footage from dvd into a ftp folder
by David Linstrom on May 7, 2008 at 8:15:34 pm

Greetings
a client is requesting footage asap. He suggested that I load samples from shows I've shot into his ftp folder. Everything I have is on dvd. Any idea how I can do this?

Many thanks

MPEG Streamclip -> FCP -> Compressor -> Cyberduck

David,

Do they need to edit the footage, or just view it? Big difference.

If they only need to see it then just use Handbrake to create a 320x240 H.264 file directly from the DVD. Then just upload that.

Standard disclaimer: Only use Handbrake for video you have the right to transcode from DVDs.

I've had good luck with MacTheRipper to rip DVDs.

AFAIK, MTR will only rip the vob files...still would need another program to generate quicktimes if he wants to upload to an ftp server, especially at more manageable file sizes.

I second the handbrake suggestion; if watching is all that matters, and you don't really need in/out control over the clips, skip some steps and just rip to a h264 right there.

Thanks, I'm going to download Handbrake and give it a try...
