Vegas itself can rip your DVD’s quite easily and automatically
drop it on the timeline for you to edit away.

I tried this and it showed that it was importing but the file sizes all showed 0 (size).

Vegas went thru the process and it appeared to be importing but I got 50 files of nothing.

Any suggestions?

Vegas will only import non commercial DVDs. Anything that is encrypted/protected will not work.

Dennis – profit or lack of it has NOTHING to do with copyright. You could be putting your company at serious risk if you use video clips from Hollywood movies without permission.

yep, this is the hard truth with this one. Even if you are using the disk for fair use you still cannot legally break the encryption and decode the DVD.

That being said, there are plenty of ways to rip DVDs and it is not hard.

I agree. You really need to consult with your legal department before you go any further. What may seem like an innocent video can get you into a lot of legal trouble for copyright infringement because it’s being used in a commercial environment. The days of thinking that no one will see it because it’s for internal use only are shattered once someone posts it to YouTube to show a friend.

[Dennis] “This is NOT for financial gain. (I buy ALL my audio and video software as well as my movies).”

You need to underwhat what you have “bought”. When you buy a DVD, you buy the rights to “watch” the movie. That’s it! You do not buy the rights to create a derivative work from that movie. That’s what you are doing by including a scene from a movie in a presentation that the original movie authors may or may not agree with.

As others have said, there are lots of free DVD rippers on the Internet. Be very careful. Lots of sites that offer DVD ripping software are laced with malware.
