VTS files, to use or not??
Happy New Year to all!
I am wanting to put together a demo and use clips from various weddings that I have produced. I have the original DV tapes that I shot at the weddings. However, I am wondering if I could use the VTS files from the DVDs I have saved in my archive. Do you lose resolution or quality using VTS files? TIA, Jim

Best to compile your demo from the DV Tape sources.
To extract from Past DVD’s, the resolutions will be a bit lossy
and compressed…You want your demo looking sharp and pristine.Steve Rhoden

I don’t know what version you are using, but you should be able to file/import/DVD Camcorder Disc and point it to the VTS file that ends in .vob.
It will take some time to put it on the timeline but you should be able to “smart render” or otherwise not recompress the files again except where you make cuts or apply fx, etc. I do believe you will need to make sure that the bitrate matches or else you may not be able to smart render. You should be able to use g-spot to tell you the bitrate if you don’t remember what bitrate you encoded them too.
Test it on a short segment first to ensure you see the screen in your preview window that says “no recompression”.

Steve,
We need to consult on our answers before answering. I think this is the second or third time we gave conflicting advice 🙂
