Video from an already created DVD

Is there any way at all to remove video from an already created DVD into Final Cut?

Use MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free software) to convert the media to something like ProRes 422, then import into FCP X.
But you need to download a Quicktime component (easy to do though).

Video from .ts files (created with Arcsoft Showbiz) played in accelerated.

Hello everybody, can you explain me why in PREMIERE PRO CS6, the video from .ts files (created with Arcsoft Showbiz) is played in accelerated while the sound is played normally ?
If it is normal, an update would be great
Thank you.

As far as I know, the best way to digitize vhs tapes is with a http://www.grassvalley.com/products/converters product
Model 55 is one way from tape to computer, model 110 allows exporting back to tape
Files are DV AVI which edit very well in all versions of Premiere

How to convert analog SD video from VCR tapes to DVD

What is the simplest way to convert analog SD video signals from VCR tapes for input to a mac intel mini so that I can create DVDs? Any help would be appreciated.
Owen

not sure about doing it on a mac mini, but based on the costs of the equipment needed to do it and the time, your best bet is to take your vcr tapes to costco and let them transfer them to DVD...
then editing pieces of the dvd's to make a compilation would be fairly easy using any number of software tools for the mac.

Import video from an idvd project DVD.

Is there a way to import video from a finished iDVD project on DVD back onto my G4? It was originally created in iMovie and I want to get it eventually into my iPhone. The DVD is the only copy, it wasn't backed up on mini DV.

Try MPEG Streamclip (www.squared5.com). Open the DVD in Finder and drag .vob files from the VIDEO_TS folder into Streamclip's window.

Extracting Video from an iDVD burned DVD

I have DVDs for projects I burned from iMovie projects to iDVD, but I no longer have the iMovie projects. I'd like to extract the video from the DVD into DV or MPG 4. I'm looking at maybe buying Roxio Popcorn 4 to do this as they claim it will convert to both DV and MPG 4. Has anyone used Popcorn and/or is there another way to do it.

Did the message say the plugin does not work with Mavericks or was it the installer that would not work? If it was the latter use the demo version if Pacifist to install the component. There should be to locations where the component is installed:
Users/Home/Library/Quicktime folder
System/Library/Quicktime folder

Copy Video From Sony VRD-MC3 DVD Recorder to Quicktime Pro

I burn short clips to DVD on my Sony VRD-MC3 burner. I then load it on my mac to convert over to quicktime pro so I can create clips and add to my movies. The DVD plays on my mac DVD player but I can't get it to open on my QT pro so I can convert to the necessary movie extensions. The Finder wont show any folders on the DVD. Can anyone help me with being able to load these files and then convert using quick time Pro?
Thanks

I found this info about the recorder in a Google search:
Disk /dev/hdc: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
Disk /dev/hdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Partitions 1 and 2 are ext2 filesystems storing the firmware files (locked up in a signed+encrypted cramfs image, so hacking will be hard). Partition 3 is encrypted xfs. Until someone cracks the encryption, no directory listing and no TS files (plus no guarantee that Sony is using TS files to store the content anyway). Breaking the encryption on any of this stuff may be tough since the manual acknowledges that they are using GNU Privacy Guard. On the other hand, since people have reported being able to update multiple units from the same Sony-provided USB flash drive, that would seem to indicate that the firmware isn't individually signed and encrypted for each unit, making it more significant if someone does manage to figure out the keys and signing scheme.
Sony does this kind of stuff all the time. It's similar to Macrovision protection on VHS tape recordings.
My guess is that the encryption is passed on to the DVD copy of the file which allows viewing but not any duplication or conversion.

Can I extract a frame from a RoxioPlasma -created DVD into PSE10?

Mac User (LION w/2Gb memory)
PSE 10
Several images were writen with RoxioPlasma onto a DVD and plays well in iDVD. I want to extract several frames into PSE10. Is it possible to do it (do I need a plug-in?)?

When you say "Extract a frame", do you mean saving one of the frames as an image from Photoshop?
Here's what you can do:
1. Open the video in Photoshop, File > Open, and choose the .mov file.
2. Once the video opens in Photoshop, open the Animation panel, Window > Animation
3. In the Animation panel move the playhead to the desired frame, and save it as an image, File > Save As.
and Voila!
Any questions, just ask. I'll be more than happy to help.

