How to Convert DVD to iTunes
<< Back to Mac DVD Ripper Site
Most people own several DVDs that they would like to see on iTunes. However, for commercial reasons, Apple does not provide any means of ripping a DVD to iTunes. Therefore, the only recourse left to people is to use some other software to do the conversion. There are professional products in the market that will allow you to convert your DVD collection for viewing on iTunes.
You can easily rip your DVDs with a professional DVD ripper like Tipard iTunes. You will be able to convert DVDs without any loss in quality. Other features available are cropping of the black bar, appending effects to the DVD video, splitting the video, or merging multiple files and many more. This converter makes it possible for you to play your DVD collection through iTunes on your iPod Touch, iPhone4, iPad or other compatible portable players.
The operation of conversion is simple and can be performed by anyone, without technical knowledge. The software is available on two platforms, Windows and Mac, so both types of users can avail it. Linux users will need to use AVIDemux-2 and convert their DVDs to MP4 for watching on iTunes.
Windows users will initially need to download and install Tipard iTunes DVD Ripper on their system and run it. Clicking on 'Load DVD' will add the DVD Movies that you want to rip to iTunes. With this converter, it is possible to convert ISO files as well.
Next, you will have to select the output format. For converting and playing on iTunes, the format you will need is M4V, MP4 or MOV. Therefore, select MP4 from the 'Common Video'. Indicate the output folder where you want the converted file to be.
At this point, either you may want to convert the entire DVD without any further changes, or you may want to edit the video to get a customized iTunes video. The software has several powerful editing features that will make the editing a simple affair, and you can enjoy your self-produced video in your favorite iTunes in any of the portable devices.
However, if no further editing is required, then simply hit the 'Start' button to begin the conversion. Depending on how big your original DVD was, you may have to wait for a while before your converted file is ready.
Once the conversion is finished, you may check out the quality of your converted video file in any iPhone4, iPad or iPod Touch, playing iTunes. If you are satisfied, you may plan to store the video on your hard disk or burn it onto a DVD.

Convert MTS Video to iMovie
Tips to convert MTS Video to iMovie
<< Back to Mac DVD Ripper Site
Mac computers are unable to import MTS video files that are generated by HD Camcorders. For a Mac computer to be able to import MTS video formats, it has to be running iMovie'09 on an Intel Dual Core or Core Duo Processor, which is a rare case for most users. Therefore, there is a need for a simple method to convert MTS to iMovie such that it is easily imported into a Mac.
Formats that are supported by iMovie include MP4, MPEG, MOV and DV. Therefore, for importing MTS video files, first you will need a converter that can convert MTS into one of the formats that iMovie can understand. With these converters, it is the matter of only a few steps to convert your MTS files into the proper format. Then you will be able to watch all your MTS files on creative zen, Apple TV, Blackberry, Gphone, iPhone, iPod and PSP.
Most video converters will allow you to convert your MTS files to iMovie formats, as well as other formats such as RM, MKV, RMVB, DivX, Xvid, AVI, 3G2 and WMV. This allows you the comfort of editing your videos from your HD camcorders with Premiere Pro, FCP, and FCE, including iMovie. The converters are intelligent enough to be loss-less, so you need not worry about losing any video quality.
For converting the MTS files, first you will have to use a good video converter of your liking. Install this on your Mac and run it. You may either use the drag and drop feature to add your MTS files or use the 'Add File' button to select the desired files, from the list of file types that will pop-up.
Select the output file format, one that is compatible with iMovie, such as the MP4. Now, the only other operation to be done is to click on the 'Convert' button, and your MTS files are converted. Select the MP4 files to be imported and click 'import' to watch them in iMovie.
On your Mac, iMovie can be used to edit, organize and share video clips from camcorders. It is a great application that can also stabilize and correct shaky video clips from your camcorder. As claimed, iMovie ought to be compatible with popular HD camcorders like JVC GZ-HD40, Sony DCR-SR47, Panasonic HDC-HS300 and Canon VIXIA HF200. However, this mostly does not happen, and there is no other alternative than to convert the MTS output from these camcorders to a format that iMovie does understand. If you want iMovie for Windows, go to http://www.imoviewindows.com/

