DVD ripping (legal)
June 09, 2006 11:47AM
Hi all,

I have a client that has several movies on DVD (and in theaters). They want me to cut a highlight reel for in house purposes. They have given me their DVD's to pull footage from.

As I am not in the practice of ripping stuff illegally, I don't know how to get clips off of copy protected DVD's. I do own DVDxDVPro but it doesn't want to read the media. Is there a way to grab stufff from the DVD or do I need to have them track down master footage??

Thanks for the help.

Troy

have you tried playing it on a regular DVD player and recording it to MiniDV (output from the DVD to the camera)

Have *you* tried that? Most cameras and decks will not import Copy Protected work.

I have tried mactheripper (thx 4 the advice). Is there a way to extract QT files (or other editable format) using it?

no. thats not what it does. all it does is remove copy protection and move the files to your drive. you need dvdxdv, or mpegstreamclip to get the resulting files into fcp friendly format. i think handbrake may do a decent job as well...

man, just do a quick search of the forum. we have covered this topic, step by step, ad nauseum...

Sigh...

This was covered just a day or two ago. Again.

Mac the Ripper to remove copyright protection. MPEG Streamclip to convert the resulting VOB files to FCP-compatible formats.

Search the forum, people!

Ease up fellas-

My apologies! I DID search but didn't find...
I'm not failiar with MPEGStreamclip so nothing about it registered. Just sitting here trying to figure it out. I get it that answering the same questions might be a drag, however, sometimes technology can make your head spin a bit...

I totally get it... and therefore try to search first, etc.
I resect the time spent by those on the forum. Sometimes however, the most obvious answer/solution etc. is right under your nose... which is the last place we think to look.

Thanks to all for the help and I finally put 2 x 2 together, well actually mactheripper and DVDxDV. Rip with mtr, transpose with dvdxdv....

See, right under my nose...

Thanks

good work troy - sorry if we got "bristly".

i however think that mpegstreamclip is better than dvdxdv for 2 reasons:
1. it displays timecode in the preview window - which for my uses i could NOT live without

2. its free

So did we. None of our decks or cameras will touch a copy protected video signal. It even dies in the professional A/D coders in the "grown-up" machine room.

I love Cinematize II. 60 bucks. Full featured, clean interface, very straightforward In-Out selection, right from your TS file on disk. Exports to QuickTime. Beautiful.

I do not own stock...

Shouldn't really suggest something if you haven't tested it yourself.
