How do I rip a DVD into A High Quality file to use in FCP?
I have a DVD that I need to use in one of my edits. The dvd is not copyright protected. I have handbrake and I work on a cruise ship so downloading another app is too expensive because of the speed of the internet. I could potentially down load an app in one of our ports.
If handbrake will work what are the settings I should use?
Thanks

DO NOT USE Handbrake. It is not meant to rip DVDs to editing codecs. Use MPEG STREAMCLIP, and encode to DV50 (also known as DVCPRO 50).

I use mpeg streamclip and set it to transcode to Prores 422- at max quality you’ll be looking at some big files though!

”IMHO, ProRes HQ is total overkill for material taken from DVD’s. It’s probably overkill for 99% of what most folks are cutting.
In the case of a ripped DVD, there is only so much information to be had from the source, and standard ProRes easily exceeds this. As you noted ProRes HQ results in really big files, which is really the only extra you will get over standard quality ProRes.Scott Sheriff

I didn’t say HQ, I meant with mpeg streamclip set to maximum quality. 🙂

If quality is not absolutely paramount – try DVDxDV and transcode to a DV file, small download and quite cheap!
