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

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...
