How do you capture with Adobe without ripping DVD's

Postby genestarwind21122 » Tue Jun 17, 2003 10:24 am

My question is how do you capture with Adobe without ripping DVD's. Because ripping DVD's takes up at least 4 GB's and I can't affoard to use all that space.

Capturing video takes even more space than ripping DVDs.

You're also better off capturing using VirtualDub instead of Premiere.

Well... if you capture or rip only the clips you're actually using instead of the entire show, then you can cut the space requirement quite a lot either way. But I think it's unrealistic to expect to create AMVs with less than 4G free. You'll be pretty unhappy if you don't have multiple free gigs, and disc space is so cheap now there's no reason not to get a nice big drive.

:P that's what I sorta meant. Usually captured footage, if you did it losslessly, would take about the same space as a single DVD.

I am thinking 1GB/min for 720x480@29.97fps. Of course that is huffYUV in RGB mode. YUV would give smaller results.

You're most likely going to need more footage than your AMV, unless you've got your AMV entirely planned out. So 5mins atleast for a 3min AMV, sounds about right. That's atleast 5GB :|. Maybe you'll need more or less. But you're not saving alot of space by capturing over ripping.
