** Help On Editing A Wedding Movie.! **

[mojo8850]

Hi Guy's.

My First Thread, "LOL" I Have The Trial Version Of ADOBE PREMIERE PRO 1.5 &
ADOBE ENCORE DVD 1.5.

The Wedding Video Was Camcoded On A Sony DVD Camcorder.! In DVD Format Which Means The Files On The 8cm DVD-R Are In *.VOB, *.IFO, *.BUP..! (NOT DV).

The Wedding DVD Has 3 8cm Discs, Which Are Burned On A Normal DVD-R 4.7GB
In 3 Seperate Folders, (DVD1, DVD2, DVD3).

Now I Want To Compile All Three Discs In To One Full Wedding Video, With A Few Transitions, Effects An So On. Then Want To Create A DVD Menu With ENCORE DVD 1.5.

I Hope Im Not Boring Anyone So Ill Get To The Point, . Premiere Pro Dont Import *.VOB, So If I Rename The Extension To *.MPG. It Work's.!

BUT The Audio Is Not Syncronized With The Video. What Do I Do To Sort This Out, Also How Do I Get The Movie Over To ENCORE DVD 1.5 For Authoring.!

Another Editing Tool I Have Used Is SONY VEGAS 6.0 Suite, Which Includes
DVD Architect 3.0 & SONY Soundforge 8.0..!

SONY Vegas Dont Accept *.VOB Or *.M2V Files Im Also Pretty Sure No Other Editing Program Accepts *.VOB.!

Which Format Is It The Best To Edit With, And How, Also Remember How Can I Syncronize The Audio With The Video.!

Help Help.! Please.!

I don't know much about transition effects and things like that. I am sure someone else can help you on that.

What I can suggest is.

Copy the DVD-R to the hard disk so you have the three folders on it.

Get a trial of TMPGEnc DVD Author.

This prgram will read the three folders one at a time (use "add dvd video" option) and create a new DVD. If you import each small DVD separately into one title/track. The DVD will play all three parts as one whole DVD seemlessly.

From there you can add chapter and a menu.

Then it can burn the DVD or save it complete on the hard disk.

Hi nwg.

Thanks For The Reply.!

I Understand Your Method, If For Example I Did Recreate The 3 DVD Folder's In To One DVD Folder, They Will Most Likely Be In *.VOB, *.IFO & *.BUP Format's.

I Dont Want To Use The DVD Authour Menu Creator, I Want To Use Some More Professional Like SONY VAGAS OR PREMIERE Pro.!

What Will Be The Best Methosd..!

You don't need to have a menu in DVD Author. There is a "no menu" option. If you did put all three small DVD's in it. It will create one DVD with all three parts playing one after the other seemlessly.

It puts the new DVD files (VOB's, IFO's, BUP's) on the hard disk in a folder.

What you need is a program that accepts the complete DVD files as input. This is usually called "DVD Video". You shouldn't import VOB as that is only part of the whole DVD.

Ok..

Like You Said I Shoud'nt Import *.VOB.
So How Do You Suggest I Should Do The Import In Editing Program.

NOTE:- I Dont Want To Loose Any VIDEO QUALITY.!

[nwg]

The only way I can think of if you cannot import VOB. Is to create the new DVD from the three small DVD's and get new files using DVD Author.

Then process these files through DVD Shrink. Set to no compression and change a preference. The preference is to remove file splitting at 1GB. This wil create a single VOB file and IFO/BUP's.

You can then change the VOB extension to MPG and try to import that into the software you want to use. The software will then hopefully read the whole full length file rather than have to read three separate files.

I would be suprised if the other software doesn't have a DVD Video import option.

There Is NO Professioal Editing Program That Accept *.VOB Files.
If They Did Accept That Format The Companies Thinks It Is Illegal For Them To Add That Support.!
If I Do Change The V0B Ext 2 MPG Then The Movie I Think Jumps Back An Foward.!
Ill Give It A Ago Though.!

Thanks

There Is NO Professioal Editing Program That Accept *.VOB Files.

Thanks

Strange

This vegas in th link has DVD support and accepts MPEG 2 which is what DVD is. It should accept M2V.

For editing of video (inc VOB) I use MPEG Video Wizard. It doesn't have the functions of a professional program it it only cost £20.

if you don't have Tmpgenc dvd author d/l and install the trial version. open the 3 dvd's in TDA as nwg stated. after you open the last dvd click on the next tab 2x. tda will give you the option to save the output to hard drive as an mpeg file. no re-encoding.

[blutach]

There is a commercial prog out there called DVD Remake Pro, which allows you to easily combine DVDs. It is a one-click function. There is no free trial through, but users swear by it.
