ripping and conversion from DVD to MOV

[davinstarr]

I'm using DVD Shrink to extract DVD footage. I was told it would bypass encoding stuff, but it seems pretty random when it decides to and when it doesn't. I also need a quick program that will convert DVD Movie files to Quicktime MOV files. Everything I find doesn't do MOV, and that's what I need. Thanks. Phillip Kelly

if you've set it up so it doesn't apply compression it won't encode (even though IIRC it says it's "encoding")

quicktime should be able to; is there a particular reason it must be mov?

[davinstarr]

I'm sorry I meant MOV as in .mov files as in Quick Time files. The files I have are DVD Movie files and I need them to become Quick Time files for editing purposes. I need them .mov for editing purposes.

As for the DVD Shrink I'll make sure I keep the compression off (which I thought I had been doing. Actually it wouldn't load the DVD onto the Shrink because it said it had encoding. I didn't even get a chance to pick the compression.

More later.

Thanks

So basically you want DV files? Whether it is in a quicktime container or not shouldn't matter.

Actually, my editing software won't import DVD Movie files. It only recognizes QT files. It also recognizes AVI, but it doesn't play them so well.

That's probably compression. Use AutoGK and make an AVI of it, then load that and see how it works.

Or get another editing software
