  • How do I import DVD to IMovie? What is the best way to import DVD to a Mac?

    Hi everyone!
    I need some help, so here are my questions.
    How do I import DVD to IMovie? What is the best way to import DVDs to a Mac?
    I would like to keep the original quality from the DVD.
    Thx.

    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.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    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.

  • What is the best way to turn line art into a 3D image in Illustrator? Thanks for your help.

    What is the best way to turn line art into a 3D image in Illustrator? Thanks for your help.

    What version of Illustrator? What do you mean by "Line Art"? What do you mean by "3d image"? Post images showing your starting artwork and an example of what you are trying to achieve.
    If you have Illustrator 12 or higher you can extrude or lathe a simple group or path using Effects > 3D > [Pick one]. You must start with vector data, not a placed raster image. You are very limited in what you can do, and you cannot model multiple objects within one 3D world. Each object you extrude/revolve/rotate is its own world, with its own perspective and camera. You can also make any art into a Symbol, then map that symbol onto any 3D surface you create. The results are, at best, acceptable, and often total garbage.

  • What is the best way to rip movies to an external HD?

    I am interested in ripping my DVD movies to an external HD so they are portable. This is in preparation for a military deployment to the middle east. I would like to take them all so I can enjoy them all while overseas. I am looking at a 1TB external HD. What is the best method to rip them? Do I need Software and and are there any special methods for performing the transfers?
    Any help would be appreciated!

    we can not give instructions on how to rip copyrighted dvd's.  Don't blame us, blame the motion picture industry.

  • What is the best way to put various songs into one album?

    I have been adding album information and album artwork within iTunes to take advantage of cover flow, but i have a lot of songs in my music library that are "stand alone" songs - it is the only song from that artist. I want to put all of these songs together in one album, so all of my miscellaneous rock songs will be put into a Rock Music album or file. I want to do this to eliminate all of the grey boxes within cover flow for all of these songs. When i give the files all the same album name (Rock Music) and album artist (Various Artists) it still does not put them all together within iTunes. It will do it for some, but not all.
    What is the best way to put all of these miscellaneous songs into the same album?

    Try marking all the tracks as part of a compilation. Click on the first track in your list, hold down the shift key and click on the last. Right click anywhere in the selection and choose Get Info, when you are asked if you want to edit multiple items say yes. Change compilation at the bottom of the window to Yes.

  • What is the best program to Rip DVD with 5.1 audio for Mac Book

    I just purchased a Macbook Pro and want to rip DVD's. I want to retain the 5.1 audio tracks. What is the best program for this? Thanks in advance for your suggestions

    Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected video DVDs, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries), so we're not allowed to discuss it here.   Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie for use on computers. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature.
    If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. I'm not sure how it handles 5.1 audio, though, if it will at all.
    Regards.

  • What is the best way to update my iPhotos into Aperture (re-import)

    I want to re-import my iPhoto Library into Aperture 2 to update Aperture but am nervous about "overiding" changes I've made with the photos - and all of the projects, books, albums, etc. - that have been made in the last year.
    What is the best, safest, don't-forget-to-check-this-box way of updating your iPhoto Library into Aperture 2?
    Do I just reimport the whole thing but check the box that says to ignore duplicates?

  • What's the best way to manage movie resolutions with iTunes/iPod

    I've just been given a new video iPod, and am now considering importing movies into iTunes so that I can have them on my iPod. What I have is a bunch of MPGs (e.g., family movies from a camcorder, etc.); but I noticed that the iPod won't play them, presumably because they're not MP4 format. I know I can convert them all to MP4 with iSquint or a similar utility. But I want to keep the full-resolution versions in iTunes so that I can display them on a bigger screen as well. So, what is the right way to manage this - do I really need to keep and have in iTunes 2 versions of every movie - one scaled down for iPod as MP4, and one in original resolution? Or is there a better way?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iTunes is straight forward, just use the same ID on all of them.
    What exactly do you want to see in messages on the Mac and iPad, messages combined from each of your phones or a different account just for both of you.
    You should think about what you want in calendars, contacts etc, on your shared devices.

  • What's the best way to automount DVD and networksharing?

    Hey Guys.
    Just a Question - to hear if its possible to make it work ?
    I have through time build a little MythTV setup on ArchLinux.
    And - damn I'm happy with it.
    The only remaining problem I've got now - is how to share the DVD on the network. Since I'm using powersaving frontends, I have no DVD for playing DVD's. And since I got kids and A LOT cartoons, I would be glad to make this works perfectly.
    I've tried to make it work using NFS - I've discovered some lacking in the picture and sound when playing DVD's.
    I've tried with samba, and got actually a happy solution, BUT there's a problem that I needing to make happend automaticly.
    1. Automount the DVD after inserting it into DVD-drive. Also umount the drive when pushing the buttom on the drive.
    2. I shalll now restart samba after inserting the dvd - Isn't it possible that the drive is dicovered automaticly after mounted in the directory: ??? allso when finished playing the DVD - I need to stop samba before I can umount the DVD - Is it possible to avoid stopping samba for umounting the DVD ?
    3. How is it possible to make this action automaticly when inserting a DVD or pushing a button on the frontend that starts it all using a shellscript or so?
    Mostly becaurse I'm thinking about hidding the server in a special place and have a DVD shared from a external/internal device? So this action should happen automaticly after inserting the DVD - that its accessable on the network - and removed when pushing the button on the drive?
    Let me here a little about the your experiences with this problem. I've tried the wiki about getting autofs to make it work - but here's my solution for now
    TIA

    The automount of the drive from fstab - yes - and have no problems on the frontends.
    But when inserting a DVD - you'll need to mount -a to mount the see the contents of the dvd - (if this can automaticly be disvovered by fstab - please tell me - I cannot see it)
    And again afters wards - when finishing the DVD - when pressing the buttom - eject - It's says the device is busy.
    You'll need to stop samba - carse its samba that uses the device. After stopping samba - no problem with umounting the device.
    Again . please guide me in the rigth way - to make this happen automaticly!

