Trouble Getting Files From mini-DVD (Handycam)

I don't know the first thing about those little camcorders that record to mini-DVD, but I'm working on a movie for a girl's dance team, and while most of what they gave me to work with was miniDV on an external HD, they did give me a mini-DVD with just under four minutes of footage on it to use also. Fortunately that disc isn't very important to them, and I don't really have to use it.
Anyway, I can't play the disc in my set-top DVD player; it says there's no disc. My computer's DVD player will play it fine using PowerDVD Player. I tried to rip the disc using DVD-Shrink and it acts like there's no disc in the tray too. Then I managed to rip it to the desktop as an ISO image with DVD-Decrypter with no problems. After that I tried to open the ISO image with DVD Shrink and it says: "Invalid UDF File System".
So, anyone have any idea how I can get the VOB files from this ISO image?

Well I think I kind of did that Bill. That is, I managed to rip the DVD to the desktop via DVD Encrypter and then burned the new ISO file to a new DVD. It still wouldn't open with anything I have that converts ISO to VOB files.
I looked at Sony's website about Handycams and it says this:
"After finalizing the disc in the camcorder, the disc can play back in most DVD Players".
The disc they gave me is a DVD-RW. Maybe the disc hasn't been finalized?
But Sony also says:
"With DVD+RW media there is no need to finalize the disc (minimum recording required); simply remove the finalized disc and insert the media into a compatible DVD or Blu-ray Disc Player."
But the disc they gave me is DVD-RW rather than DVD+RW. At any rate I'm wondering now if maybe they should have finalized the disc before giving it to me and forgot to do it. The disc only has about 4-minutes of footage on it, so I'm guessing maybe they didn't finalize it because they thought they would add more later. I'll have to track down the owner and see what they have to say.
Thanks

How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names?

How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names? Message says "file already exists in catalog"

I am viewing your question from different perspective, that is, the issue that you face when you are ripping VOBs from a second DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc using Premiere Elements,
It is best to give the Premiere Elements version and computer operating system that it is running on. In the absence of that, I will generalize.
Assuming that you are using
Premiere Elements 12
Add Media
"DVD Camera or Computer Drive"
Video Importer
Typically the Video Importer Save In: is C:\Users\Owner\Videos
Each of your DVD discs is going to have the same names for the ripped VOBs (VTS_01_1.VOB and so on depending on the duration of the movie). Consequently, after the ripping of the first DVD's VOBs and their save to Videos, you will end up with that "files already existing..." block for the ripping of the VOBs from the second DVD.
The answer is, for each DVD disc VOB ripping, to plan ahead and create and set for different folders in Videos in the Save In field of the Video Importer.
Please review and then let us know if that works for you. Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
Thank you.

Having trouble "getting" video from a DVD.

When trying to "get" video from a DVD I have recorded using a Magnavox DVD recorder, Premier Elements 4 will only import a portion of the video. The entire recorded video is viewable if I watch the DVD on a player so I know it is all there. This is only happening with video recorded on this one particular recorder. It is also only happening with Premier Elements 4. We also use Final Cut Pro and it works fine with DVD's from this recorder.
If anyone has any answers please let me know.
Thanks!!!!

VCR/DVD burners can produce some mixed quality video files, Richard, particularly if they're recorded to a low quality disc (like Memorex).
The wisest move would be to convert those DVD files to DV-AVIs using a program like MPEG Streamclip or VirtualDubMOD (both free), per the FAQs at the top of this forum.

DV-AVIs are the ideal format for editing on a PC.

I am having trouble getting audio from a DVD.

Initially when I insert the DVD i get audio playing. Then, I pair my bluetooth headphones, they say they are connected but I get no audio from the laptop speakers or from my headphones. I disconnect the headphones and still get no audio from the laptop. I have ejected the DVD and tried to start over and still have no audio. I would like to have audio from my bluetooth headphones because this is a workout DVD. Oh, I can get audio from itunes when my headphones are connected.
Thanks in advance!

There are differences among MacBook models in that most cannot use audio over HDMI, and according to at least one answered reply here in ASC discussions, you'd need another cable or adapter for audio if you don't have a 2010 MacBook...
Here's a similar discussion with ideas, from a few years ago:

You could check some of the similar discussion links to the right

offered; but this one seems to cover a general circumstance &
it may be workable if you get the correct parts.

Can not upload video clips from mini dvd

When I try to upload video clips from mini DVD recorded on Sony Handycam it stats the files are read only. I have tried finalized and un-finalized clips.

Thank you for the reply.
Although what I posted in my post numbered 2 is interesting and useful information in the Premiere Elements ripping of VOBs from DVD-VIDEO, it is not answering your issue regarding a "read only" issue and did not target your specific "read only" message. Sorry about that.
The VOBs are typically read only files on the disc.
I have never run into a "read only" issue with regard to the Premiere Elements 10 Windows 7 64 bit Add Media/"DVD Camcorder or PC DVD Drive"/Video Importer. For that matter, not with any version of Premiere Elements with this particular feature.
When are you getting this message.
a. When you click on DVD Camcorder or PC DVD Drive after Get Media
b. When you click on Get Media in the Video Importer or other
Do you ever get a thumbnail for the VTS_01_1.VOB in the Video Importer? Is your burner drive recognized in the Source field of the Video Importer?
If you open and explore the DVD disc, go to the VTS_01_1.VOB in the VIDEO-TS Folder, go to the VOB's properties, can you remove
the mark next to "read only" and then have the Video Importer route work for you?
Also, if you copy the VTS_01_1.VOB from the opened DVD disc and paste it to the computer desktop and remove the "read only" marking, can you then import
the VTS_01_1.VOB into Premiere Elements with its Get Media/Files and Folders?

Get audio from a DVD onto CD?

