Adobe Premier Pro - DVD Clips

[GhandiInstinct]

How would I go about getting footage from a DVD onto my computer to edit in Adobe PP? Would I have to rip it? And if so, how?

Those VOB files are pesky. While they are really encoded in MPEG2 format, it is a little different. I've tried renaming them to MPG and Premiere Pro will sometimes play them on the timeline. Other times it won't. Try that first.

I just tried this and it worked perfectly.

First, I used DVD-Lab to "demultiplex" the VOB file into its Video and Audio streams.
I ended up with two files. The video file had an extension of MPV which nothing seemed to like. I changed the extension to M2V and it was just fine.
The audio file is PCM audio and DVD-Lab converts it to a WAV file no problem.

Once that is done, you can import into the Premiere Pro. When you put it on the timeline, it will be totally redlined, so it must be "rendered" to play smoothy, but it still played well enough to edit before the final rendering.
