How to extract parts of a DVD with no recoding/resizing???

[rpereira]

I need to take some (little) parts of movies from my DVD-ROM drive and edit in Premiere. The problem is: how to extract these parts that I need. I don't need to resize or recode the movie (prefer to keep in original mpeg-2 and original size) since I wanna take just little parts.
I dont even need subtitles or alternative audio language, only the Audio 1 (dafault language).

Anyone can help me???

(the best I could do until now is to use FairUse, but it uses divx codec and I can't get the image quality I need).


thanks,
Rodrigo Pereira

Tmpgenc DVD Author (free trial available)

[rpereira]

I've just downloaded Tmpgenc and it looks not to have the option to save the video as AVI file (for editting in Premiere), only as a DVD output (for a DVD-R).
Am I wrong?



thanks

your reply was confusing. why do you want to revert to avi? i use womble mpeg-vcr to extract a clip. you can then import that mpeg clip into premiere. maybe i'm not reading it right but just my observation.

Yeah, you said in your first post you did not want to re encode. By the way don't write Tmpgenc when you meant Tmpgenc DVD Author. They are not the same program.

So you are good to go then.....

Use DVD Shrink in 'reauthor' mode, drag in the main movie, edit and mark "Start/End points". Set program for no compression and rip the desired clip. Here's a nice guide to show you how. http://www.dvdshrink.info/re-author.php

While in DVD Shrink just 'unselect' those items you don't want before you rip.

You Bet.
Good luck

Thanks.
But the only thing I can do with DVD Shrink is to generate DVD video files.
I haven't found out how to generate a video file that I could import to Adobe Premiere.
Is there any way??

PS: When I said "AVI", I meant "a file that I could import to Premiere", not necessarily a AVI file.

If you can settle for chapter sized clips, rip in chapter mode with DVDDecrypter to get 1 VOB each chapter. Then extract (demux) m2v with ReJig

[rpereira]

But what can I do with the m2v file? I can't import it to Premiere!..

[mats.hogberg]

Get an application that can! Or turn the m2v into something Premiere knows how to deal with. What does it want?

I don't get all this. I have opened MPEG2 files with Premiere.
Of course it can't edit native MPEG, so it has to be re-encoded
or saved as AVI.
The bottom line here is you cannot do what you want.
Premiere will not edit MPEG

[rpereira]

(...) I have opened MPEG2 files with Premiere.

How can I do that? (I've got a M2V file..)

(...) Or turn the m2v into something Premiere knows how to deal with.

How???

You realize that Premiere Has a MASSIVE learning curve? I mean it's very hard to use. I didn't see you say what the final output was going to be, but it certainly won't be quality DVD if your using Premiere.

Is a method with no explanation of the end results. Why not tell us what you want to do and no how you want to do it (Premiere can deal with DVD video just fine by the way...).

How???

That entirely depends on what Premiere can handle. Judging by other posts, m2v should work (m2v=mpeg 2 video=DVD Video (if resolutions and bit rates are within DVD standard))

I guess I may be crazy. I have the 6.0 demo and
it doesn't seem to like MPEG files. I don't use Premiere
but I think I did this once. But how ?