Aspect ratio problems when exporting from FCP and creating DVDs

Hi there
Can anyone help? I'm using FCP to edit material shot using a Sony z1 in SD 16:9 mode. My media displayed correctly in FCP with the 'anamorphic' option ticked in the browser.
I then exported my short films as QuickTime movies and created a DVD in iDVD using those video assets.
When I then viewed the films on a widescreen tv, the films did not display at the correct aspect ratio. They were horizontally elongated, as though they had been stretched twice over, so that objects, people and text appeared fatter than they should.
Can anyone let me know whether there are any settings I could change in either FCP or iDVD to stop this happening?
Many thanks!

I want to know how to put multiple videos from youtube onto a dvd for

my uncle wants me to put youtube videos on a dvd from my mac i emailed the videos to my email and put them on my desktop but i don't know how

I am having trouble figuring out how to transfer only certain photos on a DVD to my Mac. I don't want to transfer all of them. Any suggestions?
How are the photos stored on your DVD? Are the DVDs backups of iPhoto Libraries or simple folders of photos?
If the photos are in an iPhoto Library, you cannot import selectively, because you cannot open an iPhoto Library on a DVD. You will have to move the library to a disk, where iPhoto can write to the library, even if you only want to browse it. iPhoto needs read/write access.

I get error code "0xe0ef000e" when restoring from my self-created dvd

What do I do now?? Restoring stops half-way trough restoring process. Must I get other/new DVD's for installing Windows 7?

Hi,
Assuming this is just a problem with the recovery media, here's an alternative option you could try.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the exact same version that originally came with your notebook ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.
http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-windows-7-by-phone.aspx
Any additional drivers and software you may need can be found by entering your full Model No. or Product No. Here.

I have loaded video from vas tape to dvd and now want to rip chapters to put on another dvd. When I rip I get large black borders on each side. I am a novice what can I d? thanks

chapters and write them to a new dvd. The problem is that I get a large black border on each side. What can I do? thanks

Sounds like you have standard definition material in a 4:3 format that you have put in a 16:9 project.
The solution is to change your project aspect ratio to 4:3
Recognize you will still have the black bars (called pillarboxing) when you play the material on a 16:9 TV. (The DVD player will generate them.)

Ripping video from DVDs for FCP

I want to create an assignment for students (I teach a very basic video editing ocurse) where students will rip some video from various commercially available DVDs to practice editing their own trailers together with scenes from the movies. In the educational environment it is legal to rip short clips of video from DVDs.
I think I'm going to use MPEG Streamclip for doing this
1. Does anyone have any tips for preparing ripped footage to make sure it looks good in a FCP sequence? Is there anything you should do with the footage in FCP to make it look good?
Thanks.

David is right. MPEG Streamclip will not rip commercial DVDs.
It may well be legal in education to rip discs, however discussion of the process is not permitted here.
Once you have that aspect sorted out...
I have a tutorial for MPEG Streamclip here: http://www.secondchairvideo.com/?p=739

Getting video from Sony Handycam DVD 403

Hello everyone.
I'm hoping somebody has experience getting video from a Sony Handycam DVD 403 into iMovie6. I'm having troubles getting what I expect to happen to actually happen.
I hooked up my Handycam to my PowerBook which the OS recognized as a DVD recorder. The disc I had in the camera at the time had about 20 minutes of video stored in a unfinalized state. Finder showed an empty folder.
I tried entering iMovie and seeing if there were any tools in there that would help me but I couldn't find any. Nothing I did would show me the various clips that made up the 20 minutes of footage.
I was ultimately able to get the video in a round-a-bout way by Finalizing the disc, extracing the resulting VOB from DVD, converting it to mpeg4 with VideoLAN, and then adding it to my clips in iMovie. However, this has two aspects I don't really care for:
1) It took a couple of hours to do this. (I wasn't paying attention the whole time, but definately more than 90 minutes and less than 180 minutes).
2) It made one large mpeg4 file. I would rather have had multiple smaller files that were originally on my camcorder.
Does anyone have any tips or links to help me get the video straight off of the camcorder and into iMovie without resorting to VideoLAN and mpeg splitters (I haven't tried any mpeg splitters yet, but I'm guessing that is what I need to do to get my video clips into reasonable sizes).

Thank you for the reply.
This makes me sad, of course. When I bought the camcorder 6 months ago I had know real idea what I'd be using it for... just knew I wanted to record family gatherings, etc and have a DVD to watch when I was done. If I had planned ahead a bit more I would have got advice from the message boards first.
Until I can find somebody willing to buy this device from me I guess I will have to make do with the long way around.
