convert dvd to mpeg

[twoodcc]

what program to use? my camcorder is a sony dvd handycam, and it's usb, so imovie won't recognize it. (got the camera before my mac, or i would have gotten one with firewire)

for dvd camcorders, i've heard good things about DVDxDV, which converts non-commercial DVD videos into Quicktime DV files ready to be imported into iMovie or Final Cut Pro/Express. Although, I have never used it, i have heard it works well... maybe someone here can give a testimonial.

Yeah,

I've played with the demo version DVDxDV and it works. I didn't think the quality was too good, but I was using my Caddyshack DVD.

Not sure how well the miniDVD footage will come over. Also, if DVDxDV isn't to your liking, your can look into Cinematize.

If you can access the data on the dvd, then use this application to convert the VOB files to Mpeg.

It can even repair VOB files with frame breaks in, once converted you can then edit the video in FCP etc.

This is a great application.

If you use both these programs, you should be able to achieve your goal.

Download YadeX

It can rip video and audio from home (tv) dvd recorder disks

I use this software with a vob file that contains timecode breaks (chapters), It allows me to save the video and audio stream for editing in FCP.

I then load up mpegstreamclip and load up the audio stream and convert that to a audio format that FCP can read.
