    Hey guys,

    Im a student and need an easy (and hopefully free) way to get dvd files into avid. I have to edit a trailer of a film and I really don’t want to use VHS because of the crap quality. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Capture directly from the output of a DVD Player.

    I use the S-Video out on a DVD player, then de-select the deck button in the capture tool and basically crash record into Avid. You can’t control the deck or anything but it works.
