question: downloaded streamclip how do I use?

[jbsteven]

How do I import a VHS homevideo (which was transfered to Dvd) into an iDvd or iMovie slideshow using Streamclip?

Should I insert my Dvd homevideo footage into the Mac and drag it into Streamclip or will it recognize the Dvd homevideo footage and convert it to the digital file needed?

Thanks.

• Load the DVD into your Mac's DVD drive.

• Once the disc is mounted, double-click it to open the disc.

• Double-click on the VIDEO_TS folder.

• Locate the largest .VOB file and drag that onto the MEPG Streamclip icon.

• Once MPEG Streamclip launches, you can set an IN and OUT point if needed.

• Go to File->Export to QuickTime.

• When the export window opens choose Apple DV/DVCPro NTSC (or PAL depending on your location).

• Set the audio for Uncompressed 48khz.

• Set the frame rate for 29.97.

• Set the other parameters as needed.

• Click the Make Movie button.

• Give the new file a name and location.

• Hit the SAVE button.

Streamclip error window?

I followed the directions to use Streamclip but an error window arose which stated that I would need to purchase an Mpeg2 playback componet from Apple for about Twenty dollars in order to export video to quicktime.
does this sound correct?

Yes, that is correct. If you have Final Cut Pro or DVD Studio Pro installed on your system, you'll already have the Playback Component installed. If not, you'll need to purchase it from Apple.

If this is not in the Guides, it should be. Great instructions on the best way to edit video on a DVD with the least amount of quality loss.

These are the main details I was looking for to optimize export. Thanks -DH
