How can I copy the contents of my dvd to the hard drive? It is from a home movie that was transferred onto a DVD. I would like to send it via e-mail. is this possible?
thanks
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2), it is a dvd that has been converted
You need to convert it first to a smaller file. You can't typically send several gigabytes of video via email. You could copy the contents of the DVD to your mobile me account by making a Disk Image of the DVD using the Disk Utility. A typical DVD is 4.7 gigabytes, so the coping will take over night. If you just want people to view the DVD movie, you might want to rip it from the DVD and put it on Youtube as a private video. I would recommend doing this with DVDxDV. It can break up a long video into multiple parts and upload it to Youtube.
It's still a bit of a challenge to pull stuff off DVDs and post to YouTube. Definitely doeable, especially with commercial software, but an option is to just make a copy of the DVD and send it via snail mail.
