Using iMovie 08 - importing a non commercial DVD that is 1 hr 30 long - a concert. When imported it is divided into 5min clips as default. I need to be able to choose the length of the clips as often intros of songs/ends are being seperated. Thoughts?

The movie (which is a concert) is being divided automatically into 5 min clips when imported. This inevitabley separates some intros and endings from the main part of a song. Is there a way to manually choose clip lengths before importing into iMovie - or sticking clips back together to create my own events or chapters?
I have copied the DVD of the concert onto my desktop using disk utility creating a .dmg file.
Complete novice with video - but would prefer not to have to spend money on a different programme if possible.

Error in Copying a non-commercial DVD using Disk Utility

I have a non-commercial DVD. I am using Disk Utility to make an image and reproduce the DVD. It consistently runs through the cycle and at the very end I get a dialog box:
STOP "Input/Output Error"
Any ideas? I really would like to make back up copies of this video event.
I have used this method before to copy non-commercial DVDs
Thanks

Can't create disk image of non-commercial DVD

I am trying to create a disk image of a 3.7 Gb non-commercial DVD instructional video using disk utility.
I can only get about 70 per cent of the way through before the reading/writing of the DVD content freezes for a few minutes, and then I get the message:
"unable to create -- copy.cdr - input/output error."
I have tried repeatedly on both my MacBook and desktop Imac with no ability to clone an image of this DVD. (Same results when I try to do the same thing with Roxio Toast 8.)
Are there any workarounds or perhaps a method of determining definitively if the source DVD is copy-protected ? Otherwise, what is causing these repeated input/output errors ? ? ?

I'm giving up on this particular DVD, not worth any more time tryin different permutations that al seem to fail.
I would have thought someone would have been able to write a software program that will copy ANY DVD --even one with errors in file names etc, since that's what copying routines are supposed to do. This DVD I am trying to copy plays just fine on the Mac, auto-starting DVD player when it is inserted and there are no problems wth either audio or video thru multiple chapters. So the disk can't be THAT bad if it is supposedly error-prone. and yet I get errors when trying to make a simple mirror image of this dame DVD. Go figure ????
If it has such terrible errors, why does it play fine on the Mac and on our living room DVD player as well ??
How do I copy it ??? - "errors" and all . Is there software that will ignore "errors" and just copy the darn thing errors and all ?
this is a very confusing business of too many conflicting standards I guess.

Im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player. i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5

im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player. i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5.
after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie. after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov. i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players. what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player. can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export. im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time. please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto. thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players. thank you again for your reply *=)

I can't get a proper connection to my Epson R1800 printer. I need to be able to choose Paper type and size. It keeps saying that the downloads are fine, but the System Library Extensions SMC1255TX.kext aren't working?

Dear sweet Apples, that know all the answers...
I can't get a proper connection to my Epson R1800 printer. I get the basics , but I need to be able to choose paper sizes and paper Types.
It keeps saying that the downloads went fine, but then it says that the System/Library/Extensions cannot be used because SMC1255TX.kext
isn't working. My downloads are useless as a result

Did you restart the printer?

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

ITunes - needs to be able to overwrite the PC

iTunes - needs to be able to overwrite the PC - this is especially helpful if syncing an iPhone with 2 desktops (I have a PC and a MAC) - there are always some (frankly) rubbish errors generated which I would like to override. Perhaps Apple and Microsoft could agree on a basic set of rules for Calendar and Contacts - like the fields and the definition of an all day event. Then this would not be needed. However - syncing a Mac, a Win7 PC with Outlook and an iPhone4 is a nightmare - and I often get ten or fifteen duplicates of all day events and recurrent events going back 10 years and for ever into the future - can't you two please grow up as organisations and help me/us users by standardising?

There are Craigslist apps that are nice, but trying using copy paste. Go to your photos, select the photo. Hold down your finger on it to copy. Then in the body of the post, hold down your finger and select paste.

I need to be able to export the data from health kit and read it in something. Anything.

I've tried pretty much everything from Excel to downloaded and online apps. I'm done downloading crap to my brand new computer. My problem is that I need to be able to export the data into a readable format so that I can give it to my dr(s). Is there ANY WAY that this is possible? I'm kind of at my wits end here. All help/suggestions are appreciated.
What I've done:
1. Exported data. It creates an xml file that can be opened in excel but gives raw data that no one but egghead developers can read (and I use that term in the best possible way.)
2. Tried to download an excel add on. Didn't work.
3. Tried several online applications. Same result as Excel.
Somehow this data has to be able to be read by someone other than myself, on my phone.
Thanks to one and all for the many, many suggestions that I'm about to get.

The only way out of Premiere Elements 11 is via export in video format (except for jpegs or audio under Publish+Share/Computer/Image or audio).
The video is whole, not in a project file (project.prel).
And, the Premiere Elements 11 project.prel does not appear to be an After Effects supported project format

I just downloaded iCloud on my PC and noticed that fewer than half of my photo stream photos have transferred over to my PC. Why is this happening and how can I get the remaining photos? All of my devices are charged and have perfect internet signals.

I just downloaded iCloud on my PC and noticed that fewer than half of my photo stream photos have transferred over to my PC. Why is this happening and how can I get the remaining photos? All of my devices are charged and have perfect internet signals. Thanks in advance for any tips and insights!

It's probably happing because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted). When you enabled photo stream on your PC you would have only received photos from the last 30 days.
To transfer older photos to your computer, create a shared photo stream that contains them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).
