Ripping video from DVDs for FCP

I want to create an assignment for students (I teach a very basic video editing ocurse) where students will rip some video from various commercially available DVDs to practice editing their own trailers together with scenes from the movies. In the educational environment it is legal to rip short clips of video from DVDs.
I think I'm going to use MPEG Streamclip for doing this
1. Does anyone have any tips for preparing ripped footage to make sure it looks good in a FCP sequence? Is there anything you should do with the footage in FCP to make it look good?
Thanks.

David is right. MPEG Streamclip will not rip commercial DVDs.
It may well be legal in education to rip discs, however discussion of the process is not permitted here.
Once you have that aspect sorted out...
I have a tutorial for MPEG Streamclip here: http://www.secondchairvideo.com/?p=739

  • Ripped audio from DVD to FCP

    Once I've used a ripping program like Mac the Ripper to get video and audio files from DVD, how do I get the audio only onto a cd?

    Geez David.
    I kinda noted that. The question is where are the original unencoded audio sources? Is this music? Or someone talking? If it is music, use the the sources if they are not copyrighted.
    You don't need "Mac the Ripper" to extract unencrypted or non copyrighted DVDs.
    We get so many requests here about extracting VOBs from DVDs.
    Given the terms of use, and laws about extracting from commercial DVDs, many of us are suspicious when a "client" brings in an encoded DVD and wants it "reauthored" for his reel.
    Now this isn't you, but when I say get the original source of audio, then I wonder why it isn't available.
    Or why didn't the DVD simply contain aiff audio files as a data DVD
    take care

  • How to import audio/video from DVD into FCP

    Hi, I need to import/capture into FCP from a dvd. When dvd files are open on my Mac it show VOB fotmat for video. I imported those files but they don't have audio, also the total time is 20 minutes but when imported into FCP it shows only bout 25 seconds. can someone help on this matter?
    Thanks in advance

    Cinematize works great. You can select portions or the entire DVD. It will not read encrypted DVD's so assuming you are using media that you have rights to it will do fine.
    You can import in several compressions. If you like you can import only the audio, only the video, etc. It will give you a QT file at the end.

  • Rented video from iTunes for iPad but video is missing?

    Rented video from iTunes for iPad but video is missing? Can anyone help

    You're sure that it completely downloaded? There may be a downloads button at the bottom on the right side of the iTunes Store app if the movie did not finish downloading.
    Did you look in there to make sure that it fully downloaded?
    You can also search for it. Swipe down from the middle of the home screen to get to the search field at the top of the screen. Type in the name of the movie and see if it shows up. If it appears, you can tap on it and it will begin to play but that will also start the 24 or 48 hour timer that you get to watch a rental once you start it.
    If you are not ready to watch the movie, don't tap on it. But if it shows up in the search, you know it's on the iPad so the next thing that I would do is reset the iPad and then look again in the videos app.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Use automator to rip all videos from DVD

    I have set up a workflow in automator to extract a video from an archival DVD. However, the program is only ripping ONE file when there should be 4-5 files on there. Any ideas? I am running this process on Mountain Lion.

    Hi guys,
    A few months ago I started using a program called DVD Ripper Platinum for PC and it has been the best software for ripping and encoding to several formats.  What sold me is that it is extremely easy (2-3 clicks) and it rips ALL commercial dvds (even Disney ones with the new protection). 
    There is a mac version of the software, but I have not used it.  The only think I have observed is that is lacking some minor features that the PC version has.
    Here is the link:
    http://www.flash-video-soft.com/dvd-ripper-mac/
    Its not free, but I can assure that if it works just like it does in the PC, its worth every penny.
    I'm planning on using the PC version (since I already bought it, not buying it twice!) in a mac mountain lion running parallels 6.

  • Video and audio files from dvd using FCP

    Hi
    Trying to get footage from a dvd using fcp. I can import the clips ok using file >import but they have no audio with them and the audio folder on the dvd is blank...any ideas????????
    cheers

    The audio_TS folder is normally blank.
    You need to use MPEG Streamclip to get the DVD files to Quicktime.

  • Editing footage from DVD in FCP

    Forum,
    Here's my issue. A client has a 2 hour presentation on DVD, which they want to edit down to a 90 minute piece. This shorter piece will end up being on a looping DVD. The footage on the original DVD is 16x9 and they want to keep it that way for use on large widescreen monitors. What is the easiest way to get the footage into FCP? The clips to capture will be long, about 30 minutes, do I capture it playing from a DVD player? Do I use a "DVD Ripper"? I have no experience using that type of software.
    Help is appreciated.

    MPEG Streamclip is what you need to convert the client's DVD to an editable format. The problem is that the video on DVDs is very highly compressed. If you take it, edit it and then recompress it back to a DVD there will be a noticeable loss in quality. Talk to your client and get an uncompressed version of their video (not a DVD).

  • Rip audio from dvd on pc?

    hi,
    I'd like to rip just the audio from a music video I have on a DVD, for use as an mp3 on my iPod. I already have DVD decrypter, videora and replay, but I'm not much good at experimenting with them. Could anyone provide a step-by-step? Thank you!

    I searched the forums, came up with a ton of answers for mac, but none for PC. That's why I posted... please help!

  • Import Clips From DVD into FCP

    I am working on a 50th anniversary project for a client. They want to include several "home movie" clips in the project. They provided the home video footage to me on DVD. I am looking for the best way to import the material on the DVD into FCP.
    I have used Handbrake to capture the video from the DVD and the file is saved in an MP4 format. But when I try to import that file into my FCP bin, FCP tells me that it does not recognize the file format.
    I think that I can connect a DVD player to my system by running the signal from the DVD player into my DV cam, and then into my MAC, so that is a possibility.
    I am just wondering if I am overlooking something that is quicker or easier.
    Again my goal is to import material from a DVD into FCP so I can use clips on my timelines.
    Any hint, tips, advice?
    Thanks in advance!

    DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and made for any processing as editing...
    for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
    * DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    * Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
    * Cinematize >60$
    * Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    * Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    * connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
    none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...
