snowslider 0 #1 October 9, 2006 Hi guys, I promise I have searched the threads for this answer but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I did coach jump yesterday and my coach filmed it for me, they put the footage on a dvd disc for me at the dz. I want to have the footage on my computer so I can put music to it. I also want to be able to upload it to the internet so I can share with friends and family. I am a mac user and I have the ibook g4. Please and thank you everyone.

When I ctrl click on the file, it opens up the sub files, none of which are the video, when I click on any of the them it asks me to choose the program I want to open it with. I am using a mac laptop. Typically with macs you can drag and drop files into programs with no problems. I'm sure there is a way to do this I just can't figure it out.

Looks like it was encoded as a DVD. You'll need to find some DVD ripping software and encode it as a regular video file.

If they're just VOB files, you can download the trial version of Sony Vegas Movie Studio and it will read the VOB files straight from the disc.

I think that will work if i want to play the video on my ipod, i just want to be able to upload it on skydivingmovies.com or my myspace page so i can show my friends and family. there has to be some tech guys on here with some info that will work. I mean all the videos on skydivingmovies.com....alot of those are by people that "got the video", is it because they are on a pc? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pocbase 0 #7 October 9, 2006 Another solution implies jumping through a few hoops: Play it into imovie through a dv camera (av from dvd player, fire wire from camera), av converter or dvd player with firewire. Once it's in imovie, insert the music and do whatever editing, then share in quicktime. There are quite a few options sharing in quicktime including making it an avi. good luck.The bums will never win Lebowski, the bums will never win!

pilotdave 0 #8 October 9, 2006 I just googled "mac dvd ripping" and found http://macs.about.com/od/osx/a/dvd_utils.htm as the first result. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pocbase 0 #9 October 9, 2006 Sorry, just thought he wouldn't be able to edit the footage with something like this.The bums will never win Lebowski, the bums will never win! Enfin j'ai trouvé: Bieeeen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 2 #10 October 9, 2006 QuoteSorry, just thought he wouldn't be able to edit the footage with something like this. On a PC you'd generally use: 1) a program to rip dvd, saves footage as avi/mpeg/... 2) program to import then edit that footage and export to web-size video quicktime/mpeg/divx/wmv/... My guess is you'd do the same on a Mac. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Dave, and everyone else that took the time to help me, THANKS!!! so mac the ripper was alot of work and not alot of pay off but it does work, I just used the program hand brake, it is what I use to rip dvd's to put on my ipod. I just chage some numbers around so it wouldn't play in a tiny ipod like screen or in a strange shape. it worked. I dropped it into imovie, add a song played with editting and now am able to upload it on the internet. I wish I could say it was a cool video but it was just my transition to hand deploy jump and since it was a coach jumped I did a bunch of things to mark of on my A-lcense card. Anyway, i love this website, it has helped me so much!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
