mitch Jan 04, 2004, 04:28 PM As stated, I have copied a video onto a DVD with my standalone DVD recorder and now I want to load it into my PC, edit it and make a menu and then put back onto DVD, can I rip to mpeg 2 so pinnacle will see it or what is the besy way kashmirez Jan 05, 2004, 08:29 PM Your DvD shoudl already be in Mpeg 2 format?? What files do you have on your DvD? There's no reason why you can't do the above. I've not used pinnacle but have used ulead. mitch Jan 06, 2004, 05:42 AM All the files are VOB so I need to rip the Mpegs out so pinnacle can read them, its ripping the mpeg out of the vobs that it my problem greeny1232 Jan 06, 2004, 10:57 AM assume its dvd-r discs and not dvd+rw rip your disc with smart ripper *rip with separate ac3 and m2v rename those 2 files to something like moviename_ac3 movieman_m2v start either spruceup or tmpg dvd author and click on the m2v file. it will automatically load the ac3. then do your menus. if using ulead doesnt read ac3 or m2v so i just copy the entire disc over and load that into ulead handyguy Jan 06, 2004, 11:51 AM Which recorder & what media? What kind of computer & what operating system? mitch Jan 08, 2004, 06:28 AM Thanx for the info Greeny12322, will try it My DVD Recorder is a Panasonic DMR E50 and i am using DVD-R's my PC is an athalon 2600 XP with 512Meg ram and a 120gig and 80 gig drives with a pioneer 106 burner all running in XP Pro any more info will be appreciated Templar Jan 08, 2004, 10:55 AM Originally posted by greeny1232 rename those 2 files to something like moviename_ac3 movieman_m2v start either spruceup With SpruceUp, the files need the same name, i.e. Movie.m2v Movie.ac3 Or it won't pick up the audio. greeny1232 Jan 08, 2004, 11:01 AM lol yeh that is what i meant i just typed to fast LOL mitch Jan 08, 2004, 11:51 AM have done all that and it works ok even though a bit long winded, is there any way to edit the video and audio together to get rid of ads ???? greeny1232 Jan 08, 2004, 11:57 AM in tmpg dvd author u can edit out commericals. u dont have to do audio/video sep. mitch Jan 08, 2004, 02:39 PM Just tried tmpg author and got rid of the commercials, not a bad program but dissapointed that you cannot preview your project and the menu design is not as flexible as others, anyway only took 8 mins to put to my HD and I previewed it from there before burning, thanx to all |