  • What is the best way to move part of my iTunes library to an external drive?

    After many years of collecting iTunes content on my Mac, I'm starting to get low on internal hard drive space. I'd like to move my movies and tv shows to an external drive while keeping all other content where it is. I have found numerous explanations on how to do this, but they vary widely in their methods and most of them are at least a couple of years old.
    Could anyone with recent experience share with me the best practices for doing this? In addition, I'd love to know this: Although I have a firewire external drive, but I don't keep it connected at all times and would prefer to put the files on my Time Capsule, since it connects to the Mac wirelessly. Would that work?
    Thank you!

    I don't think it is easy to move part of a collection unless you don't care about the metadata such as date added, etc.  You can copy the files to the other drive, delete in iTunes the references to the copies still on your computer, then hold down the option key while dragging the files on the external to iTunes so it doesn't copy them back to your internal but just references them where they are.  You have to remember to do this each time.  Either that, or set preferences so iTunes does not automatically copy any file to your media folder when added but leaves them all where they land on your computer.  You can move them by hand around the computer, but not between drives.
    You could try Dougscript "Move Files To Folder" but I don't know if this enables iTunes to track items moved to a different drive.  iTunes doesn't really like using multiple drives.
    As for using Time Capsule, I have seen various takes on this.  I recall reading somebody saying it isn't a good idea to have a backup drive competing for dual purposes.  My take on it is, TC is a backup, period.  If you keep your movies on it and the TC drive dies, you lose your only copy of the movies.
    How often do you really watch these movies?  Yes, it is nice having them appear in iTunes, but unless you are watching them every day then it isn't a huge burden to have them on another drive.  Frankly, if I had iTunes movies I would probably make a whole different library for them and start from it with the external drive turned on when I was in a movie mood.

  • What is the best way to combine multiple projects into one?

    My guess would be to turn them into compound clips and then make the transfer that way, but is that the only way?

    You can merge Events from the file menu.
    Select the Events,  File > Merge Events
    You could also convert project timlines into CC timlines which would be saved in an Event.
    Open project timeline, select all, copy and then paste into a CC timeline.

  • What is the best way to morph one circle into two, with fluidity?

    Hello I'm creating a small animation,
    I have a good working knowledge of After Effects CS6, but this is the first time really delving into animation.
    So I'm kind of unsure of the best method to do this, I've tried masking a solid and keyframing the shape change to the other, but it's doesn't really give the fluid motion I'm seeking.
    This is the sort of effect.
    Obviously without a costly plug-in would be preferred. Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me.
    Also the more like liquid droplets the better.
    Thank you
    Tom

    Thank you,
    I ended up using the CC Smear effect, so whilst one pertrudes the other is nested in the end of said protusion.
    Then I animated the size and position of the nested circle (whilst protuding that one as well), so it appears to blob out of the end then the protusions retract from both circles, whilst putting an inertia bounce on the position of the 'End' position of the protusion. So it appears to wobble when it is fully retracted.
    The problem with this is...The occasional glitch (when rendered) with CC Smear.
    Is there a reason for this?

  • What is the best way to convert a cluster into byte array or string

    I'm writing a program that sends UDP packets and I've defined the data I want to send via large clusters (with u8/u16/u32 numbers, u8/u16/u32 arrays, and nested clusters). Right before sending the data, I need to convert the clusters either into strings or byte arrays. The flatten to string function is almost perfect for this purpose. However, it's appending lengths to arrays and strings which renders this method useless, as far as I can tell. 
    As I have many of these clusters, I would rather not hard code the unbundle by names and converting/typecasting to byte arrays or strings for each one. 
    Is there a feature or tool I am overlooking? 
    Thank you! 

    deceased wrote:
    Flatten to string has a boolean input of "Prepend string or array size" ... The default value is true.
    That only specifies if a string or array size should be prepended if the outermost data element is a string or array. For embedded strings or arrays it has no influence. This is needed for the Unflatten to be able to reconstruct the size of the embedded strings and arrays.
    The choice to represent the "Strings" (and Arrays) in the external protocol to LabVIEW strings (and arrays) is actually a pretty bad one unless there is some other element in the cluster that does define the length of the string. An external protocol always needs some means to determine how long the embedded string or array would be in order to decode the subsequent elements that follow correctly.
    Possible choices here are therefore:
    1) some explicit length in the protocol (usually prepended to the actual string or array)
    2) a terminating NULL character for strings, (not very friendly for reliable protocol parsing)
    3) A fixed size array or string
    For number 1) and 2) you would always need to do some special processing unless the protocol happens to use explicitedly 32 bit integer length indicators directly prepended before the variable sized that.
    For number 3) the best representation in LabVIEW is actually a cluster with as many elements inside as the fixed size.
