    I have a client that wants me to take a pre existing DVD-R (that they have the rights to) and take that DVD Re edit the clips and Burn each clip to its own DVD How do I get the DVD into Premiere Pro is there a way for ripping it through the DVD-ROM to an AVI File or am I religated to capturing it from a DVD Video Player Through the Analog input

    I always capture to an AVI file – or convert to a DV tape then capture that (so you can batch capture at a later date for the next re-edit).

    Trying to find a program that works and then the time it takes to convert the VOB to anything useful, you might as well just capture to AVI.

    Seems most of the ripping software goes to MPEG4, DIVX or some other intermediary format as most of the software is designed to let you rip movies to CD or your hard drive.

    What version of Premiere Pro are you using? Version 2 drastically improved the ability to edit MPEG video. If you are using Premiere Pro 2, simply copy and paste the *.VOB files from your DVD to your harddrive. Rename the extension of the files from VOB to MPG and you should be able to import that within Premiere without a problem.

    I didn’t think Premiere would let you import a VOB with Dolby Digital sound.
    Never works for me.

    Yeah, the dolby audio will keep it from opening in Premiere
