Importing DVD footage into Final Cut Pro
Hi,
I want to import footage from a 10 minute DVD into Final Cut Pro to edit. It’s not copyright protected, just a friend’s demo reel. I have been able to copy the disk to my hard drive and watch it with DVD Player, but Final Cut Pro won’t recognize it, even though it is in MPEG-2 format. I have been able to import tutorial footage into FCP before from DVD with no
problem. What’s going on? When I click on the disk, I get Video TS files. I try to import those with no success by dragging. Thanks for any insights. -

Is there any other way to import from DVD or is a third-party software the only way?
Thanks,
Douglas

You can route the DVD player thru your camera and either record it to a DV tape (if it is a commercial copy protected DVD the camera won’t allow you to do this) or if the camera supports play-through you can capture the signal directly into FCP.