Best Freeware Video Compression software
The Best Freeware Video Compression Programs
Post-production often requires video compression, so finding a free program is important.Shrinking the File
Digital video production and post-production almost requires some form of video compression. The different platforms for distribution, from websites to DVD, all require something slightly different. No matter what platform it is, a standard QuickTime file will usually be too big. This is the reason that every video editor must have a video compression program in his or her tool belt, and a free video editor is much better than one that costs a lot of money.
Lots of Compressors
There are a number of programs out there that will let you do certain type of video compressions. This is one of the most pervasive types of free, or semi-free, software on the Internet. Even programs like iTunes and Divx will allow you to do this in some fashion.
What separates a great video compression program apart from the pack is the number of file types it can work with and its specific design in conjunction with digital video post-production.
Prism
Prism AVI/Video Converter Software is a great program that supports a number of formats, including .wmv, divX, and a variety of mpeg formats. The problem is that its full version costs, but the free version available on its website is good enough for almost all uses. Their website also has links to a number of other types of conversion software, such as a converter for VHS to DVD transfer.
Combining Programs
Open Video Converter and MSU Lossless Video Codec are two programs that are plastered all over the Internet, but neither programs are stellar. Together they may be able to get the majority of your projects done. They fall under the same problem that programs like OGM to AVI Converter and PPT to Videoscout fall into, they do one or two conversions very well and leave the rest of the formats behind.
RAD
One absolutely free compression program that stands above the rest is the RAD Video Tools. Again, it will not do everything, but it is fairly reliable. The rule of thumb with free compression software is that you usually need two or three different programs to get everything done.
Buy One?
If you are serious about video publishing then you may already have a great video slideshow maker. If this is true you might just want to stick with their onboard video compression tools. An all-purpose video compression program like Apple’s Compressor is better than almost anything you will be able to find for free.

Free video editing software list windows
Free video editing software list for windows
Recently, one of the visitors asked me about video editors or video editing software. So I decided to do some research and put up a list of free video editing software or what people usually refer to as free video editors for Windows.Here’s the chosen software listed in no particular order:
Avedit
It is a great tool to work with .AVI files. Regardless of small executable size, this avi editor offers you unlimited power of digital video processing. Some high-tech tricks included into AVIedit allows you to perform with ease and fun the many interesting things, like video warping, color restore, noise reduction and so on…
DVD Slideshow Builder
DVD Slideshow Builder is a great home movie maker software. It easily combines your digital photos & videos into DVD slideshow movie and sweet home videos with premade movie themes, professional DVD menu templates, background music, 2D/3D transition effects, captions, and voice narrations. The real-time Preview function helps you control the timing precisely. The all-in-one authoring capability enables you to burn standard DVD Discs for watching on TV or convert to videos for iPhone, iPod, and PSP.
Avid Free DV
Avid Free DV is feature-streamlined, standalone video editing software which includes basic video and audio editing capabilities, up to two streams of real-time effects and support for both Windows XP and Macintosh OS X platforms.
Avidemux
Avidemux is a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding tasks. It supports many file types, including AVI, DVD compatible MPEG files, MP4 and ASF, using a variety of codecs. Tasks can be automated using projects, job queue and powerful scripting capabilities.
Chopper XP
Chopper XP is a tool that lets you extract a part of any DVD easily. It is a Vob cutting program with a video display and a great interface. You just need to scroll to a location and select mark in and out points. The program also lets you set any priority of extraction and displays the estimated time left for extraction.
Blender
model • shade • animate • render • composite • interactive 3d
Blender is the free open source 3D content creation suite, available for all major operating systems.
Jashaka
The worlds first open source, hardware accelerate editing and effects system! Well worth to check it out.
FFMpeg
FFmpeg is a collection of free software that can record, convert and stream digital audio and video. It includes libavcodec (a leading audio/video codec library), and libavformat (a leading audio/video container mux and demux library). FFmpeg is developed under Linux, but it can be compiled under most operating systems, including Windows. The project was started by Gerard Lantau, a pseudonym of Fabrice Bellard, and is now maintained by Michael Niedermayer. It is notable that most
FFmpeg developers are also part of the MPlayer project, the VLC/VideoLAN project, plus one member of the xine project, and that FFmpeg is hosted at the MPlayer project server.
Jahshaka
Jahshaka is the worlds first OpenSource Realtime Editing and Effects System. Jahshaka takes advantage of the power of OpenGL and OpenML to give its users exceptional levels of performance. We currently support Linux, OsX, Irix and Windows, and Solaris is on the way! Jahshaka is licenced to the public under the GNU GPL agreement.

