    I apologise perfusely for duplicating what must have been many times before....

    I have been searching this (and other) sites looking for a fairly simple (and preferably one-step) method to rip / de-encrypt a DVD to an editable AVI file. Most of the (many) tools I have tried output an AVI with a DivX or XVid codec, which Premiere Pro cannot read. I have also tried VirtualDub, but even this has struggled - in my hands anyway.

    My aim is to have a go at re-editing a feature file, for personal use only, in parallel to my other projects.

    Any guidance (or links to other threads) from the many experts contributing to this forum would be really appreciated.

    Many thanks - and Happy New Year!

    Julian

    Just to clarify, I am more after quality (and therefore a choice of codecs / uncompressed) than speed...

    Thanks

    Can't Premiere Pro read mpg? If so, once the DVD is ripped to HDD, run it thru vob2mpg.

    Failing that, load the desired ripped VOB(s) into VirtualDubMod and save to DV AVI using the (free) Panasonic DV Codec. Premiere loves DV AVI. I've done exactly this myself and it works perfectly.

    @ Rigo and Eagleburger: No problem, happy to help.

    I should also add that you can set in and out points in VirtualDubMod to get, down to the frame, exactly what you want.

    Does this seperates audio and video ?

    It can, but it's not the best job for all formats (both video and audio) including MPEG, AC3 and the like - i.e. some of the formats found in DVD MPEGs.

    Try TMPGEnc (free) for MPEG demuxing.

    Here's my guide. It's not a one-step method. But it's completely lossless.

    VirtualDub ... but to an uncompressed AVI, don't convert to DV (there will be quality loss, as DV is a 5:1 compression).
