    Well, I was once again given a DVD to clean up and stabilize for broadcast. I thought about having a good laugh, but I then decided it was a good time for a software tryout…

    Try out I did, 11 of them, and the winner is ?

    No contest: The name is Mpeg Stream clip.

    The only issue I have is how slow it is on some codecs, but I’m not sure it could be avoided given what it has to deal with.

    You also have to know what you are doing in picking the export settings.

    And best if all, it FREE.

    Cheers,

    Vince

    Good info. Can you provide us with some timing estimates?

    Divx is becoming a alternate for HD delivery on DVD, there are some up-converting DVD players supporting it now.

    As far as timing goes, it took a good hour on a Core 2 Duo laptop to export a 17 minutes clip to Quicktime animation, but the quality is untouched, and it plays beautifully in Premiere.

    I’m sure other codecs would be faster, but I can’t really compress this any further.

    BTW, Premiere would not even accept that same vob clip renamed to Mpe2.

    After stabilzing the footage in After Effects, and color correcting, I have to say that it is the best I’ve ever gotten out of a DVD.

    Vince,

    Did you try TMPEGEnc 4.0 Xpress? If so, how does it compare to your favorite?

    Dave,

    Well, at this point I was looking at freeware.

    Though I did hear it could yield to great results as well.

    I will be sure to give it a try on that next DVD extraction…

    I really hope – hoped – H.264 (and subsequent [quicker] codecs)
    would kill off DivX once for all. We’ve had loads of problems
    with DivX nagware, Dr.DivX instability and DivX codecs cocking
    up our Canopus software to last a lifetime. Let the pirates have
    their fun with it, but keep it out of the pro domain, I say.
    Maybe I’m wrong.

    Darren.
