Why I cannot copy my own DVD?

As everybody knows it can take a very long time to burn a slide show or movie to a DVD. In order to avoid the hassle after I made the DVD I tried to copy it. Everything seems to copy OK and I can burn the DVD, but the DVD won't play in a DVD player. Only the loop plays. What am I doing wrong?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Copying my own DVD

    I edited a project on FCE using an iMac. I then created a DVD using iDVD. The project no longer exists on FCE nor as a stand-alone .mov file.
    Please explain how can I copy the project off the DVD so I can again use it in FCE (or FCP.)

    Your post is confusing. You heading states that you want to make a copy of a DVD, but then you say that you want to use the video on the DVD in FCE or FCP.
    If you want to edit the DVD's footage, use DVDxDV or MPEG Streamclip to convert the DVD's VOB files into an editable format that matches your Sequence settings in Final Cut.
    If you just want to make a copy, use Toast or Disk Utility.

  • Why I cannot copy/paste any web links and texts? With Internet Explorer its possible, but with Firefox not.

    When someone sends me a link in MSN and I try to copy it to the adress bar, it wount happen. Same is with textes in Firefox.

    In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".
    See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
    You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy
    Another possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that,.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
    See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

  • Cannot copy files from CD or DVD using Finder.

    Hi,
    I cannot copy files and folders from a CD or DVD to my home folder or any folder therein using Finder. I just get the "Not Permitted" symbol next to the mouse pointer when I try to drag a folder out of the CD (or DVD) to my home folder.
    I have checked that I have sufficient permissions to perform this operation and when I copy files from the CD or DVD using the command line, it works without any hassles.
    This is extremely strange and I cannot think of why it should happen.
    A solution would be most welcome as I would prefer not to have to drop into a command line when I have to copy files from CDs or DVDs.
    Regards,
    Apurva

    I am experiencing the same problem: after undoing a copy in the Finder from my CD-drive to my Seagate 200GB FW-drive, I am no longer able to copy single files in the Finder from other drives than my harddisk. I can copy from my hard disk to my external harddisk, I can move and copy files within the harddisk, but I cannot copy from my external hard drive or my CD/DVD-drive to my harddisk or from my CD/DVD-drive to my external hard drive or the internal harddisk.
    What is increasingly weird, is that I can easily copy two or more files using drag and drop! I also get a nice green + sometimes when trying to move the files, but there is just no response.
    I have tried the following:
    0) rebooted.
    1) rm com.apple.finder.plist + killall -9 Finder
    2) done that in the finder using cmd-alt-esc to kill the finder.
    3) removed cache files using Yasu from http://jimmitchelldesigns.com/yasu.html, including rebooting
    4) Doublechecked permissions, including locked bits
    5) run periodic everything from the Terminal
    6) repaired permissions
    7) checked the hard disk using disk utility
    8) Logged in as another admin user to no avail.
    I can use the Terminal to copy the files without any problems, and I can open files in other applications and save them where ever from there, but the Finder refuses to let me.
    May Gods wrath kill the Finder for good! I certainly hope 10.5 will show a new Finder!

  • Cannot copy imovie DVD to a DVD recorder

    I made some still images into a movie clip using imovie HD. Then I burned the clip to a standard definition dvd. The DVD will play on all my DVD players and recorders. Of course, since the DVD is DVD-R, Video mode, it cannot normally be copied on some recorders. Could not get a DVD-RW, to copy to my recorder hard drive either in the Video mode or the VR mode. One of my DVD recorder/players allows me to work around this and copy a DVD-R, Video mode DVD. However, this procedure would require me to copy the imovie clips to DVD, copy the dvd to the dvd recorder hard drive, then copy the clip from the hard drive to another dvd, and use that copy in my other recorder, which would then be able to copy it for combining the clips with other movies. Wastes two DVDs and is very complicated and time consuming.
    So, to try and simplify the process I tried to copy the imovie DVD back to my video camera, JVC GMX-157, then copy from the camera to my recorder hard drive for combining the clips with other movies. However, when I try to copy to my video camera I get the message that the disc is copyright protected. Anybody got any idea why is this happening on my homemovie creations???

    when I try to copy to my video camera I get the message that the disc is copyright protected. Anybody got any idea why is this happening on my homemovie creations??
    No, that's a mystery, since iDVD cannot make copy-protected DVDs!
    I have no experience with what you are attempting, but have you tried feeding the DVD directly from your Mac to the DVD Recorder via the usual cables?

