6.51 DVD Import

[jdroadie]

Hi all any one know why I can't import an unencrypted DVD with 2.31seconds of video...when I transfer to bin it comes back as 1 second!! plays fine in everything else!

Edit Anything ...not again!! Think 5.5 is looking better!! Since I have done 6.51,
I have hit many bumps....

Try this:
System settings-> importer/exporter-> audio cd/dvd

Select reconstruct file and try again.

If you are coming from version 5 you better start by watchni the free tutorials of EDIUS 6
Links available in the tutorial sticky.

Try bypassing the DVD Import, take the .VOB file for the title, rename it to .MPG and add it to your bin.

Many players are more flexible than the spec has been designed
& those are may able to play discs which not matching the DVD spec by 100%.
So, don't blame EDIUS when such a discs will not work.

If the above methods will not work,
try the following tiny tool for demuxing the streams:

Thanks folks...renaming is the same result 1 frame comes in and reconstruct is already checked...Problem solved...went right into Premiere...

What I am finding is when I hit these bumps in Edius, Adobe and other apps handle it fine.... It used to be the other way!

I have 4 versions of Edius running on 3 machines, while 5.51 does a lot of things that were removed, it doesn't do a lot of things that have been added since 6.x.
As Steve said, if you are coming from 5.51 you need to watch the 1 hr tutorial.
It will save your butt in the long run. Some functions have changed and some totally removed.
To import information from a CD or DVD or BD, you need to use the Source Browser as opposed to the old import cd/dvd panel in 5.51.

As soon as the percentage hits 100% you can play the file in Edius 6.x or 6.52.

I would say that when you hit bumps and it works in Premiere, you probably know more about Premiere than you do Edius 6.52.
