Now, the two pieces of video I have on there are pre-edited files. One is .avi the other is .mov I have no way to change the .avi to a .mov that I have found.. Not and keep any sort of displayable quality on it. But Avid transcoded the AVI on its own when I imported… Well thanks!

Ringabinn:
I’m not quite sure I understand how I would use the GL2 as a transcoder.

Right now I have the video of the DVD as an AVI file and the Audio track as a Wave file, both on my Harddrive. So far I can’t get it to print to tape in either AXPro or Adobe Premeire.

So How would I need to go about using the gl2 as a transcoder? I’m not sure I’m following the work flow…

The way I see it would be to dump the avi/wav to tape and then re-capture it. I guess I’m missing something?

Anyway, Thanks for the help, mate.. Lemme know in a little more detail how to use the GL2 as a transcoder… Its connected to the box via FireWire.

Thanks in Advance,
RC

Well their in AVI’s (massive files I might add) and I have them rendered and everything in premiere, but I can’t export to quicktime or anything else. I go to export>movie and Premiere crashes harder than the Mars Rover. I’ve also tried dumping to tape via my GL2 and it acts like its playing a CD with scratches. It skips around and completely destroyed the footage.

I tried importing the AVI’s into AXpro without transcoding to quicktime, and it tels me its getting video from QT but then it doesn’t play in the timeline. I can advacne frame by frame, but it just doesn’t do anything when it plays back. The timeline cursor moves along like its playing, but the video stays the same.

Belay My last, I found a nother version of VitrualDub that provides support for mpeg 2! I think I might be able to see a light at the end of this tunnel!

Well I found a good demuxer to get it stripped down to the audio file and the .m2v mpeg 2 file. But Virtual Dub told me it doesn’t transcode Mpeg 2. It would do .m1v, but not .m2v. So I’ll see what I Can find in the transcoder department of Google. Thanks for the help!

I do, but I dont have any video inputs on my PC other than Firewire, and the DVD player doesn’t have a firewire output. I have a DVD player in my computer, but I can’t seem to get Xpress Pro to recognize it as a source to capture from. And the ripper’s I’ve been able to find shareware or freeware aren’t too great and the quality is not something I’d like to put on my reel.

*sigh* Who woulda thought It would be this hard to get video off DVD.. If I had I would have just made my copies of all this on miniDV instead.

Ah well, if anyone has any other Ideas, I’m listening!

burned to DVD as like a region-1 DVD. I believe they were mpeg4 when I burned the DVD with DVD studio Pro.. But you pop them in the DVD player and they just start playing. I’ll see if I can find a ripper program to Get it into a different format. Thanks!
