Video Codec that actually work with Premiere?

Postby Cosmos Studio » Fri Sep 06, 2002 8:44 pm

I know of HuffyUV, but that's taking way to much space for the files on my hard drive... I've also been recommend to the Indeo Codec, but I can't get anything to convert to Indeo (on DVD to AVI, Premiere, and a few diff. programs, the option isn't even there, after I install the codec and restart the computer -_-)

Any other suggestions? I know Windows MPEG and DivX won't work..
Thanks for any help,

Well when video editing you need two codecs, preview codec and the source codec.

For souce, use ErMaCs guide to import DVDs.

For previewing in Premiere a MJPEG codec works good. You can get a trial version of PicVideo's MJPEG codec from http://www.jpg.com/video/mjpeg.htm. It puts little logo over your image, but that really shouldn't matter since you'll only use it for preview. :\

Hi,
Thanks for the Preview Codec, that'll help... As for the guide. I already read it, I'm still having problems. I can't get the VOB files to work directly in Premiere, Premiere treats them like 10second audio files. I've looked to troubleshooting, and it's not working. Also, since I have limited disk space, I would like to just cut out the parts of the DVD I actually need (instead of whole chapters)... Taking the VOB files into DVD2AVI exporting with the MPEG codec, and re-encoding to Huffy WILL work, but it loses a lot of quality (duh).. For some reason the video becomes corrupted if directly converted with the Huffy codec in DVD2AVI, any ideas?
Thanks,

You may have read the guide, but you didn't listen to what it told you to do - you just tried to pick out pieces of it.

Read the guide again. Follow its directions. Do what it tells you to do. And don't export to AVI directly from DVD2AVI.

You can always make a D2V project file off of the disc. That way you don't copy anything over to your computer :\ It's slow and klunky unless you have multiple DVD drives you can use.

Yeah, I got the project file working with the correct version of DVD2AVI, too many things can go wrong >_<
