URGENT -How to get iMovie film, off a DVD & back into iMovie!!

I have made and burnt an iMovie onto a DVD. I can play the movie back through the iDVD player, but I want to load it back into iMovie.
OR, ideally, I want to upload the movie (4mins) onto Facebook or Youtube - but there are just random files comig up - nothing export.
When I drag the DVD icon onto my iMovies events, it says its not an iMovie, and not compatible.
We have a live TV launch this evening and this was supposed to be the promo video on FB.
HELP!!!!!

Import DVD back into iMovie

I made a homemade DVD using iMovie/iDVD - this was 6 years ago
- I didn't save any content.
I want to import the video of the DVD back into iM - how do I do it?
I also want to upload it to youtube.
thanks

Hi
My list on this.
*DVD back for futhur editing*
A. don't put a mini DVD into Your Mac unless it’s a trayloaded DVD burner/reader
B. iMovie’08 prob. 09 can import from DVD (homemade without copyprotection)
C. Read what Karsten collected.
D. I prefere one of two
• Copy to miniDV tape from set-top DVD-player --> Camera -or-
• Roxio Toast™ - Can back convert to streamingDV for iMovie or FinalCut
DVD back to iMovie.
.. and here the complete 'full 9 yards' ... .
//discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3822853&#3822853
DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and
made for any processing as editing... or, as honorable forum member
QuicktimeKirk stated. I use the analogy of the old Polaroid
"instant" cameras. Push the button, wait for the print to develop and
show it off. ..
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$) + Streamclip (free)
• Cinematize >60$
• Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
• Toast 6/7/8/9/10 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
• Drop2DV (free) a free tool claiming to convert DVDs into dv-stream...
• Use iSquint for your conversions . www.iSquint.org
from. Bobby Keene
none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

Bring dvd back into imovie to re-edit?

I made an imovie - successfully brought it into idvd - and burned a dvd. I showed it to my client and they wanted some changes. When I made the changes I saved a copy of the project (64 GB) which filled up my remaining hard drive space to capacity. I deleted the old movie to make room but the NEW movie (with my new edits) won't open (must not have fully saved properly...). So now I have nothing to work from. The only thing I can think of is to try to bring the .dv file back into imovie from the dvd I burned...will this work? Can I edit? Is it encrypted?

You will need to convert the DVD back into a DV file for imovie.

Import DVD back into iMove

I burned an iMovie slideshow in toast onto a DVD.
Apple then replaced my HD.
I lost the project on my HD,and a lot more stuff.
How can I import the project back into iMove from the DVD?
I keep geting a error message. When I try.

You need to use an application that will convert MPEG 2 video to .mov or DV. There are many that do this including Toast 7, Cinematize, MPEG Streamclip or QuickTime Pro with the Quicktime MPEG 2 Component, DVDxDV and many others.

How 2 get edited photo from iphoto app back into iPhoto?

I have the new iPhoto app.
I can't seem to get my edit photos back into iPhoto on my imac.
I thought save to iTunes would do it but it doesn't seem to do anything.
Sure would like to just go back to my mac and find the photo updated.
I have the photo stream turned off and just sync with a cable.
Problem 2
The photos and albums seem to be in random order. This makes it almost impossible to find the photo I want to edit.
Can anybody please help?

<If you are using the cable: Connect your iPad > open iPhoto > select your iPad on the left under devices > Import <button top right of iPhoto (blue button).
<
<Do not import through iTunes.
Sorry - that was no help.
If I edit a photo in e iPhoto app then connect and bring up iPhoto on my mac the iPad device has no photos to import.
I have imported hundreds of photos from iPhones and iPads - I know how to import.
Even if there was a photo laying there to import - that is not what I want because...
Imagine if I had 100 photos then edited all 100 photos on my iPad.
Then if I imported them I would now have 200 photos in iPhoto on my mac.
I want the edited photo to update the original just as tho I edited it in iPhoto on my mac.
So I could "Revert to Original" if I needed to but probably never would.
So the question is when you share to iTunes where does it go?
Also the new album it creates "Edited" - What's the story on that?

HT3737 How do I move photos off my desktop & back into iPhoto?

I have multiple photos sitting on my desktop. If I move them to the trashcan on the dock, will they be deleted from iphoto?

The photos originated from iphoto and were dragged onto my desktop. I was then dragging them to the trash when I didn't need them there anymore. Somehow I lost some of the photos and cannot find them on iphoto. But you are saying tht if they were originally imported into iphoto, then dragging them into trash will not delete them from iphoto?

How to put movie from disc back into imovie?

Hi, I have just put a disc that I created using iMovie and iDVD back into my G4 using Disc Utility. Seems easy to burn an exact copy, but I would like to get the movie on the disc back into iMovie so I can edit it further and make it part of a new iDVD project. Is this possible?
Thanks
Chris

Hi, Christine,
Yes, you can do it. See this for some help/suggestions as to what to use and how to do it: http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68b7d7a6
You will lose some quality but it may not be so much to bother you.
You should always save your finished movies back to the camcorder DV tape. That way, you can always reimport that footage into any new iMovie project.
Either way, you will not be able to do the tight editing as you could on the original iMovie, but you can certainly add it to other movies, insert new movies, and delete some portions of your first movie. Remember that the audio you added as separate tracks will now be incorporated into the video and will not appear as separate tracks under the video.
Hope this is helpful!

Can I import DVD's into imovie HD

Here is my question. I have recently had some photos taken of myself and the photographer gave me an actual DVD (like a movie that you can watch on a real DVD player) of the proofs in a slide show. I would like to post this movie (it's short) on my iweb website but can not figure out a way to import the DVD into imovie HD so I can then make it smaller for use in iweb. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hello Jonathan,
you will have to convert the files contained in the DVD to a format readable by Quicktime. Normally you would convert the DVD to full quality DV format but as you are going to post it on the web, consider resizing it (e.g. 320x240) and using a suitable codec (e.g. Sorensen3 or MPEG-4). A movie in DV format would be too large a file to view online.

I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion. Then I found out it was not compatible with my HP Printer (HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one) so I called Apple support and the tech told me to erase the hard drive instead of going in the time machine. Well I did that and then it took about three hours three days a week for about three weeks on the phone with an apple tech to get all my stuff back on my computer. I have had trouble with my printer (won't do the scan anymore and wasn't printing on my DVDs. Also the computer keeps freezing up when it is in the sleep mode, etc.
When I tried to list my problem on this forum it lists your OS at the bottom and mine had Mountain Lion listed as what I was using so apparently it didn't erase it. Want to know how to get Mountain Lion off and put my Snow Leopard on so things start working right.

Go to the  menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
Revert to a Previous OS X
Revert to Snow Leopard
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

How do I get my music off the iPod back onto my computer after a crash....?
Restore the music form your most recent hard drive backup.
You do make backups of your hard drive, right?
There has to be a way.
There's many ways. If you search the forums, you'll find dozens of solutions. You can use the search box in the upper right portion of the discussions website.
Other wise what's the point of the ** thing.
It's an audio player... not a backup device.
If you rely on your iPod as a backup of your music.. then you are misusing the device. It's not intended to be used in this manner. Apple makes it difficult to get music off the iPod as a method to hinder music piracy.
