How do I import IFO, VMO, and BUP files? Help!
I’m trying to capture footage recorded by a Sony DCR-DVD505. I’ve never tried to get footage from a DVD into Avid before; usually I work with mini DV camcorders that have a 1394 IEEE hook-up. Being that I don’t have any deck from which to capture the DVDs, and that the camcorder doesn’t have a firewire hookup, all I’ve been able to do is attempt to import the data on the disc, which is in IFO VOB and BUP format, and this does not work. Any suggestions?

The easiest way is to take the analog out of the DVD player and run it through a converter (Mojo or your camcorder) into the Avid. There is a program callled StreamClip (google it) that allows you to take the DVD files and convert them to QT (among other files). BE VERY CAREFUL if you put this program on your editor. StreamClip requires either quicktime pro ($30.00USD) or a program called alternate quicktime (a link is on the StreamClip site). If you decide to put this on your Avid, buy QT Pro from Apple and MAKE SURE the version you are putting in your editor is supported by your current Avid software. If you go with QT alternate, I strongly recommend using an entirely different machine, and sneakernetting / transferring the files to your Avid. Bad things happen when you mess with the lesser gods of quicktime….
