Q: cannot rip dvd

  I have a DVD with a slideshow of a bunch of photos from my wedding that I want to RIP - or - import , as it were;  into imovie so I can grap parts of it for a video I'm building.  No matter what I do, no matter how many avenues I go down, no matter how many posts I read in this forum with people arguing back and forth about how easy or hard it is or what simple little free apps you need to download .......NOTHING works.  ALL of the "free" apps are bulls**t.  they watermark your work or give you one little clip of your movie unlees you buy the full $39.99 version.

   There are things I really like about this Imac and things I really hate....like this.  This should be so simple - yet it is not.

I'm not even sure if I'm asking a question or just ranting about this whole hting.  I guess I'm asking a question.  Does anyone REALLY know how to do this ?

I'm seriously about to drive to the apple store and plunk down the dvd on the counter.

 

(lol.....the posters that laugh and say how simple this is ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS leave out hugely important steps)

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

    >Yes it does play on a standard DVD player.

     

    In that case, it is either a regular DVD Video compliant disc with the pictures made into a slideshow which MPEG Streamclip can rip easily, or just a bunch of .jpeg photo files and your player is capable of working in Photo CD mode. You can copy those directly in the Finder.

     

    Burned discs can't be copy protected, only those made at a DVD replication plant. That only begins to be viable if you are having several hundred discs made.

    I just checked my Roxio Toast (for Mac) and am wondering if the studio used a software designed for Windows because......using Toast for Mac (they also make a Windows veersion), I can burn discs readable only by Macs or by Mac/PC and wondered if the same applies for a Windows version (have it only readable by a PC).... if you can get in touch with that studio, I'd ask some specific questions such as what software was used and what format the content (pics) is in.

    Have you considered contacting the photographer and asking for photo and video files in their original format? You would get better quality that way and it would probably be less work.

     

    Best of luck.

    Handbrake is great for iOS devices. Most of the world is still using DVD players. Mac The Ripper would would quickly rip the DVD and then it could be recreated with Popcorn or Toast.  I won DVD Fab. It is worthless and if you monitor its own forums, my opinion is common. There mist be a similar program to MTR for Lion.

    MPEG Streamclip. Not in the App Store, but free if you have the QuickTime MPEG Playback component, which is $20 I think, if you don't.

    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.
