Do you mean prores?
Try Mpeg Stream clip – rips right to mpeg2.

My mistake” premiere pro”
I’m ripping to mpeg 2 with tipard

So you’re ripping a MPEG-2 (DVD) into MPEG-2 format to make a DVD? Am I missing something here?

If you want to edit the video in Premiere it’s best to rip it into some sort of intermediate codec (DNxHD, Cineform, DV NTSC, etc), then edit, then export to Encore via Media Encoder (I’m not a huge fan of the Dynamic Link aspect as it can be a bit flaky sometimes, which may be your problem).

You can try exporting your timeline out via Media Encoder as a MPEG-2 (use a preset) and import that standalone file into Encore.

In the future: MPEG Streamclip does the same thing as Tipard except it’s free (for Mac or Windows).

Thanks, as you can tell I am not well versed in this whole arena. I will try your suggestions. I did rip the DVD into an avi file, edited it, and then sent it to encore, and the same thing happened. The DVD would not play.

Thanks again

If the DVD doesn’t have any protections on it then you can drag the VOB files straight into Premiere.

Taking in all the advice- I drug the DVD content into my hard drive, imported it into premiere pro, edited it, imported into encore( not dynamic link) burned the new DVD and it worked just fine.

Thank you all for your help!

First, you can try to copy the .VOB files from your DVD(home made without copy protection) to your computer, then change the .VOB extension to .MPG and import. Usually Adobe Premiere could accept the files.

Well, for those commercial DVDs, you need to move the copy protection and convert DVD to Adobe Premiere Pro editable file type. To convert DVD movies to Adobe PP, a DVD ripping tool is needed.
