Video DVD's

I am trying to make a watchable video of a show that I have downloaded on iTunes. It is a show that both my father and I enjoy, but he is computer illiterate and could never figure out how to watch them on his home computer.
Is there a program I can use to convert these to a burnable format? iTunes only does data DVD's, which will not play in his DVD player.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

That is not possible with in itunes. Might want to check this out as a alternative.

  • GX660 DVD drive will not play video DVDs

    For some reason the DVD drive in my GX660 refuses to recognise video DVD discs.
    DVDs with binary data and audio CDs will be read fine, but inserting a video DVD --any video DVD-- just results in an enormous amount of seeking sounds from the drive before Windows 7 finally gives up on it a reports the drive as empty.
    I've had the GX660 for just under a year, during which time the DVD drive has been used very sparingly -- maybe for the installation of no more than a dozen programs.  Never been used for burning DVDs or CDs. Never been used for reading video DVDs which is why I discover it at this late date.
    Any ideas concerning this issue, before I turn in the laptop for service?  I'd rather not have to.

    In your shoes I'd contact MSI and see if there's a firmware update for the drive to correct the issue. >>How to contact MSI.<<

  • Import home video DVD's into iMovie

    I want to import my home video DVD's into iMovie for editing and backup. What is the best way to do this? I have already tried creating a disk image, but somehow when I open these images with iMovie, some parts of the original video are missing. (for example the video on DVD is 60 minutes, but the video opened on iMovie is 50 minutes). I also tried to convert to MPEG 2 using MPEG Streamclip, and purchased the MPEG2 Playback component from Apple Store, but it turns out that this component was intended for earlier versions of OS X, so I could not even install it. I am currently at a lockdown, please help me out!!!

    There are directions on the MPEG Streamclip website on how to get the MPEG2 Playback component installed on your computer (I'm assuming your running Mac OS X 10.7). I'm cutting and pasting them here in case someone else runs into the same problems.
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
    Also read the information for Snow Leopard below.
    Snow Leopard and MPEG-2 Playback Component
    The Snow Leopard upgrade DVD released on August 28, 2009 may wipe the content of the /System/Library/QuickTime folder during the upgrade process, and delete your MPEG-2 Playback Component installed in that folder. To use MPEG-2 files with MPEG Streamclip you have to reinstall the MPEG-2 component or restore it from a backup copy.
    If you are going to upgrade to Snow Leopard
    Open the /System/Library/QuickTime folder and drag the QuickTimeMPEG2.component file to your desktop to make a copy of it. Then upgrade to Snow Leopard. When the upgrade is complete, open the /System/Library/QuickTime folder again and move the QuickTimeMPEG2.component file from the desktop to the /System/Library/QuickTime folder (enter your administrator password if necessary).
    If you already upgraded to Snow Leopard
    You have to reinstall or restore your MPEG-2 Playback Component.
    If you have a Time Machine backup of your System folder, then open the /System/Library/QuickTime folder, enter Time Machine and go back in time until you see the QuickTimeMPEG2.component file; select that file and then click Restore.
    If you purchased the MPEG-2 Playback Component from the Apple Online Store, then you probably still have the DMG file that contains the installer. Use Spotlight to search for "QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg": if you find a file with that name, double-click it and then in the disk image, double-click the installer package for Intel Macs.
    If you purchased the MPEG-2 Playback Component from the Apple Online Store but you can't find the QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg file, you can download the file again from the Apple Online Store if you remember the Apple ID used when you originally purchased it (if you forgot your Apple ID then go to Apple iforgot). Visit the Apple Online Store, click on "Account" in the store menu, then click "Downloadable Software Purchases," enter your Apple ID and password, and click the link to the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component to download it again.
    If you obtained the MPEG-2 Playback Component from the installation of Final Cut Studio, then you can reinstall it again from the Final Cut Studio DVD. Insert the DVD and use the Finder's Go menu > Go To Folder... command to get to the /Volumes/Final Cut Studio/Installer/Packages/ folder inside the DVD. Locate the QuickTimeMPEG2.pkg or the QuickTimeMPEG2Pro.pkg installer: double-click it to reinstall the MPEG-2 component.

