Hi, i am new!

Hi,

I am new to this great forum and have looked for an answer but can't see one (probably because i don't know where to look!).

I have been given a home movie that was filmed on a DV camcorder and burned to DVD. I would like to change a few things using Pinnacle Studio. The thing is it wants to capture footage. I have edited things using Pinnacle before that was on my hard drive but how do i go about "mounting" the DVD to the hard drive to edit?

Thanks for looking.

Just create a directory on your HD that can hold approximately 4.7GB and drag and drop the files over to that directory from the DVD VIDEO_TS folder. From there, you will need to demux the video and audio to elementry streams to be able to edit. I don't know what format that Pinnacle is looking for, but most probably it is looking for an .AVI file. I would frameserve an psuedo-AVI file to PS if it will take it.

You can try vob2mpg and import the mpg in pinnacle.
If it wont work try some other editor that supports mpeg2 editing, https://www.videohelp.com/guides.php?guideid=638&howtoselect=3;6#638
Or open the vobs in virtualdub-mpeg2 and convert to dv-avi,huffyuv avi and import in pinnacle studio (or frameserve from virtualdub-mpeg2)
