What is the best video converter for DVD to iMovie? Either free or to purchase.
What is the best video converter for DVD to iMovie? Either free or to purchase. And one that is 'fool-proof' and very easy to use. Many thanks, anyone who can advise.
You want to 'reverse engineer' the compressed mpeg2 DVD file back to something iMovie can use?
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:
Keep within the Law
No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
If you are running Lion:
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. -

You stumbled on a Mac Tower forum, not notebooks.
If you are running 10.6.8 then you must have bought it 3-4 yrs ago?
Might want to check the specs and then look at various programs and their requirements as to whether Final Cut Express and ah, you want to import media to an app, not "upload."

What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6?
What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6? I am tired of the guess work of "this might work if you do this." Just tell me which is, flat out, the easiest for Premiere to read?? I generally animate in Adobe Flash, and some times with a Live camera. Premiere seems to pick and choose which video file it wants. I import from the File drop down box in the upper left hand corner, then move the video file to timeline. Under the "scrubber" there is a thin red, (or when rendered) a green line. The videos I put in the timeline show a thin yellow line which means Premiere is confused. So, in basic terms, which video format is MOST commonly accepted with the least amount of trouble/hassle?
Premiere has a function now where you can import a clip and drag onto a timeline and it will prompt you with a message about changing the timeline settings to match your clip, (or if there is no timeline it will automatically create one that matches your clip.) This is in CC of course so you might consider upgrading. They have fixed a lot of compatibility issues from CS6 to now. If you don't want to get all of CC for 60/month then you can at least shell out 20/month on premiere. It's worth it. They've made it where you don't have to worry about 99% of all video formats. They just work.

Friends can you tell me what is the best video converter (asf into AVI) for mac ox 10.5.8 leopard ppc?
ThanksHi Mazdauk, To convert ASF to AVI, I recommend you the iorgsoft video converter which I have been using. It claims to support ASF as input and AVI as output. Anyway, I haven't converted ASF to AVI, most of the time, I convert MTS to MP4. You can have a try first.

What is the best video converter for high quality MPEG-4 for Apple TV?
What is the best video converter for high quality MPEG-4 for Apple TV?
Handbrake won't convert AVI files, But there are many more than those mentioned that will
The choice of conversion software is a personal choice, I have around a dozen applications that will tackle AVI's, however VisualHub is not one of them, not because there is anything wrong with it but rather I have enough such applications in my arsenal already.
I would use mpegstreamclip in most scenarios for what you are wanting to do but maybe not always. It is a good idea to have a few applications to choose from as not all do the same thing. mpegstreamclip has a few more options than some bog standard applications without becoming overburdening with choices.
You might want to try a few applications yourself before deciding on the software for you. isquint is a free limited version of visualhub, you might want to give that a whirl to get a feeling for visualhub.
Be aware though that quality conversions do not happen quickly, claims of being faster than other applications may well be correct, but are usually a trade off against quality. Again you need to choose your software to reflect your preferred balance between speed and quality.
Here's how I use mpegstreamclip, http://web.me.com/gartside1104/z008/Mpegstreamclip.html but your AVI's may well be low quality, you shouldn't set the bitrate any higher than your source file and likely lower, you shouldn't increase the frame size either.

What is the best video format/codec?
Greeting Video Producers
Please tell me what is the best video format/codec overall? And please list them from best to worse.
MPEG 4
MPEG 2
AVI
DVI
QUICKTIME MOV
WMV
THANK YOUDVI isn't a format or codec; it is a digital signal protocol used for video display. DVI = Digital Video Interface.
Please define what "best" means in your context ... "best" for what?
WMV is one of the best in terms of viewer compatibility for web video, but it is not any good for DVD delivery.
MPEG-2 is one of the best for broadcast server-based playback and is required for DVD-Video delivery, but it is one of the worst for editing.
MPEG-4 is a more efficient codec than MPEG-2, but isn't as compatible for web delivery as WMV or Flash.
AVI is a container.
MOV is a container.

