Burning to DVD with iMovie - richlin71

if you want to *copy* a DVD, then you don't need to use handbrake to convert to mp4. just use MTR to rip the VIDEO_TS folder to your harddrive, then use DVD burning software (like Toast) to burn it to a new DVD.

Burning to DVD with iMovie - ellipsian

Thanks for the reply. I was actually trying to go a less expensive route (read: I'm poor and don't wanna buy a program such as Toast) and would like to use shareware/existing software (i.e. iMovie) to burn a disc. Any further suggestions (other than, "Stop being so cheap!", thanks)?

If you're going cheap, then does that mean you also don't have iDVD? If so, then find yourself a friend with Toast, or check out isohunt.com. Get it somehow, because I know of no better burning utility for the Mac.

I do have iDVD, as it came with my Mac. Does this help me or do I still need to invest in Toast or somthing similar? Thanks.

iDVD will not burn any ripped video that I know of. I believe iDVD will only recognize dv format. I don't know why you asked the question.

As for burning with iMovie, you can't do that either. iMovie simply provides a way to gather clips and put them together in order to create a video movie. iMovie does not burn anything. You need third party software to burn a ripped movie. I've been looking for one for a long time, and have yet to find a free DVD burner.

Burning to DVD with iMovie-Dragon Flix - hqgame

Have you heard of or tried NTI's Dragon Flix? Download the free trial and purchase for $39.99. I've used it on my iMac 20" ICD running under Rosetta and it's not speedy but it works! Not free, not elcheapo but not as much as Toast.
Check it out here or just Google Dragon Flix

Hope this helps!

Popcorn by Roxio a Little Cheaper - mikeluck

If you want to go a little less expensive route then check out Popcorn by Roxio that does Toast. It will let you read and burn a video_ts folder to DVD with the option of compression if you need to burn something larger than a standard 4.6G DVD. Look around and you can find it at a discounted price.

I guess your best way to do that would be to use ffmpegx. you can find it here on versiontracker, or better go directly to http://ffmpegx.com/download.html - there is a detailed discribtion of how to do that. it allows much more different formats than handbrake, so you can choose what to use with iMovie.
have fun

Burning to DVD with iMovie - nfulbrig

Hello
I am in the same boat. Just bought MBP for specific purpose of editing family movies on DVD. GOt it home and it won't import the DVDs. These are not copywritten protected material, but DVD's of home movies. I call Apple tech support, they say "no, it won't do that." I call the guy at the store and he said get a free ripper download at "Handbrake". I see the ripper download, but am now wondering if I need another download to then convert the files to MP4's so I can edit them? If so, I can't find the free Handbrake download. Or does it get converted to MP4 in the ripping process?

As un update to my previous post, after using Mac the Ripper to extract my DVD to my Mac, I opened imovie and it still won't import it. With same error message as before. So it does not remove whatever formatting is on the DVD in the first place, just puts the same DVD as is on the hard drive. What do I get to remove whatever is stopping it from being used by imovie?

Handbrake has a setting to rip using an MP4 file format and AVC/H.264 codec. In my setup, these files seem to be importable to iMovie HD, but try it yourself with a short clip.

Oh, and if files are already ripped from DVD, but not working with iMovie, the free iSquint (Google it) will transcode about anything to 640x480 H.264.

If you like the cheap route and have about $50, get DVD2OneX2. It's a recompression program that allows you to burn a dual layer DVD to a single layer. I've used it frequently and it's GREAT! You can burn either the full disc contents or just the movie. I make the extraction with Mac the Ripper and then use DVE2OneX2 to recompress and burn. Lots cheaper than Toast.

Dont try iMovie. I dont know if you found a solution yet. but mac the ripper extracts the whole movie. dont compress it. down load Toast titanium...then select dvd, video_ts mode. select the movie, expand it till you see video_ts. select that only and it will burn the entire movie compressed to the size available on your DVD. this works great. Im doing it right now.

I don't understand - if you have ripped a DVD using MacTheRipper, why can't you just burn a new DVD using Disk Utility? If you do everything in a straight-forward manner, it should work. I have made things in iMovie, transported to iDVD, rendered, and burned with Disk Utility. I have also ripped then used DU the burn.
