Editing VOB files
Can Premiere Pro (or any other NLE for that matter) import and edit a VOB file or do you always have to demultiplex a VOB file first to be able to edit it? Can you perform simple edits and save without re-encoding?

Hi Roy you can buy the mainconcept plug in that will allow you to edit the vob file directly in Premiere. However you do have other ways of getting it in if you can't afford the plug in.

Try renaming the whatever.vob file to whatever.mp2 or whatever.mpg, then try to import it into Premiere. It may work okay so long as the audio from the DVD wasn't in AC3 (Dolby Digital) format. Note that when working with MPEG video in Premiere you will have to render your timeline when you are finished.

Incidentally, is there a feature in Premiere which tells how much recompression is going on when rendering a project? As I understand it, an NLE will only re-encode parts of the original video that have been edited or that have effects applied to them, right? |

I have imported the VOB files into Nero and it brings them in to their timeline, but what format do you have to export it out of nero so premiere will accept it so it can be edited? Paul |

1) Get a DVD ripping program (there are many free) that will rip the file into an AVI preferably DV AVI. check out http://www.videohelp.com/tools.
2) If you have analogue input (analogue DV pass-thru on camera/ analogue capture card) then simply hook up an external (settop) DVD player to the analogue inputs, and then capture it that way. It is illegal to copy copyrighted material Hope it helps

I didn't think a dvd played on a dvd player was analogue but digital, I'll give it a go. Paul |

So to sum up:
Basic editing while staying in MPEG2: - use the MainConcept plugin, Woble MPEG video wizard, Cuttermaran or MPEG2CUT for no or minimum recompression. (BTW, which of these support AC3/DD?) Incorporating MPEG2 footage from a DVD into a DV / HD timeline: - rip straight to AVI (DV) and import this file into your timeline (probably the best option when applying a lot of effects) - import the MPEG into your timeline, from which it will be recompressed upon rendering your project (no smart rendering) Quote:

The DVD is digital but the output signals from the settop DVD player will usually be analogue (SCART, Composite (Phono/ RCA), s-video or Component). Some DVD players will have an HDMI or DVI connection, in which case the output will be digital. Hope this helps