  • The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer - Finalized video DVD

    Suddenly I have not been able to watch video DVD’s on my MacPro OS x 10.5.8 that I have recorded with my Panasonic DVR.  I am also not able to read some data DVDs.  I am able to read other data DVD’s and all the data CD’s I’ve tried.  My PowerBook G4 is able read and play all these disks including the video DVD’s recorded on my DVR.
    I use my DVR to record TV programs off the air and to transfer home movies from my camcorder to DVD.  I finalize the disk and then watch it later on my MacPro.  I also use the DVD as a way to get home movies into iMovie for editing.
    I’ve had no problems in the 3 years I’ve been doing this.  Now when I insert a video DVD recorded with my DVR I get the following message:
    “The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer”
    Before this happened I watched a commercially produced DVD movie on my MacPro for the first time.  I suspect this DVD changed something in my MacPro’s DVD player.
    Is there a way to get my MacPro back to the state where it will read a DVD video I have recorded on my DVR?  Is there a way to use Time Machine to revert back in time before the problem started?  I am using an external drive with Time Machine for backup.
    Thanks.  Bob

    I have a panasonic dvr pretty similar to yours, I hope (DMR EH55) and to transfer stuff to dvd, you have to change the drive over to dvd, put in the blank dvd, format it, then tick off the stuff you want copied, then choose high speed copy, then you have to wait, until the stuff gets copied, and the whole process finishes- dvd in the drive says formalized, this thing is necessary so that this dvd will play in dvd players, then you have to wait until it says it's done. if the dvd is not formalized, just copied and removed , then it will probably not play in dvd players. I've done what was mentioned before, and no problems, also check the brand of media you are using, and use a brush type dvd drive cleaner on your MacPro's DVD drive
    hopefully that helps

  • How to burn valid video DVDs from VIDEO_TS folder

    Hello,
    Sorry if this topic is not in the proper location, but as the question is broad, I thought this was the best place to ask.
    I just want to burn files located in a VIDEO_TS folder, properly ripped on the hard drive, so as to make a valide Video DVD.
    I already attempted to use Burn, to no avail; it fails withing the first seconds, and outputs this line in the Console:
    19/06/09 15:24:16 /Applications/Burn.app/Contents/MacOS/Burn[596] Unexpected quarantine error: -43; ignoring
    I don't want to use Toast since it's not a freeware, and using Nero on Ubuntu does provide a valid DVD.
    Thx for help

    I don't want to use Toast since it's not a freeware
    But it's worth every cent of it! I have been using it for a long time and can't even remember the last time I stuffed up a disk, burning DVDs Music & MP3 CDS, photo cd's data etc.
    I have tried a couple of freeware and shareware programs that are supposed to be ok, but spent most of the time producing drink coasters. if there is one program I think everyone should fork out for it would be Roxio Toast.
    maybe someone can recommend a freebie, but I will always swear by Toast and think it has easily paid for itself already.
    Cheers

  • [SOLVED] Rip or play back audio/video DVD

    Recently I bought a DVD that contains audio content as well as video content. On the packaging it says that it is in the "DVD Audio/Video" format.
    Today I wanted to rip or at least play back this DVD on my computer. When inserting a "normal" video DVD into the disk drive, the DE which I am using (Gnome 3.12) displays a notification that offers the possibility to start playback of the inserted DVD. No such notification was displayed for the DVD in question.
    Since anyway my original intention was to rip the DVD to my hard drive, this didn't bother me much and I started looking for a program for ripping DVDs. This research resulted in me installing dvd::rip.
    Unfortunately, upon trying to the read the table of contents of the DVD, dvd::rip displays the below error message:
    Job 'Determine number of titles' failed with error message:
    Command exits with failure code:
    Command: execflow tcprobe -H 10 -i \/dev\/sr0 && echo EXECFLOW_OK
    Output: libdvdread: Could not open /dev/sr0 with libdvdcss.
    libdvdread: Can't open /dev/sr0 for reading
    [[31;1mtcprobe[0m][31;1m critical[0m: unrecognized filetype for '/dev/sr0'
    While googling for problems with DVD playback in Arch, I came across some generic solutions that didn't solve the problem, namely adding my user to the audio, video, and optical groups as well as installing packages for handling DVDs (libdvdread, libdvdcss, libdvdnav).
    Is there someone who has managed to rip or play back DVDs in the "DVD Audio/Video" format?
    Last edited by Sir Sure E. Nuff (2014-05-25 09:25:15)

    Can you mount the disk and see its file system?  If it is a DVD, you should be able to do this, regardless of and CSS.
    Is there any chance this a VCD (Video CD)?