It operates with all known types of AVI including DV AVI type 1 and 2.
WAX
Wax is a high performance and flexible video compositing and special effects software. The idea for Wax is to be very general purpose and flexible in video compositing and effects, so that you can compose your dream video sequence with ease everytime.
Wax can create 2D & 3D special effects and can work in two modes – as a standalone application which would appeal for home users/beginners, and as a “plug-in” to video editors/NLEs which would be more useful for professional editors. Currently Wax can work as a plug-in with Sony Vegas, Pure Motion EditStudio and Adobe Premiere and work for integrating with various other NLEs is in progress.
Virtual Dub
VirtualDub is a video capture/processing utility for 32-bit Windows platforms (95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP), licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It lacks the editing power of a general-purpose editor such as Adobe Premiere, but is streamlined for fast linear operations over video. It has batch-processing capabilities for processing large numbers of files and can be extended with third-party video filters. VirtualDub is mainly geared toward processing AVI files, although it can read
(not write) MPEG-1 and also handle sets of BMP images.Editing AVI files is easily done through VirtualDub but for .wmv and .mpg files the tools are less easily available.
ZS4 Video Editor
ZS4 Video Editor is video editing and compositing software which aims to provide media experts with a facility to combine a variety of media types (currently photos, videos and audio files) into one (or more) output file(s).
Virtual Edit
Virtual Edit is a semi-professional software video editing package aimed at ambitious content creators to video novices, who want to produce material with a slick and professional look, on a limited budget. Virtual Edit has been written by experts with experience in the Television and Broadcasting industries, which has been encapsulated in this simple software package.

With Zwei-Stein you can edit up to 256 video, audio and still image clips, each with up to 64 effects chained serially. Cropping, panning and custom effects are easy with automatic key frames.
Let me know if there are other free video software that I missed so I could add it to this list. Next, I’ll come up with a list of free video editing software for Macs so stay tuned!

Best Video Editing Software for You

Good video editing software offers practical tools to capture, organize, edit and share videos. And HD video editing software gives you a chance to enhance your camera/camcorder HD videos and to burn to DVD for watching on TV or long time saving. Recently, I have reviewed several good video editing software in the market, most of which is HD or free video editing software, but free video editing software with professional video editing effects is a priority because video editing is to share and most free video editing software will fulfil this need, and easy to use.
Free Windows Live Movie Maker - Less Powerful, but Easier Than Ever
Windows Movie Maker might be the easiest video editing software. It's the free video editing software that comes with Window system from Windows Me to Vista. Now, you get Windows Live Movie Maker - the latest free video editing software for Vista and 7. Most video editing software adds increasing numbers of features, but not Windows Live Movie Maker. The team developing Movie Maker studied that most video editing users want to edit the videos quickly and easily share with others. So they decide to trim down unnecessary features to build a superb easy video editing software for beginners.
Windows Live Movie Maker uses a ribbon-style interface.
It simplifies movie creating/editing and lets you share with friends and family in a flash. When you are satisfied, save movies to WMV or directly publish to YouTube and Facebook. It's dead easy to use that targets the basic video editing market. I suppose it be good free video editing software, without advanced features as DVD Slideshow Builder and Sony Vegas Pro.
Note: Run Windows Live Movie Maker by: Start > All Programs > Windows Live. If not there, download the free video editing software here and install first.
DVD Slideshow Builder - Combines Ease of Use & Advanced Features
Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder is not free video editing software. It's the commercial SD and HD video editing software for amateurs and hobbyist. Today is the HD era. More and more cameras and camcorders support high-definition video recording.

For video creating and editing, just import your videos, and you will find them on Storyboard or Timeline.

