    Posted by Canes76 on February 8, 2007 at 5:37 pm

    I do a lot of highlight videos, now some of my customers are bringing me dvd’s of either footage they put on from minidv or HI-8 tapes, or footage from the direct to dvd camera’s…

    My question is: Is there an easy piece of software that I can buy to convert these files to AVI so I can put them into PPRO to edit?

    Anybody have experience with this?

    Thanks

    Most digital camcorders have a “pass thru” capacity. Connect your DVD player to your camcorder via s/video or composite and then your camcorder to your PC and via firewire and capture as dv.avi in Premiere.
    You may have to fiddle with the cams menu to enable this.
    OR buy an analog/digital converter.
    Either of these methods results in real time conversion.

    I do not have pass through on my camera, but I do have a Canopus ADVC-110. I have done this with my VCR, so are you saying I can do it with a DVD player?

    Yes. It’s the same process.

    DVFilm Maker ( https://dvfilm.com/maker ) can convert VOB or MPG files directly
    into AVI or quicktime. It can also at the same time (if you want)
    convert 60i to 24p, 60i to 30p, or remove 3:2 pulldown, with very
    high quality, probably better quality than you would get by capturing
    from the analog output of a DVD player.
