You can now extract the audio/video directly from DVD-VR discs, eg. from DVD-RAM on Panasonic's home DVD recorders.
Heuris DVD connexIT. Includes both a UDF 2 driver and DVD-VR support. (I tried a beta way back when for the DVD-VR part, but it wasn't very useful, since there was UDF 2 support.)
Currently supports Adobe Premiere, but Final Cut Pro and QT support is coming.
Home DVD recorders supported:
Panasonic DMR-HS2
Panasonic DMR-E30
Panasonic DMR-T3030
Panasonic DMR-T3040
Pioneer PRV9000
Others
DVD camcorders supported:
Panasonic VDR-M20
Hitachi Z-3000
Hitachi Z-3000W
Hitachi Z-4000W
Hitachi CRD-10
Not bad for $89 although I think the Premiere and Final Cut plug-ins have to be purchased separately.
