DVD to AVI

[doodah12]

I have a PAL DVD that I want to convert to AVI, so I can use the 'PAL to NTSC using Adobe Premiere' method to convert. Which would be a good program or method to do this? Thanks.

did you try one of the DVD to AVI guides on the left

Hi doodah12,

1. Read the guides first - Always a good place to start.
2. Rip the VOBs from the DVD. Either separately or one large one.
3. Install the Panasonic DV Codec.
4. Open the VOBs with VirtualDubMod.
5. Save them as DV AVIs - Use the DV codec detailed above. DV AVIs as this is what's best for Premier.

All your questions on the detail of "how do I use this / do that?" are in the guides.

Good luck.

I'm very concerned about using the Panasobic Codec because of this response in the comments section under the Panasonic Codec Tool section: 'Comments

Panasonic CODEC worked perfectly well with VirtualDub, however it adversely affected Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 DV playback and corrupted viewing on external DV devices and export to tape.

Re-installing Premiere does not fix the problem, you must manually remove the codec. This CODEC comes with NO UNINSTALLER.

I have Adobe Premiere Pro and want to know if you know of these issues also.

Hi doodah12,

I use Premiere 6.0 and have no problems, but can't speak for Premiere Pro.

Sorry I couldn't help further.
