Importing DVD footage
Have a project that involves footage from individual’s DVD’s (not copyrighted). Other than taking an output from the player into my DVX camera and then into the computer is there another way? Would like to preserve quality as much as possible. Using Premiere 6.0 on a G4. Thanks in advance for the advice.

If you do plan on retaining good quality footage, your best bet would be to go from a DVD player to the camera or to a TBC deck.
But, if you plan on ripping the disc and then want to edit the clips that way, take a look at https://www.videohelp.com for various tools that may help you.

Thanks for your post. I’ll investigate the site but can you say how much quality loss will occur with the first approach versus the second? Thanks again,

John,
I’m interested in doing the same. How do you take the output into a DVX camera? What do you need to do that and what are the details of the hook up?
I think this would be MY best bet after trying 3 different ripping software packages and experiencing a lot of problems.Joe Landau

Joe,
I still don’t think the quality is that good doing it this way but I guess it beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick…
1. Hook RCA or SVHS cables from output of your DVD player (same with VHS deck, btw)
2. Plug the other ends into the RCA / SVHS sockets of your DVX
3. Stick in a DVD and a tape.
4. Start searching and recording with your double fisted remotesBest of luck,

John,
Thanks. After my experience with ripping DVDs, I think this might be the best way yet. I’ll give it a try.