  • HT5517 i have apple tv and i could play my dvd on my macbook pro but now i cannot i get a black and white box i have vlc which apple store put on for me but thats no good because the film keeps jumping. i am wondering why i cannot play from dvd to apple t

    i have had apple tv since last april and i could play films from dvd player from mac book  but for some reason this has stopped working from dvd player when i put the dvd player on apple tv i get a black and white screen i can hear the film but i cannot see it, i went to my local store and they but vlc on for me but its terrible the film always jumps every time.
    Can anyone now the reason this has happen as i watch film offern but its driving me crazy why i cannot play from macbook pro to dvd player. i have been told it was a sercuity problem with the films so do i use itunes every time i need to watch a film if so then apple tv is a waste of money thanks please help

    This is supposed to happen, licensing issue mean that Apple can't AirPlay protected content to other devices. You might try VLC instead of Apples built in DVD player.

  • How do I copy my own movies from a DVD to my imac so I can edit? them.

    I have made  a number of VCR to DVD coversions and also DV camcorder imprints on DVD+R discs. I now would like to load these onto my iMac for further editing before i either reburn to another DVD the finished product to send to my children. These are all childhood movies of events. So far I have tried to use
    iMovie to no success. and also no success just trying to add. files. I also tried to do it on my PC laptop. I created the original discs on a Toshiba DVR and they have been finalized.  They play on the DVD in my mac but I cannot get them to download. How can I correct that? Is there a special software I need to buy or am I just ignorant?
    Also I am unable to upload via firewire from my Sony DV camcorder to iMovie as well. It doesnt recognize it. Any suggestions how I can address this problem? Thanks for your help.

    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.
    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.

  • Cannot copy file (From external HD, DVD, server) - iTunes 6

    Yesterday I've updated iTune to 6 and de facto Quicktime to 7.0.3.
    Just after this upgrade, I remark that I cannot copy files, using the finder, from external hard disk, dvd drive and network drive. During the drag, I've got the circle indicating that I can't copy.
    I can copy files only from my main hard disk to this one or others.
    (Note: With terminal applications I can copy theses files).
    Anyone else have this problems... or a explanation/solution.
    Thanks

    I reinstall iTune 6 and now everything is ok

  • Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from I-Photo not viewable by a Windows PC?

    Why are the photos I copied onto a DVD from iPhoto not viewable on a Windows PC?

    Because you did it wrong? It's hard to know unless you tell us what you did.
    What should work:
    Select the photos you want to share
    File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. Burn that to the disk with the Finder.

    I target the green layer did a Ctrl+A to select the whole green layer note the marching ants outlining the whole document composite view. I followed the Ctrl+A with Ctrl+C (copy).

  • Why is the LaCie copy silent on DVD player?

    Friends,
    After several frustrating hours (LaCie's readme only tells me how to connect to LaCie's readme--it should say, "if you are reading this don't bother to read this.") I finally burned a DVD. It was made from a videocam film that we had copied to a DVD. The sound was very bad, but as it was a souvenir film we want the sound.
    On my computer, all works well but when played it on the television the video plays but it is silent. Did I miss something in the Burning Process?
    I was so proud, but now I'm lost again.
    Patricia

    Is the DVD player built into the TV? or is it an
    external DVD video player? or are you using your iMac
    to send the video to the TV?
    Thanks, Dwayne--you pointed me away from the iMac and LaCie and I found that the DVD player was not properly connected to the TV.

  • Why Portlet regions cannot have their own style ? We need to use it.

    We need to visually group portlets on the same page.
    So we need to give different background different
    But Portlet regions cannot have their own style.
    So we cannot do it.
    Can we by pass this restriction? How ? ( We try to use html template, html content layout. But they don’t work.)
    Is this restriction will remove from future versions? (especilly 11g)
    Thanks.

    We ran into the same thing. I'm assuming you want to display different portlets on the same page with different looks. Here are a few things you might try (depending on the portlets, of course).
    - Adding another .css file in the cascade within the UI template
    - If using page portlets, add your own formatting to the page
    - Use dynamic pages with hard-coded formatting
    None of these will work for all cases, mind you. But it might give you a starting point. Good luck!
