capturing from a DVD
I need to capture a twenty-minute DVD to Premiere Pro 2.0 to make a few edits (the DVD is a few years old and the client wants to update captions, but no longer has any of the original footage or video files). It seems I can’t capture directly from my laptop’s DVD drive, nor can I capture from a DVD player directly to my laptop. What do I need to capture this video? Thanks.

Guys,
If your DVD is not protected, just copy the VOB files to your hard disk and rename the extension to Mpg. Premiere will import the file and you will notice Premiere indexing the video in the lower right corner (like audio conforming). It’s not in the manual nor in the Premiere help files. 🙂
If its protected, google search a software (lots out there) to enable you to copy the VOB to your hard disk and remove the protection (without converting your vob), then rename and import to Premiere.
If that doesnt work, get a cheap canopus ADVC100, hook up your DVD player to it, then connect it (ADVC100) to your laptop. Press the source select button on the ADVC (usually silver) for 10secs, and viola! copyright protection is now defeated.

Alex,
Just curious – do you know if that 10 second trick works on the ADVC-300 as well? Thanks.

I dont have an ADVC300 so I’m not sure Tim. But I think it will still work because they just added a component connection to ADVC 300.

Thanks. I’ll have to give it a shot & try it out on the ADVC-300. It’s pretty rare that I need to do that – but once in a while a client has something internally produced that is CSS encoded but it’s nice to have a method just in case.
