I know….its very frustrating….at first I was excited, because I thought oh great…maybe I won’t have to worry about the time it takes to capture…now I’m wishing they were simply DV. You live and learn….but you’re exactly right…the project is actually a bunch of high school volleyball footage, trying to make an end of the season highlight tape for them!! I advertise for this business…so thats what I get..but I normally prefer to shoot the video myself. Thanks for your help 🙂

Actually…the DVD’s are the source tape! Thisis one of those new cameras that records directly to a Sony DVD-R Camcorder….its really wierd!

I have been converting all afternoon, using the MPEG streamclip…it is working very well. Thank you so much. Here is my next question..When I convert and go to the submenu “Export as Quicktime” what should I select as my compression….I have noticed that once the export is complete, and imported into final cut…some of the effects that I’m trying to use do not look good once rendered. For example…alot of this project will be slowed down to about 50 percent. Once I render the effect it is extremley jumpy..at 100 percent it looks fine??? I need to know the correct compression type….I am using Apple DVCPRO- 50 NTSC right now..is that correct?

I downloaded the MPEG Streamclip program. Now what?? I opened the VOB that is on the DVD, and I see it inthe MPEG window. I am now running the Fix Timecrode Breaks Function as is directed me to do. Do I now, export to quicktime, or what?? Thank you for your help

There will be no menu, or tracking. I’m going to burn it as data…Kind of like backing up files to a cd. That way all he will have to do is opening the disk from his desktop and drag the files into whatever it is that he edits with….the disc will not acually play the video, unless the file is opened in quicktime or something. I am simply trying to avoid quicktime for comprression purposes. It will be more like a data dvd, not one that he can pop in a dvd player and watch….who knows how it wil turn out. Thanks for sharing this headache with me, I appreciate it!

I think the reason he decided on DVD..was to save him the real time of capturing. Besides that I’m not sure if he even has a camera to bring the footage in with, much less a deck. He obviouslt does editing at a consumer level, not professionaly. I completly agree with what you are saying about not having a suitable file type for editing. Which is where my question originated. My thought was that the guy is paying me quite a bit for not editing at all…I had no problem capturing for him, but I think I will suggest giving him the tapes. Thanks anyway, I’ll let you know what he decides and hopefully it will turn out ok for him.
