How to get DVD into Adobe Premiere |
|
|
I asked a question on this a couple of days ago, and got some great
responses. In the spirit of adding to the common wisdom, I thought I'd write
about yet another possibility I discovered later on:
First of all, the initial problem: I was given a DVD that I had to get some
video off and work with in Adobe Premiere. I was wondering how the heck to
do it, since DVDs are formatted with VOBs and BUFs and all kinds of other
things that aren't the standard AVI or MPEG that Premiere likes to see.
Well, it turns out that good old Nero Vision Express allowed me to handle
this. I stuck the DVD into the drive, and started up NVE, and clicked on
"make movie" and went to add film material. When I browsed to the DVD itself
and clicked on one of the VOBs, then NVE said "I can import this whole DVD
as a single video stream, would you like that?" I said "yes," and it did
just that.
Then, there is an Export facility where I was allowed to choose to export in
Type 1 or 2 AVI format. I did that, and ended up with an AVI file that Adobe
Premiere happily accepted and I was able to work with.
I did think that *maybe* I noticed a small loss of quality in the video, but
that might have been my imagination, it might have been a Nero transcoding
issue, and it might have been simply what happens when you convert these
things. But in any case it was little or nothing.

Did you try simply renaming the VOB to MPG and see if Premiere will swallow
it?

I decided to try it to see what happens.
I renamed a VOB to MPG and then tried to open it in Premiere.
Indeed it allowed me to open it, and sort of play it in the preview pane on
the computer. But when I dragged it onto the timeline to pump through my
Pinnacle system to the TV monitor, it marked it as needing rendering.
So I suppose that means that in any case, some kind of conversion is
required at least in my special case.
Plus, I suppose that if you really wanted to have a DVD as one single
stream, you'd have to go through something like what I did with Nero, since
there are several VOBs for any kind of long DVD.
