Since moving to my new Macbook, which runs Lion OSX, I've been looking for a new software to rip DVDs, since the wonderful Mac the Ripper is not compatible with my new computer. I've never had any success with Handbrake, and various other softwares I've tried - RipIt, MacDVDRipper, some other random things - save content into bizarre file formats that I can't make use of, at least not for vidding purposes.

Are there any Mac users who've had to abandon Mac the Ripper but found something comparable? Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thank you.

(I'm pretty new to vidding... and a Mac user...)

I've just finished a vid, and have been trying to upload it to the internet.

So far, it seems like I have two options:
1) have a vid with really good picture quality that is too big to put on the net
or
2) have a vid with crappy quality, but that I can put on the net

I've tried compressing the file using Streamclip , which gets me an uploadable vid at the expense of my pretty, pretty pictures.

Is there any way I can get my vid onto the internet (particularly so that I can show my LJ friends somehow) without having to sacrifice the picture quality?

I am ever struggling with better organization for my favorite vids. Today I decided to make a bunch of imeem playlists with as many favorite vids of mine as I could find on them. They are really handy because now I can watch favorite vids no matter what computer I'm at! I will always keep hard copies of my absolute favorite vids, but I'm really digging this system right now. Especially since imeem's interface and quality is so great. Check it out: http://www.imeem.com/beerbad/videoplaylists/

Also, I got approved to do a website and new vid as my senior media studies project this semester. For this new vid I am going to try to step up my game and make something more complicated, faster and shinier than the vids I've done previously. I will be using DVD footage exclusively. Now, my question is this: Should I use my own hardware and software (Dell laptop with Ulead Video Studio 11) or use my school's media studies facilities (professional setup with DVD capturing, Mac desktops, and Final Cut Pro)? I am obviously more comfortable with using my own computer, but if the high-tech Mac setup is going to make making this vid easier and better, I'm willing to switch over.

I would really appreciate any suggestions/thoughts the vidders in this community might have regarding this. I'm hoping to make a choice relatively soon so I can go to it!

AVS works on an Intel Mac, running Crossover (a Windows Emulator). Only in Premiere, so far. I don't plan to change the way I vid as a result, but it might be useful for some.

My husband has just become a Mac owner, and therefore needs to find new ways of handling his vidding files.

On his PC, he just ripped raw vob files with SmartRipper and used them directly in Vegas. He also ran AnyDVD to region crack the DVD drive, as we have both region 4 and region 1 DVDs.

Question 1 - is there a region crack for Macs?

Question 2 - for anyone here that uses Final Cut or Final Cut Express... what do you use to rip and encode your source?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I had a surprise upgrade this weekend to get my iMac enough RAM to run FCP6. As a result, I have some extra RAM lying around.

Would anyone like to buy my spare RAM on the cheap?

Hi, this might be the wrong place for this question, but I was wondering how to make fanvids with clips from TV episodes that are not out on DVD yet. Can you use clips from episodes bought on iTunes? I don't think so, 'cause those are in a protected format, right?

I'm pretty new at this, I'm on a Mac OS X, and I use iMovie. Thanks for any help.

"After dropping OS X support for Premiere some time in 2003, Adobe is bringing it back in the new Adobe Production Studio. The new software includes After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Encore DVD, and Soundbooth, and will be available for Apple's Intel-based computers in mid-2007; an updated version of the Windows suite will ship at the same time."

Adobe Premiere 6.5, the last version for OSX, was released on July 7, 2002. It was designed to run in 10.1 but it also worked in 10.2 (as far as I know).

Does anyone know of any free programs that can be used on Macs to break video files down into smaller segements? I'm trying to import one crazily large file into I-Movie, but it's...well...crazily large. ^^ I know that Quicktime Pro can do such things...but if there's another less monitarily involving way...::shuffles feet::

Hi, this is sorta about vidding, in a way. Can avi files be played on Mac? If they can't be played directly on a Mac, is there some sort of converter or special player?

Thanks!

Okay, we think we've got this goofy thing surrounded...

tzikeh thought to look at something I hadn't even known could be a problem...

The reason my vid looked so lousy at VividCon was that, even thought my capture PROGRAM says it can capture at full size, the capture DEVICE (an InterView) can only capture at half size. Gr.

So now I need a new capture device. Just because the things are so bloody expensive, I'd prefer not to have to buy a digital camcorder. My InterView was about $100, so if I can get a new OSX/G5 compatible firewire bridge for about that or a little more, I'd be a really happy camper.

Suggestions?

Waldo.
