    I have a project that’s already on DVD. My client wants to me to keep the project the same but edit some different music. How do I import from a DVD. I have both a DVD burner on my hard drive, as well as, an external DVD player hooked up through my Mini DV camera. What do I need to do? I also have Encore DVD do I need to import directly into that or use Premiere Pro first? I’m hoping that I’m making this more difficult than it really is…it seems like I should easily be able to capture from a dvd.

    How I do this is to open up the DVD on the Computer (not play it, but open it as a folder). Somewhere on there, there will be a .vts (I think) file. Just look for the largest file, that will be it. This essentially is a mpg file, so copy it to your computer and change the extension from .vts to .mpg. Then you should be able to open it in any program you wish.
