How to capture from a DVD in to FCP?

[Jerry Hofmann]

Search this forum on the word “demux”… it can be done with a small piece of software.

I’ve never done it myself, but I am told that a piece of software called Cinematize by Miraizon is the way to go.

I have to do it sometimes at work. I use a DVCAM deck and send the image & udio through using Svideo & RCA cords. U have to set the device settings in FCP to :non-controllable device”. Hope that helped

I have a DVD player in the edit booth, just play it through the capture card, in my case an AJA IO. Quick and simple and looks great.

You could rip the dvd into it’s streams. Search on the net for DVD ripping software. If you’re on apple then mac the ripper works well, there are a bunch of others out there. Don’t use them for any copyright infringement though.

hi!

thanx to all of u replied.
Is there no option built in FCP which lets u capture DVD directly in to FCP?
i heard a plug-in(which is FREE!!) called MPEG STREAM CLIP.
but i am facing a strange problem.May be the tool is not able to read the .VOB files properly or completely..?
right when the sequence i need to capture/convert to DV/Quictime starts….the head in MPEG STREAM CLIP tool reaches the end.
For e.g. the song in DVD starts at 26:03 and the song is in DVD’s file 02_05.VOB
and the moment it starts the head reaches it end of the bar??
and when i opened the 02_06.VOB hoping that the remaining would start automatically in it it show some other scene???
so where exactly did the song go? i am sure it is in 02_05.VOB but it reaching its end in the tool???
is there some limitation to this MPEG STREAM CLIP tool???
pls…help..its urgent…very urgent.i have to start on this promo today.And yes no copyright issue as its a show on Making of video which became very popular.and since i am working for a channel they have taken care of rights issue before hand.
Pls do help me out.Especially, someone who has used MPEGSTREAM CLIP plugin.
