When I edit from DVD source, I make seperate episodes and then skim through all the episodes I want footage from. I may tryout the HuffYUV clips method for one video instead of my traditional MJPEG -> AVS full ep editing method.

First off....WHERE DID YOU FIND A MOVIE FOR ZONE OF ENDERS???!!!

Sorry, I love that book and want to know where you found it. Anyway, I know well ahead of time what scenes will go where and I attach my camera to my DVD player and record to it all the scenes I need (and some extras) as one continuious clip I then put on my computer and divide into seperate more managable sections.

...there is no Z.O.E. movie. It was only an OVA. Most people mistake the OVA for a movie.

Perhaps you're thinking of the Ender books by Orson Scott Card? That confused me at first, too :P

No. I use to work with 20+GB files.

I only cut my source when it's different episodes, like a TV serie.

I edit in straight VOB files using the AVS file format with Huffyuv compression instead of DV or any of the other ones.... But you would need a powerful processor for this method. 8)

First off, isn't this supposed to be in the video forum?

Yeah, I do the same thing as Hotori, except that I don't have a fast processor... so I just suffer. I thinks that's why my vids take SO long to make.

and TWK: your saying that you point your camera at the TV? That's a first.

How slow is the computer when editing VOB directly? I have Athlon 1800+ but only 256 DDR-SDRAM...

I'm getting tired of those 25 GB files...

I'd agree, this would likely go best in General Video.

My 1Ghz T-bird with 512MB of DRD2100 RAM only lags a split second when editing directly from the vob files. More memory would definitley help your situation, but your CPU should be plenty fast. Probably even better would be the bait-and-switch editing method from the new video guides- all the quality of the raw .vob files (not to mention being able to use the decomb and ivtc without it slowing Premiere down to a crawl- which it does at least on my computer) but with much lower potential for slowdown. Does take a fair bit of planning, though.

As for splitting up the files- if you're working off DVD (as in using a DVD-ROM, not capturing through a card...) , you should be able to have the ripping program split the .vob files into smaller sizes. There was a thread a short ways back about this - http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=5648&highlight=smartripper.

I guess it would lag like VirtualDub does when you're frameserving from DVD2AVI? That seems workable. I'll try it for my next AMV.

that split second lag becomes a molasses trip when you IVTC like you're supposed to :(

It's not really that slow. I have an 1800 with 512 ddr 2700 ram on a KT3 Ultra board. It works better when the hard drive is defraged before you work on a video and not add much more to the drive the vob files are on also. (I have a separate drive for video editing 80 gig drive)
