editing ripped DVD footage on FCP
I’m cutting a director’s reel and he gave me his films on DVD. I ripped them using Mac the Ripper then transcoded them using ffmegX into DV files but when I import them into Final Cut, the audio needs to be rendered. Is there a way around this? A simple setting I missed? I don’t want to seem unprofessional when the director joins me in the edit bay and I have to rerender everytime I change an edit. Any advice would be appreciated,
Cheers,

I would do it with MPGStreamclip. Export to QT (Not Export to DV where you get a DV Sequence) and set the audio Uncompress-48Khz. If you go to re-compress the video in any momment, choos a better codec than DV.

you could also just export from the sequence as a AIFF and
bring it back in, no more rendering. -
Make sure the audio is 16bit 48k or you will have to render the audio.

Thanks! I’m going to try that just now…

If all footage is from the same source and you can’t change the output settings in ripper, you could change the prject settings in FCP.
Nice to see someone from motherwell learned to use the computers.
