AMA link to a DVD

[Michael Kammes]

No, AMA does not recognize a DVD file structure (nor the raw format of the MPEG) as acceptable.

If this is a personal burned DVD, and not copyrighted, then your best bet is to rip the disc or play out of a DVD into the Avid. Since it has no protection on it, you should be fine.

BTW, since when are screeners not copyrighted? I’m sure if I were to rip or use my academy screeners, I’d be in a world of hurt if I was caught.

The only thing to add here is this: mpegstreamclip is the (cross platform, open source) method of getting material off a DVD

Bad phrasing on my part. Yes it is copyrighted material. A “screener” from a stock footage library that we use as a temp file and then when the edit is finalized we purchase the rights to the master and cut that in for the broadcast. A lot of houses are sending their stock footage on DVDs.

Thats what I thought. I was just hoping for new, faster way to go from DVD into the Avid. Thanks though.