  • G5 not reading Video DVDs

    I'm a student filmmaker and I burn Video DVD's all the time. I'll burn a dvd successfully, eject the disc, put it back in the computer and it wont read it. It says "Disk Insertion: This disk is not readable by this computer". What is weird is that it will read DVD's formatted for Data, but not Video DVD's.
    My friend told me to reset something by holding apple + alt + p + r, still not working.
    Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in Advance!

    I don't want to sound pessimistic - but I don't think there is anything you can do. If you read through all the threads in this area - you will see this has happened to many of us.
    First you lose your ability to read DVDs. Next you will lose your ability to record DVDs.
    Mine is at the point where I can't get more than 50mb on a CD.
    And guess what - Apple doesn't seem to want to acknowledge those of us with G5s -- not that this will make you feel better - but you are not alone. It has happened to too many of us.
    Eliminating the dust in your G5 - reconfiguring your desktop nonsense, rewriting permissions - tapping on your processor -- and all the other supposedly "helpful" answers - don't do diddly-squat.
    Been there - done that...
    Get yourself a new DVD -- and become bitter - or smile...
    Because there doesn't seem to be anyone here who can help you -- and no one from Apple is willing to tell the truth about this -- and life must go on.

  • HOW TO CREATE VIDEO DVD WITH ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER

    I AM NEW TO ADOBE PREMIERE. AFTER SOME HOURS OF LEARNING FINALLY I FINISHED EDITING 30 MIN OF VIDEO. NOW I DONT KNOW HOW TO OUTPUT TO DVD ( VIDEO DVD ) TO PLAY IN DVD PLAYERS. PLS HELP.

    Which version of Premiere? CC does not include Encore, but you can download the Encore CS6 from your account. As it is part of Premiere CS6, I believe you would need to download and install Premiere/Encore CS6, and then you can uninstall Premiere CS6, leaving Encore CS6 installed.
    If you have Premiere CS6, then you already have Encore CS6. In either case, from Premiere, use File > Export > Media to open Media Encoder. For FORMAT, choose "MPEG-2 DVD", then choose an appropriate preset from the list. For instance, if editing with 1080i, then you might choose NTSC Widescreen High Quality. For 1080p, then use the Progressive version, etc.
    What is your source video format? If starting with HD, then check the box at the bottom of AME for Max Render Quality, it helps with the scaling.
    Hit EXPORT at bottom and it exports two files, an .m2v for video and .wav for audio. Open Encore, start a New DVD project, and then File > Import > As Timeline and grab both those files for import. From there, I recommend finding an Encore tutorial, too involved for me to type it all out here.
    Hope this gets you going at least, but search online for tutorials, there is plenty of good, free stuff out there
    Thanks

  • IDVD to make 'normal' video DVD's

    A simple question, but I have not seen a definitive answer.
    On a new iMac with a Superdrive, can I use iMovie 5 and iDVD 5 to
    burn a video DVD that will play on a normal (noncomputer)
    DVD player? I know that I can create my movie in iMovie,
    it is the burning part I am concerned about before I spring
    for a new Mac. Thanks!

    Yes, that is precisely what the applications are designed for.

    I used to be able to play Video DVDs. The hardware suddenly stopped recognizing them. I also have a bootable external disk with 10.4.7. The same problem occurs when running this system. Interestingly, Limewire will not run under the 10.4.8 system but tuns fine under the 10.4.7 system.
    Does anyone have any idea what is wrong or what I can do to play Video DVDs again?

    I am just adding to this post.
    I have tried to repair permissions in Disk Utility with no result
    I can play video DVDs with VLC and can rip them with Handbrake. No other program will recognize the DVDs

  • Video/DVD conversion problems and questions

    I have been using i-tunes for a couple years. The music libary and its functionality is superb however after getting an Iphone I have been trying to fully understand the concept of the required video/dvd conversion before itunes will accept them.
    I have used a couple different programs to convert content into Mpeg-4 itunes acceptable format. However when attempt to snyc video to my iphone several issues arise. First I have had content in my movie/video libary that for whatever reason will not transfer to the phone. Sometimes itunes will transfer a specific video and then on a later snycing, it will leave that same content out. Bizarre. I had 4 videos loaded into itunes and at one point I had all of them on the phone. During my last snyc session although they were checked, in the movie libary, they were not transferred.
    I have been using the itunes conversion option even after its been coverted into Mpeg-4, is this neccessary ? I have ripped a full length purchased dvd and loaded it onto Itunes, however it will not sync to the phone. Should I be able to load an entire movie if I have the available space or is there a capacity limit ?
    Can someone describe a process from start to finish, that will decode/convert video/dvd's into Itunes acceptable format that will also allow snycing to my I-phone without all of these constant issues ?
    Thanks !
    S ~

    Ok folks let's disengage the panic button. This is more of a means of sorting out a movie/video clip snync problem than trying to circumvent legalities and or discuss copyright violations none of which are present.
    i/tunes seems to make up it's own mind regarding which vid clips are transferred to the iphone even when all selections are formatted and are checked. No error message, no indicators, some files move while others do not.
    Any ideas ?