The supported HD video formats of DVD Slideshow Builder includes AVCHD (MTS/M2TS), TP/TRP/TS/M2T and HD MOV/ HD MKV/HD AVI/HD MPG. Unfortunately, DVD Slideshow Builder doesn't provide Blu-ray DVD or HD DVD Burning. As the intermediate video editing software, DVD Slideshow Builder balanced the ease of use and advanced features, but less powerful than professional video editing software like Sony Vegas Pro 9.
iMovie '09 - Free Video Editing Software for Mac
If you are a Mac user, there are no reasons not to try iMovie '09. It's free video editing software for Mac that works seamlessly with iDVD for burning videos to DVD. The iMovie '09 offers a new interface for high efficient media management, video editing and organizing memories.

To make/edit video, import from your Mac, or directly from camera, camcorder, and then, it's simple to add a green screen effect, music tracks or creative titles. Many graphic templates and transitions are included in iMovie '09. HD video editing is also supported, but the same as DVD Photo Slideshow Builder, it doesn't burns Blu-ray DVDs. Overall, if you are a video editor looking for advanced features and precise control, iMovie will frustrate you, but it's the top video editing software for beginners on Mac.
Note: To open iMovie, click the pentagram icon in the dock, or go through Finder > Applications, select the icon to open iMovie. Not found on Mac? Download Mac video editor here.
Sony Vegas Pro 9 - Professional Video Editing Software
Sony Vegas Pro 9 is the most professional video editing software among them. Initially, Sony Vegas was just audio editing software and now developed to powerful video editing software for professionals. It provides a tough platform for video editing, that simplifies your video editing and speeds up your video workflow. All these make Sony Vegas the high-priced (Over $500) but cost effective video editing software.
Sony Vegas Pro 9 is fully-featured. It offers an efficient and intuitive environment for professional video and broadcast production with precise editing tools, superior audio control, professional workflow for 32-bit & 64-bit systems and powerful Blu-ray disc authoring. Like DVD Slideshow Builder, Sony Vegas supports both SD and HD videos with drag-n-drop functionality. Plus, it burns videos to Blu-ray DVD with subtitles, multiple languages and special features. In a word, Sony Vegas Pro 9 is the all-in-one professional video editing software. Get it here.
Conclusion
Video editing software lets you enhance your videos and adds final touches such as titles and special effects before sharing with the world. Both Windows Live Movie Maker and iMovie are free video editing software for beginners. Choose it depending on your platform. If it's a PC, try Windows video editor, use iMovie on a Mac. For professionals, Sony Vegas Pro is the first choice due to its omnipotence and precise controls on every detail.

Free video editing software introduction
Free Video Editing Software
Free Video Editing Software is not just a dream that you wish would come true. Today as the world has evolved to open source software, or free software, there is just about at least one free software for everything you can imagine and video editing software with professional video editing effects is one of them. If you are like a lot of people in this world and enjoy making your own home movies or videos you have probably realized by now that you need to have some sort of editing software to really make your movie look professional and polished. If you have ever looked for this type of software you know you can spend a lot of money on a professional version of some of even the most basic editing software programs.
Unless you have a pile of money you want to spend on a hobby of editing video’s then you probably are looking for another option for some editing software for your videos. You are in luck because there are a few free open source systems that you can use to make your videos into something that you are proud of. Some of the best ways to start to find these is to do a search on the internet and see what pops up. Also, if you are already into film making, you probably belong to a blog or forum and you can ask your fellow video friends what type of software they use and if it is open source or not.
If you do find a few systems that are free, its best to do some research before you decide to go with one or the other. Open source or free, video editing programs are great but they do have their drawbacks. You will want to check to make sure that the software choice you make is one that is active and there are an active group of people working on it to maintain it, fix bugs, and continuously improve it. This is critical information to be aware of because you will spend a lot of time learning the software and if it is not one that is being kept up, you are going to have to start all over again with another free software system so it’s best to take a little bit longer to research these free systems and determine what kind of support is behind them.
If it wasn’t for the rise of the Internet we would still all be spending thousands of dollars on software systems for at home video editing use. In today’s world we now have plenty of free options to choose from. One other tip to note is also to think about supporting whatever video editing system you decide to go with. People spend a lot of their own time creating these free software and if you are getting good use out of it, it is a nice gesture to give some money in support of those people who are working behind the scenes.
