    I recently finished a project. Two days later I lost everything to do with the project! I wasn’t too concerned until the client called today and asked me to change something. PANIC MODE!! I put in the final DVD, and was able to pull the VOB file into final cut..YEAH!!! Here is the problem I can’t find the audio on the DVD…The Audio-TS File is empty! I’m probably screwed this time, but in the future is there away to insure that I will be burning the audio as a file that I can later get from the DVD, as i did with the video this time????

    Thanks

    The Audio TS folder is always empty…its not used for normal DVD’s.

    You need a program that can open a DVD (or VOB) file and turn it into a Quicktime movie in a codec you can edit with.

    One such program I have had success with is DVDXDV

    There are others programs that do this, but this is the only one that I can personally vouch for. It works well

    The audio in a DVD is multiplexed into the same file as the video…thats why there is no audio file you can access.

    You may need MPEG Streamclip. a free app downloadable from the Apple site.

    Cinematize works great for making QuickTime files from a DVD! It costs $69 and does a great job. I’m sure others work just as well, but a friend suggested this one and I tried it and it works great. I just had to use it for a project because the raw tape couldn’t get here in time and the client didn’t care if I used the compressed DVD video.
