Hey all,
I'm trying to rip a the dentist scene from "Little Shop of Horrors" for a private, non-commercial birthday video for a family member & it's KILLING me. Using DVD extractor I can get a Quicktime m2v file that is recognized by Cleaner 5 & by Mpeg2 Decoder... however it shows up as a big green blob with the occassional highly pixellated ghost of the actual image poking through. Totally unusable. Mpeg2 reports errors all over the place. Quicktime 6 Pro (& yes, I bought the mpeg2 component & own DVD studio pro) won't open it at all. Just reports an error every time.

The thing has macrovision, so my other idea of transferring it to DV and then importing it straight into Final Cut Pro is bust. I'm totally stuck!

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is there a solution??

Thanks!

How about DVDBackup?

Thanks for the reply. I'll look into it. What's with the rolling eyes, though? Is it that egregiously dumb a question?

if you used DVDextractor in 9, did you click on the remove copy protection option? (i think there is one, can't remember clearly)

obviously, something didn't rip right. did you use DVDextractor while in 9, or were you using classic in X?


here's another DVD ripping app i've used in X, and it works pretty good:

also, check out this discussion, i think there are some links in there to other software you might need, such as DVDbackup and stuff to deal with the audio:
