    I need to transfer some DVD material into a FCP project. I have permission to do so.

    Anyway, I’ve read some previous posts here about the virtues of MPEG Streamclip.

    Before using that, do I need to rip the DVD’s using Mac The Ripper, or is MPEG Streamclip a self-contained process?

    Using the two (Streamclip and Mac the R.), I’ve been able to extract video, but for some reason, no audio.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The process is all done in Streamclip, MTR is not required. And, set Streamclip to create a DV file, not an MPEG file, then your audio will come in too.

    Hi Ken,
    If the DVD is protected, I think you need MacTheripper. I don’t think MPGStreamclip can do it.
    Once you have ripped the DVD, open MPGStreamclip and from there open the VOBs of the ripped files. Them export to QT. You will get a window where to select the QT codec and the audio set-ups. Export your audio 48Khz and 16 bits. If For the video choose at least DVCPro50 or even better codec. In MPGStreamclip you can set IN and OUT points so you can export what you need.
    Dont export DV because you will get a DV Sequence as the used by iMovie.
    Cheers,
    Rafael
