Guys I just took a new job and the only thing we have is our game DVD's from last season. We do have Proscout Video but it does not allow you to pull video off of a DVD directly. So I need to load it onto a hard drive first. How Do I Get Video from a DVD player onto a hard drive?  What equipment/cords/cards do I need? Thanks Timothy_Cullen@hcpss.org |

Tim,
Had the same problem with DVD, as we shot DVD game films.
My computer guy said the easiest thing to do is buy one of those software kits that has the little box along with the software.
There are editing programs out there also, but this guy says that most people are going to this now.
If you don't want alot of editing, it is very very easy to use, which is good for me.
The box connects to the computer via USB, then connect your DVD player and press a few buttons.
You can just copy or have a simple editing program.
Mine cost about $50 at Sam's Club.
You can also make copies of old records, VHS, and cassettes too.

You can "buy" winavi converter.. and convert the VOB (DVD) file straight to AVI.. which is what we do.

Coach! On both the Mac and Windows side there is a program called "Handbrake" that is FREE. The Mac version is very easy to use - the Window's version not quite as straight forward - but it is still just a few clicks. Here is the page with all the downloads. After "ripping" the video off you'll need to use it with some type of video editor. The format will be either MPEG4 or Windows Media File. This is a little less than real time. I'm sure it will depend on your processor speed but on a three year old Dell it took about 21 minutes to rip a 29 min DVD. handbrake.fr/?article=downloadGood luck - don't hesitate to PM me if you need more help.

What you need to do is convert the DVD to an .avi format as airraider stated. Once you have it converted you will bypass the "Capture" menu on Proscout and go straight to the "Cutting" menu. Load the .avi files you have converted and start cutting like Mickey...
