    Is there any way to capture footage from blu-ray disc in FCP and keep it HD?

    I’m not trying to steal or copy any movies, it’s for an internal video.

    thanks,

    Wow…this is new.

    No doubt you will need a capture card, but no doubt there might be encryption on there than prevents the card from capturing the video file. I don’t know of any software ripper like MPEG STREAMCLIP or DVDxDV that will work on BluRay.

    And despite it’s internal use, capturing Hollywood movies for ANY use that you don’t get clearance for is a legal no no.

    [Jerry Alto] “Check out the Blackmagic Intensity card which has HDMI in.”

    That absolutely will not work. HDMI from a Blu-ray player uses HDCP encryption.

    Analog component capture could work, but not if the disc uses Macrovision protection.

    Creative Cow is not the proper forum to learn how to rip Blu-ray discs. I would look elsewhere.

    If it’s an internal video why use the original footage?

    I’m in advertising and we do “mood” videos, as we call them, that use existing footage such as movie clips, television shows, commercials…etc, edited together with a music track.
    We do this to get approval from the client on a proposed commercial or advertising campaign. They are shown in a meeting of about 6 people. It’s a standard process in the advertising world.

    I just needed to this one in HD.
