How do i open my videos from a dvd -rw disc on my computer?

How do I transfer videos from a DVD-RW (Sony) 80 mm disc to my computer?

  • it cant copy and paste.. also i have windows vista. THANKS ^_^

  • Answer:

    you are looking at a DVD film thats why it wont copy across its not recorded as a movie file. you need software that can turn the VOB files back into an Mpeg movie. you should really only be using sony products to read in sony media this is because they may use techniques only known to them however there are lots of programs out there that can read in a DVD recombine audio and video tracks back to mpeg and allow you to edit and add/remove clips and then re-build the dvd. here is one that should work. its notthe best but i had version 5 and although that had serious bugs, its dvd import facilities were good.

MINIDVD If you have a mini dvd camcorder . You will have to finalize your dvd in the camera and then put the dvd in your computer's DVD burner (top loading only) and then you will have to convert the files (I downloaded http://www.handbrake.fr/ or free converter http://www.squared5.com and import them into your editing program. Use the HELP feature in your editing program to learn about editing. Usually you would import your videos and drop them in to the timeline, add transitions, menus, music, etc. Once you are ready to burn, your project will be burned to a different DVD and you can file the original away.

2.8GB, I'm guessing this is a doublw sided 1.4GB disc :o It should be standard DVD format when recorded onto the disc. Just copy and finalize it. You could use Nero, just copy the vob files over to the right template - or use an authoring program like DVD Author to add menu's and stuff.
