Problems ripping a DVD for use in FCP?

It needs to be a Quicktime file, not mp4. It should have the .mov extension.

That’s what OI though so I used QT to export it at an mov file and still the same error.

I don’t a n option in hamdbrake to save it as an mov, I’m trying to save it AVC/H.264 Video / AAC Audio now and see what happens.

Thanks again;

Hi
Can I post the 388th mention of using Mpeg Streamclip for extracting editable-format movies from DVD?

And the 389th.
The application works very well for converting DVD’s to Quicktimes and it’s free. Google it.
What more could you want?
Life is good.

Ayup. Handbrake is lame.

390th – After trying (and even buying) several utilities for this purpose I have finally come to two excellent and FREE apps. MacTheRipper and MPEG Streamclip. Now handling the occasional DVD’s we are handed for footage or B-roll is a breeze. MPEG Streamclip could charge $100 and it would still be a deal!

Fine you guys are correct. I only tried handbrake because someone last week recommended it in another post. The poster was having problems with MPEG Silpstream.

I tried it and it worked great.

Thanks again.