  • When playing a home video DVD using DVD Player I tried to use the "Controls, Use current frame as jacket picture" facility to create a printable image but with no success. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

    When playing a home video DVD (created on my Panasonic DVD/Hard Disc recorder)  using the Mac DVD Player, I tried to use the "Controls, Use current frame as jacket picture" facility to create a printable image but with no success. I assume that any file created by this action would be stored somewhere in a common format but cannot find any such file. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

    Hi Sinious,
    Interesting to know about 10.8 and Flash. I'll hold off upgrading until they work together. Currently using 10.6.8 at home and same on the Universtity's computers.
    Haven't verified on Windows but shall do later in the week if I can get access to a Windows machine.
    Both the Flash player and the Projector come up not full screen, and if I leave it that way then things work OK as long as I don't make the video full screen (using the full screen button on the skin).
    However if I make the swf or projector full-screen (by using CMD-F or the menu option) then when I click on the menu item to take me to the page with the video on it, instead of a page with a smallish video and back button I get a black screen with no obvious controls. If I then press Escape I get my normal screen back and I am in the page that should have the video but there is not video and the back button does not work. So something wierd is going on here.
    If I make a file without any videos with a similar navigation structure everyting works ok except that when I go full screen I lose the finger cursor when I roll over my buttons (which is also wierd).

    You could've backed up your iPad prior to the "forced" upgrade which, by the way, you could have cancelled. iTunes doesn't upgrade your iPad, automatically, on its own. You had to click the Upgrade button to initiate the upgrade. You didn't have to do anything with that button. You can just leave it be.
    iOS 8 is garbage on iPad 2 and 3 and even though iTunes keeps giving me the Update button option, I continually choose to ignore it.
    Ignoring the Upgrade/Update button doesn't affect the normal iTunes/iDevice syncing/backing up operations.
    You could've just left that button alone.
    When was the last time you backed up your iPad?
    While there is no way way to revert to a previous iOS version once you upgrade your iDevices iOS, iTunes saves multiple backups of your iDevice and if you backed up your iPad previously to this latest activity, you should be able to restore your iPad from an older  backup that should appear by date when  you plug your iDevice into your Mac, was for iTunes to launch and sync your iPad, then cancel the backup in progress and use the Restore function in iTunes to restore your iDevice from another previous backup version date.
    If your current version of iTunes doesn't recognize your iPad2 under iOS 8, you need to check the iTunes update feature, in iTunes or in OS X Software Update feature in OS X Preferences panel to see if there is a iTunes update available for OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

  • Can you replicate the video DVD autolaunch and playback on a Flash drive?

    I'm creating a motion graphics presentation in Motion and I normally burn these to DVD with DVDSP where it automatically plays when you insert it into a DVD player or computer.
    My client wants to distribute the presentation on Flash drives, though, and give those out. My thinking is that a Flash drive is only data and so we would need to distribute the presentation as a QT movie file, which would require the end user run the file.
    There's no way to make a computer think a Flash drive is a video DVD, is there?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yeah, the companies you buy those custom USB Flash drives from will put any file you want on them and I'm familiar with the auto run .ini option in Windows. The problem with that is playing a QuickTime movie file on a PC or Mac doesn't look as good at full screen as a video DVD, in my opinion, and the end user would have to manually tell it to go full screen. Finally, not all computers have the auto run feature enabled because of the virus issue you cited, and the end user would have to right-click on the drive and select "Explore" in Windows, or find the file in the Finder, and then manually run it.
    Video DVD is great because it looks great at full screen and it's platform agnostic. If you insert one into any computer with a DVD drive, it will either auto play or it will give the user a dialog asking them if they want to play it.
    But from a marketing perspective, the USB Flash drive is better because when you give them out to people (with your company's logo on it), people are more likely going to use it and see your presentation versus a DVD disc.
    Thanks!
