Capturing from DVD
Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to capture from a DVD player. I just got a Phillips 3400 DVD player with an i-link to firewire connection, and I connected it to my G5 and am trying to get picture in the capture tool, with the DV-NTSC easy setup but it won’t come on. Any thoughts? Is there a way to capture from a regular DVD from inside the G5?
Thanks!

I solved the same problem a few weeks ago, thanks to a previous post. Go to Apple’s website and – for $20 – download Quicktime Mpeg2. Then download the free Mpeg Streamclip Converter from a different website (I forgot which one – you should be able to Google the site name.) Together, these two pieces will allow you to import the file folder named Video_TS, which you can locate by simply double-clicking on the DVD icon of the DVD you want to dub from. Once this folder is imported into the Mpeg Streamclip Converter, you can convert the files into several different formats that can then be imported into Final Cut. Good luck.
