HVDVD_TS/ .EVO files ---> Easiest way to get into editing friendly format?

[rawdawg]

I shot something awhile back for a TV company. After bugging them for a copy of the show for my reel they finally said they would send me a DVD.

It arrived but is in a format I'm completely unfamiliar with, the files are housed in a HVDVD_TS folder and looks like the media is on .EVO files. I've searched all over the web. It does appear to be the format for an HD DVD.

I need to include portions of it online as part of my reel. So I need an editing friendly codec to do *simple* cuts and an export to a smaller size. I've found nothing on the internet that says how I could do this. I read about a Quicktime plugin called EVOPlayer but it doesn't work (can't even launch it)

I'm working on a Dual 1.25 G4. My brand spanking new 17"MBP is in the mail--just ordered today.

Any advice? thanks

Yet another question nobody has advice for.....

There might be some freeware untilities that can do this, but Cinematize works great. Try searching "DVD to Quicktime."
