How can I copy my own DVDs dvd-video on an iMac?
I saved a huge amount of old movies on my reader dvd recorder and now wonder if I can copy so they can still play on the dvd player - an old Panasonic with component cables to connect to my old TV with the large projection in the back [a picture tube?]. I tried to make copies with my new mac that has El Capitan, but it won't work. If I try to make my own movies via iMovie, they will not play on my old player because he apparently only play movies in dvd-video format [DVD-V], not the new divx format. Any suggestions? I tried Googling but can't find an answer. What is interesting is that the dvd drive on my mac of El Capitan will play my old DVD. Why they can't be copied?
If they are records of commercial films, then the DRM/copyright protection could be the cause - you are not allowed to copy commercial movies.

How can I view a Windows DVD based on my iMac
There is no such thing as a Windows based DVD, they can be read by all computers. Of course, you will have a DVD player for your iMac, Apple made one retina or you can find other retailers such as Amazon or my personal favorite OWC (www.macsales.com).
But what is important is the content of the DVD, if you can give us a clue it then we can tell you more.

How can I copy all the 18 000 pictures on my imac to an external hard drive to give to my daughter and keep them all on my imac
Your daughter have a Mac and use Photos? If so just copy your library of Photos to SMT, it must be formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with the defined property is ignored. Then she can use the SMT library or copy it on his Mac.
If she doesn't have a Mac do the following:
1 - Create a new folder on the external drive.
2 - Select all photos in the library (in the window of Photos).
3. Select the file ➙ ➙ export export Original unmodified for XXXXX items menu option.
4. in the format of subfolder select Export window = name of the time
5. in the next window, select the folder that you created on the external drive as the destination of export and export all your photos to this. Photos at every moment in your photo library will be put in a folder with the date of that moment and this issue will be put on the EHD in the folder that you created.

How can I copy a CD/DVD in Windows 7 without any additional software?
Well... I want to make a copy of a CD/DVD in Windows 7 without having to install any additional software. Is this possible? I mean I really think something like option to copy CDs that are extremely easy to find.
The answer is you can't. Not with Windows 7 64 Bit Enterprise Service Pack 1 when you are a user and not an administrator.
& Support offers you a video to show you how to copy the data from your computer to a disc that can be used on a variety of devices (called a mastered disc) or copy data to a disc that works as a (Directory Live) USB Flash drive on an XP or a newer operating system.
You will need additional software installed on your computer, you can install if you have administrator privileges on your machine.

How can I create my own DVD for first Elements 7 menu templates
I'm a software developer. I say this because I want to establish that I am completely able to program the software to a level well beyond the normal "user". I would like to develop my own models of DVD menu for use with first Elements 7. What tools do I need to do?
More important still, why the PE7 does not support this capability? I ask because the other movie making software I tested provide ways to create DVD menus customized from scratch. (and have more than one default template to customize) I don't mention the name of the competitor for fear of censorship of this entire thread.
Well, as I said, the amazing DVD Architect Studio is only $39. And you can create almost any kind of DVD menu with it!
As for the other models of DVD for Premiere Elements, you can download additional content from the same place, you downloaded the trial.

(Note: in Windows 7 you may be able to import the)
VOB files in Movie Maker just as they are)(FWIW... you can probably play the files renamed

How can I copy large files (> 15 GB) on several CDs or DVDs using features in Windows 7? I tried Media Player, but simply, he stops and tells me that the file I copy is great. I am looking for a way that will tell me to enter another dissk and continue copying until the file has copied at the end.
You need to split the file into segments that will be adapted on the disks you are using.
Windows has no characteristic that will do this for you. You can get a BluRay drive and disc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc, when you should be able to fit on a single disk file.

===========================================
Complex issue... but I'll try to offer some ideas.Data that cannot be rewritten on the photo files are archived in the
Windows Live Photo Gallery database owner (Pictures.pd5).
So... move the files may prevent access to the data.If you move the files to another computer, you may have some
moviing success the Pictures.pd5 file also.Sometimes data are not written back to the image files, because they
are read only... and sometimes it's because of the file format.Maybe the next thread will enlighten us:
