Import quality of dvd is bad

[drewbuoy]

Hi all, I cannot import fully an 8.5 GB DVD that is about 2 hours 20 mins long into my Pinnacles Studio 15 editing suite. It will only import about half of it. Not having found a solution to that problem I decided to import it another way by putting the DVD onto DVD tape and enter it into my editing suite via my camcorder as a capture. This did work......... but the picture quality is bad as is the audio .Does anyone have a handle on this strange problem. Cheers Drewbuoy

Will your Pinnacle program import Mpeg-2? If so, use Vob2Mpeg to change the DVD to Mpeg-2 with no quality loss. This assumes your DVD is not encrypted.
If it is, you'll need to remove encryption first.
