Can’t capture DVD data
We are using Adobe Premier Pro and need to pull video off of a DVD a customer gave us and insert portions of the DVD footage into a project we are doing.
How can I do this using Adobe?
ANY help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

You can’t use Adobe for that. You need a DVD ripper. Or, with Premiere Pro 2.0 you can rename the VOB to MPG and get decent results.

You could also use the demo of Premiere Elements.

I use a program called Cinematize (by Miraizon – Mac and PC), which converts VOB data in Quicktime files (any codec). Works wonders. A freebie solution would by DVD2AVI (I’ve used this method to convert to uncompressed AVI, and works great – however, you’ll end up with enormous files segmented into 2 gig AVIs with a single WAV file). With both solutions, you can set in and out points, and the process is fairly quick with a decent CPU.

Not too sure how you are set up – and I am new at APP – but I am doing a big multi media input project and was abe to very successfully capture DVD video by using an external DVD player and inputing through S-video. If you are capturing from a MiniDV or DVCAM deck you can S-Video into the deck and use it as a pass thru to capture. Hope this is what you were looking for.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thanks to the very timely advice and help we were able to get a project completed and completed on time. I ended up using the DVD2AVI program, turned it into an mpeg and dumped it into our project.
Thanks again, very helpful sight.