What is the best video converter for iPhone?
My last question was deleted I guess because I was not specific enough. I have a Sony DCR-DVD108 DVD Handycam® Camcorder which writes everything onto mini DVDs. I am looking for a good video converter to convert my home movies with. I am using Roxio Crunch, but it doesn't do as good of a job as I had hoped. What is the best video converter to use?
P.S. Please don't delete my question again Apple.It was probably deleted because you said that it was in violation of the TOU, which I have read. I own all rights to DVDs which I myself have created, and I give myself permission to copy said DVDs for whatever reasons I wish. I am in no way violating the TOU: "Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store" because I am in no way trying to "work around" any sort of DRM, and I created the home movies and in no way was the iTunes Store involved; that is unless somehow a movie of my nephew's birthday is now available on iTunes. And I don't own an iPod video, I own an iPhone, which is why the question says "What is the best video converter FOR IPHONE?" and is why I am in an iPhone forum.

What is the best video card my computer can handle?
Hi I currently have this HP Desktop PC: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02636777&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=505...
I wanted to know what the best video card this computer can handle WITHOUT replacing the power supply.
this computer has a power supply of 250W but I was told that it could handle a Radeon HD 5570 but the 5570 requires "Stream Processors: 400 Stream Processing Units " does that mean it requires 400W power supply?
My questions:
1) Can my HP PC handle the Radeon HD 5570?
2) If it can't what is the best video card that my computer can handle that is BETTER than the one it comes with, NVIDA GeForce 6150 SE?Hi,
I would recommend that you upgrade your power supply and not go against the video card manufacturer's recommendation.

What is the best video card for 3D?
I'm getting a 2008 Mac Pro, will equip it with 10GB of RAM. What is the best video card for 3D rendering? I've read that the stock ATI 2600 card is woefully inadequate. I've also read that the NVIDIA 8800 card is better for gaming, and has caused some problems anyway. I can't spring for the top-end Quadra card that Apple offers. Are there good, cost-effective options for 3D work? Can I even get a video card on the open market that is not flashed by Apple?
Basically there are only three options available:
1. ATI 2600
2. ATI 1900
3. NVidia 8800
The latter is the best of the three. See benchmark results at Bare Feats.
You cannot use a video card not provided by Apple because they will not work with OS X or the hardware. -
What is the best Video Card I can get for an Early 2008 Mac Pro?
What is the best Video Card I can get for an Early 2009 Mac Pro3,1?
A 3,1 is "Early 2008" with DDR2 FBDIMMs, Intel 54xx Harpertown, and not 2009 Nehalem with DDR3.
http://www.barefeats.com bench tests. A 3,1 does not improve as much due to its old PCIe 2.0 implementation for one thing.
"Best" is hugely subjective. For what? cost versus performance and whether you need CUDA support or AMD - dual AMD's for FCP-X for instance.
I think GTX 970 right now is close to "best".

What is the best video format to use with Dreamweaver CS5.5
My client has asked what format to convert their video to before sending it to me to be placed on their homepage. I'm using DreamWeaver CS5.5 with an HTML5 template - trying to steer clear of Flash for this new site. On other sites, I embed videos from their hosting site (YouTube, SchoolTube, etc).
My question to the forum is what is the best way (and prefered format) now days to insert a video onto a webpage using DreamWeaver CS5.5 and HTML5. I have the Adobe Web Premium package.In the chapter on video in Dive Into HTML5 it says this:
There is no single combination of containers and codecs that works in all HTML5 browsers.
This is not likely to change in the near future.
To make your video watchable across all of these devices and platforms, you’re going to need to encode your video more than once.
And a suggested workflow:
For maximum compatibility, here’s what your video workflow will look like:
Make one version that uses WebM (VP8 + Vorbis).
Make another version that uses H.264 baseline video and AAC “low complexity” audio in an MP4 container.
Make another version that uses Theora video and Vorbis audio in an Ogg container.
Link to all three video files from a single <video> element, and fall back to a Flash-based video player.
I think that your starting point is to consider your target audience.
