I have a series of student films saved to a dvd disk and I want to capture
parts of some projects to create a short video of segments from each film.
I tried capturing from the dvd drive into Premiere Pro but Premiere's
capture would not work. I also tried playing the dvd on an external dvd
connected by firewire to my computer, but Premiere's capture did not get any
signal from the dvd playing in through the firewire so I still could not
capture any material.
Is there a way to capture some video footage from a dvd in Premiere? Is
there some other workaround to capture dvd footage into a video editing
program?
Thanks for any advice.

Can you see the VATS files in explore If so copy Vts1-1 .VOB and so on to
your drive Then change the .VOB extension to .Mpeg

I would suggest you copy in the DVD VOB files and rename the extensions
to MPG. Then import them into your video editor. Then cut-and-past to
your requirements.

You could try *VirtualDub-MPEG*, this is not the same as the ordinary
VirtualDub or VurtualDub-Mod, it's been adapted to work with problem
'MPEG' file AIUI - it certainly got me out of the $h*t with a damaged
SVCD the other day when all else failed or would have meant to much
of a drop in quality.
