrake.
Handbrake is a software that converts DVD to any format you specify, and it does rely on the popular ffmpeg Unix program. (In fact, I bet most conversion software do rely on ffmpeg...).
I garantee Handbrake is not another of those programs, commonly called thing like DVD2iPod (I don't mean to harm this software if it does really exist) or DVDRIPMAGIX, or well... you know.
So, in Handbrake, there's a list of presets from which you can choose to convert the video to. You should perhaps leave it to Normal (which will encode it to a .mp4 movie, thus rendering you with a far lesser file than 25GB).
Of course, the 25GB you were prompted is an uncompressed file, like DV format is. It is used for editing from uncompressed source, but you are coming from a DVD, which is in the base, not an uncompressed source as far as I know. Thus explaining why the movie on the DVD is not 25GB.
I hope all this will be useful to you!

I want to move my movies from itunes on the hard drive to the cloud but dont know how

I want to move my movies from itunes on the hard drive to the cloud but dont know how

Are these movies you purchased thru iTunes?

Need to transfer home movies from iPhone to external hard drive.

Need to transfer home movies from iPhone to external hard drive. The movies were created with Flip Video, not iPhone. I can see and watch them via iTunes but have not figured out how to move them from iPhone to hard drive. iPhone is broken (screen) and locked, but is still connecting to iTunes. I have backed up all photos/videos created with the iPhone, just need to figure out how to get these last videos off the phone. They are very important. I am working off a Windows XP machine. No, the camera wizard will not work for this as these videos are not stored in that area of the phone.
Thanks,
E

This is what I have done so far and stuck again.
I opened Image capture plugged in IPhone. Device brought up camera roll pics only.
I was able to send them to the external hard drive. Now they have green checks marks. I cannot seem to remove them. Don't want to delete them yet to put into folder for having prints made..
Devices showed IPhone but would only show camera roll I have two other folders and cannot seem to go to them to show up on the device one is Photo library has 300+ pics and
last import folder. I would like to take the 300 also from the Photo library and also copy them or move them to the external hard drive.
What step am i missing , please help.
thank you

How do i move movies from my apple tv hard drive

My apple tv hard drive is full. i want to move my media to another hard drive so i can download more media. how do i do it?

where did the content on the appletv originate from ?
did you purchase it direct from the appletv or did you sync it from itunes?
if it was purchased using the appletv then right click on the appletv in itunes and choose "transfer purchased content"
if it was synced from itunes then amend your sync settings.

Uploading photos from cam to external hard drive with I photo

I have my computer set up to have photos on external hard drive, with I photo library. when I plug my SD card in, and I photo uploads, it puts them directly on to my computer, rather then my external HD.
1. How do I change settings so it defaults my downloads to EHD
2. How do I transfer those photos back onto my hard drive from one Iphoto library to the next?
3. How do I copy photos from i photo to a separate folder?

I have my computer set up to have photos on external hard drive, with I photo library. when I plug my SD card in, and I photo uploads, it puts them directly on to my computer, rather then my external HD.
I'm not clear - do you have multiple iPhoto libraries or are you trying to use a referenced library (not recommended) with the referenced photos on the external drive?
1. How do I change settings so it defaults my downloads to EHD
To set the default iPhoto library depress the option key and launch iPhoto - select the iPhoto library you want as the default
2. How do I transfer those photos back onto my hard drive from one Iphoto library to the next?
The easiest way to move photos with all of their associated metadata between libraries is using iPhoto library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/
3. How do I copy photos from i photo to a separate folder?
select the photos and export (file menu ==> export) them

Hard Drive Dead. How do I upload songs from Ipod to new hard drive?

The hard drive on my computer crashed, and I had to buy a new one. Unfortunately, I did not have the old drive backed up and lost all my data, including my Itunes library - $90 or so in purchased ITune songs plus a tonn of songs from my CD collection. So, I now have my stagnant Ipod and am unable to expand its library without starting from scratch.
Is there a way to upload my entire library from my 30G Ipod to my new computer, running ITunes 7.02 (or the latest software edition I just downloaded)?
HELP!!!

Well I guess the lesson learned is BACK UP! Don't let it happen to you again. To answer your questions...

Installing from DVD to New Hard Drive

I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro, and a new 500 gig hard drive to use in it. The new hard drive is mounted using a hard drive dock. While attempting to install Snow Leopard on the new hard drive from the MacBook Pro's DVDs, I get the following message:
"Snow Leopard cannot be installed on this computer."
Is there any way to install a fresh version of Snow Leopard onto this new hard drive from these DVDs?

First prep your drive as follows:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Upon completion quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.

Thanks for that, it was really helpful.
Glad to hear that worked for you. While formatting an external drive with a Mac format is best if it will be used only with a Mac, if the files on the drive have to be accessible to a PC also, it's possible to format it in an exFAT format, which both the Mac and a PC can read from and write to. However, if you do that, do the actual formatting while the external is connected to the PC.

Can't move a movie from Mac to external hard drive

Hi community!
I have troubles with moving already finished movies from my mac to an external harddrrive. My ext. hard drive is 2 TB so space is not an issue. When I try to move my movie-file (15,77 GB) to my ext. hard drive it says:
"The item “(title)” can’t be copied because it is too large for the volume's format"
This is really a problem. I want to share the movie with my family since it is their holiday that I clipped together. Can anyone help me out?
Best regards,
Sune

A FAT32 drive can't store files which are 4GB or larger. You need to reformat or repartition the drive to include an exFAT, NTFS, or Mac OS Extended volume, or use a different drive, or use a way other than an external drive to transfer it.

Saving from DVD to my hard drive?

A friend sent me a DVD of her kids being interviewed on the local news channel. I'd like to save the clip to my hard drive. I've looked at both iMovie and iDVD but neither of them seems to be appropriate for my situation. All suggestions gratefully accepted

Ok, does it play using the DVD player application? If so, then you have video that is in the format that DVD players understand called MPEG-2. Look at the contents of the DVD using finder. Do you see VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders? If so, simply copy those 2 folders somewhere to your hard drive in a new folder. Then you can use the DVD player application to play the video by opening the folder that the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folder are in.

How can i transfer itune movie from compuer to external hard drive

I am trying to transfer my itune movies to an external drive in order to free space in my MAC hard drive, can someone help me with this task? thank you

Just movies, or the whole library? The whole library is easy:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
Just movies can be done with more effort and routine upkeep on your part. There's various solutions depending upon how organized you are and details on the results you desire.

I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac. How do I do this? Where do I put these files on my Time Capsule? Will it affect the functioning of my Time Capsule?

Mixing files with data is not always great idea.
See info here.
Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Why not just connect the PC directly to the TC by ethernet and copy the files over?
It is hugely faster and much less mucking around.
In windows load the airport utility for windows.. if you have not already as this will help you access the drive.
There is more info here.

How do I move a file from Icloud to my hard drive?

How do I move a file from Icloud to my hard drive?

From the appropriate application (eg, Pages, TextEdit, etc) find your file(s) in iCloud (use File - Open), then highlight (you can multiple-select) the files you want to move, and drag them to your desktop or another Finder location.
