What method do you use for getting source footage?

LightningCountX · Post by **LightningCountX** » Mon Jan 05, 2004 9:46 am

Well, ive just been curious lately on how people obtain their source footage, and export their videos. I know there are like 50 different ways to do it, but it never hurts to find out how the 50 different ways are done since the guides are limited.

My way is

dvd decrypter > dvd2avi(huffyuv) > virtualdub(deinterlace/huffyuv) > premiere 6.5(export uncompressed) > virtualdub(xvid bitrate 1800-2300, depends on video length)

Code: Select all

mkdir vob; cd vob; mkdir ../idx; tccat -i /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 -T [title],-1 | tcdemux -a 0 | split -b 1024m - src; for i in src*; do mpeg3toc `pwd`/$i $i.toc; mv $i.toc ../idx; done

My method?

1) use smartripper to create my vobs
2)then i create a basic avs file to deinterlace, crop, and resize, change colorspace and get the correct framerate for premire.
3)Edit in premire
4)Change the avs file so that it also cleans the footage
5)Export from premire in huffyuv with new avs file
6)use generic resize scripts to change resolution for either xvid, mpeg and mpeg2 encodes and feed those files into the respective programs.

What? That's actually what I do

Make the VOB directory, switch to it, make a directory for index files, rip the VOBs and split it into 1 gig chunks whilst demuxing the audio, index each chunk, move the index file to the index file directory, repeat until done with all chunks.

It saves me from having to babysit the process

DVD Decrypter> rename .VOB to .mpg > edit directly in Media Studio Pro 7.0

Yeah, I don't get the sound from the original video that way, but it's an AMV so it doesn't matter.

SmartRipper -> DVD2AVI (Project File) -> AVISynth 2.5.3 -> Virtualdub 1.5.7 (MJPEG) -> Premiere 6.5 (HuffYUV YUY2) -> AVISynth 2.5.3 (Filter/Resize) -> VirtualdubMod 1.5.4.1 (XviD 1.0 - Beta 3 - Koepi - Two Pass)

SmartRipper (VOB) --> DVD2AVI 1.76 (D2V) --> AVISynth 2.0.something (AVS) --> Adobe Premiere Pro (PPJ, HuffYUV (YUY2) AVI) --> AVISynth again (AVS) --> VirtualDubMod 1.4.something (XviD AVI, 2-pass) or TMPGEnc Plus 2.521.58.169 (MPEG-1 or -2)

DVD Decripter >> DVD2AVI 1.76 (Project file) >> AVS (Only siple script) >> Edit >> Change avs scripts to clean, deinterlace, etc. >> Export (huffYUV) >> VurtualDub 1.5.4 (Filter and resize, compress) -or- TMPGEnc (filter, mpeg1 or mpeg2) >> All Done!

Humm... seems longer than what I thought...
