Nataly 38 #1 May 27, 2006 Hey all you gurus! I may be able to get the original VHS tape, but if not, how would I go about capturing footage that was burnt onto a DVD? (Sorry I use an ancient program and that I'm asking such an ignorant question!)

DSE 5 #2 May 28, 2006 You can import the .vob file directly, if I remember right. Pinnacle 9 was never stable for me so I gave up on it a long time ago. Most apps will import the .vob file directly tho. If worse comes to worse, just play the DVD on a player and capture the analog out the same way you capture VHS.

Nataly 38 #3 May 30, 2006 Yeah, that's what I thought too. Thanks!"There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base689 0 #4 May 30, 2006 > how would I go about capturing footage that was burnt onto a DVD? You can do it easily with Nero. Using Nero Recode you can import ANY sort of video footage, DVD files included. You can copy the VIDEO_TS folder from DVD onto your HD, and then tell Nero to load that VIDEO_TS folder on your HD; then, you can edit it, create your own menu, burn your own DVD. Other software's can do that (=directly import DVD files), TMPGEnc is one of them. A freeware software than can convert ANY video format into ANY video format is SUPER (go Google for it: SUPER Simplified Universal Player Encoder & Renderer). SUPER does not accept the VIDEO_TS folder but it does accept the single .VOB files; then, you can do whatever you like with them.Stay safe out there Blue Skies and Soft Walls BASE #689 - base_689AT_NO_123_SPAMyahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #5 May 30, 2006 Duh...I gotta second and third the Recode option. It's a great tool for this, particularly their latest version. It will generate the file for you, that Pinnacle 9 will be able to read. Nero is a good toolkit to have on hand anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