I just got a DVD of the Cream Albert Hall concert. I want to get the sound onto a CD so that I can play it in the car or on my iPod. Is there a way to do this? I don't want to just buy the CD too. For one thing, the CD doesn't have all the songs that the DVD has.
PM G5 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.3)

First of all denke, welcome to the discussions!
I hope that your head is not spinning after reading my post - LOL!
It is not a quick process, but it certainly can be done. I have followed this process for several concert DVDs that I own and I am quite happy with the results. Best of all, it can all be done with free software, but there is one small program to buy to give it a more professional touch and amke it much easier on the ears.
First, download OSEx. This will allow you to extract only the audio files from a DVD.
To demux/extract only the audio with OSEx, splitting the audio in one file per chapter (usually equivalent to a song for music videos):
- After starting OSex and inserting your music video DVD, make sure the correct title is selected by clicking on the "TI" button.
- Click on the "VID" button an deselect the video stream(s).
- Click on the "Aud" button and select the appropriate audio stream (usually 2 channel AC3).
- Click on the "Fmt" button and select "Elem. streams."
- Click on the "Seg" button and select "Chapter" to split the audio by track in separate files.
- Click "Begin" to start audio axtraction.
If you have a few songs that span several DVD tracks and have no break in them, you can encode them as one audio track by selecting those tracks together and encoding them as a single selection.
Then, download mAC3dec. This is a program that will convert the resulting AC3 files from OSEx into MP3s. I use the highest bitrate - 320 - so that my audio is as close to the source as possible.
Then - the finishing touch - but one that costs $10.95. It is well worth it. Download MP3 Trimmer. This sweet little program allows you to trim the beginning and ends of files off and even apply a fade in and out without re-encoding the file and eliminating the resulting loss of sound quality. This means that you can cut the applause out of the beginnings and endings of the tracks, and since you can fade in and out, you lessen the "shock" of the breaks in the tracks that can be so annoying.
All in all, it sounds harder than it actually is, but it is well worth it for a whopping $10.95 for all three programs.
BTW, I am not connected with these companies at all and receive no compensation of any kind. It is just a process that I did a lot of research on and came up with these three programs and the steps to create a nice, professional sounding CD from concert DVDs.

How do I extract files from a dvd I have already burned to re-edit back in Premiere?

I'm trying to extract the files from a dvd back to Premiere, the project was assembled with Premiere Pro 1.5, I need to re-edit that same project. The dvd is not a data disk.
Please help!!

Along with the material in Eddie's link, you might want to read over this ARTICLE by Jeff Bellune, posted in the Adobe Encore FAQ's. While it addresses getting the material into Encore for authoring, much will apply to your situation.
Personally, I use an A-D bridge (though the file structure is already in digital form) to Capture directly from my DVD player to my computer. This is for non-commercial DVD's from my clients, where the original material is no longer available.. It's quick, easy and my Capture software Exports as DV-AVI Type II, so there is no additional conversion needed. If I need to work on the Menu structure, etc., then I use a workflow similar to Jeff's, outlined in his article.
Good luck, and please follow Eddie's link,

Can't drag files from a DVD I burned

I transfer files off of my hard drive to conserve space from time to time. After burning the files to a DVD I am now unable to drag the files off the disk and transfer them back to my hard drive. I can only read them from the disk. What am I doing wrong?

Still need more information. What happens when you try to drag a file from your DVD to your Desktop? Does an error dialog pop up? If so what does it say? What happens if you use the cp command in Terminal ( +cp <path to file on DVD> ~/Desktop+ ). Does that succeed or fail? If it fails, what error message do you get?

CS3 Hangs Open a File from a DVD

I was opening some images from a DVD and everything was ok. Then Photoshop hung up and I had to force quit. After that I could not open any files even ones on my local drive. I launched other CS3 apps and they worked fine opening from both the DVD and the local drive. I launched Photoshop and created a new image and tried to save it and it hung up. Finally I launched photoshop and quit it without trying to open anything, then launched it again and it worked. I also had rebooted the machine at times in this sequence.
A few days later I put a DVD in and it happened again. This time nothing worked until I removed the DVD from the drive.
Every application can read and open files from the DVD drive including other Adobe apps. I am not sure if this is an issue with Photoshop CS3 or the drive. Can just Photoshop have trouble accessing the drive?

Gary,
There have been several reports here of folks who have problems using their computers (and/or Photoshop) if there is a disc in the drive as you have. As I recall, the solution (or workaround, if you prefer) is simply to copy whatever files you need for the day's session off the disc onto your hard drive. Remove the disc from the drive.

How to get file from server while click on link

Hi,
i created on link and i gave one server path to select file from server but while clickinng on link it no displaying any thing.
following is the Destination url that i gave for the item.
/u08/app/appvis/xxex/inst/xxex_apps/xxrbe/logs/appl/conc/log/
please tell me how to get file from server while click on link.

Ok I got your requirement now.
If you are getting file names from view attribute then you should not be adding destination URI property for the link.
Instead you can use OADataBoundValueViewObject API.
Try below code in your controller processRequest method:
I am assuming that you are using classic table.
Also in below example it considers OAMessageStyleText and you can replace it with link item if you want.
OATableBean tableBean =
(OATableBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("<table item id>");
OAMessageStyledTextBean m= (OAMessageStyledTextBean)tableBean.findChildRecursive("<message styled text in table item id>");
OADataBoundValueViewObject tip1 = new OADataBoundValueViewObject(m, "/u08/app/appvis/xxex/inst/xxex_apps/xxrbe/logs/appl/conc/log/"+"<vo attr name which stores file name for each row>");
m.setAttributeValue(oracle.cabo.ui.UIConstants.DESTINATION_ATTR, tip1);
