Well, I have a suggest to anyone who is having problems with AVS scripting, I don't know if this works in older version of premier so don't ask.

But you can take the DVD2AVI Project file, put it into TMPEG (full version not trial) and create a .m2v file (MPEG2). Click DVD on the Project wizard and follow the steps through there. I haven't noticed any difference in quality from the VOBs to the MPEG 2 encodes I make in TMPEG.

It's just an alternative for those having problems with AVS scripting.

I personally find it unreliable, some files I make work one day, then when I load the exact same file later it won't load. So I use MPEG2 files for editing -- That's just one man's opinion.

Uh...

You're reencoding MPEG-2 from MPEG-2. That doesn't make any sense.

You might as well just extract the video streams from the VOBs, using the six or so tools that exist for that purpose -- it saves time, among a whole lot of other things.

Are you using Premiere 6.5 ? Previous versions do not have any MPEG2 support. Well there were ways, but they didn't work.

Yeah I use 6.5. Like I said I wasn't sure if it worked in older versions or not, I don't have the older versions on my computer for reference.

Stoic, you can do the same thing with smartripper by itself, no need for project files or any of that.

Just go to the settings and choose "demux to separate stream" for the video stream. If you want audio, you can checkbox the audio streams of your choice (one or more, if you so choose) as well. then, just let it rip, and you'll have an .m2v mpeg2 video file + whatever other streams you chose on your HD instead of vobs.

Cool I did not know that...

I just started editing from DVD, as opposed to tape / digital camrea. Thanks for the information...

Is there a way that I can use TMPEnc more than once? I encoded my avi into an mpeg, but now I need to encode it again and fix it 720 x 480. TMPEnc only lets me do it once before the 30 day expiration, and when I try to re-download from Doom9's site it won't even work at all.

Nevermind about the previous post. I found a better version of TMPGEnc at www.pegasys.com. They have TMPGEnc to download and try it out and it works fine. The version that Doom9 has linked on his site is a poor version.

I almost ready to submit my amv for Expo. Is there a reason that when I export my project in Premier as an AVI that it plays choppy in Windows Media Player? Yet, when I converted it to an MPEG with TMPGEnc. it plays normally.

Also does anyone know of a way that I can get a free program to make DVDs?
