Press play on the DVD player and record to miniDV tape. Then capture the miniDV tape. </p> <p> You can also download handbrake. it allows you to rip the DVDs. It takes long though.  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/getting-footage-off-of-a-dvd#post-36565 Fri, 16 May 2008 12:41:36 +0000 contrain 36565@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <blockquote><p> Is there any way to get the footage off of a dvd and into my NLE (I use Premiere Pro CS3)?

What do you guys think? Witch is a better format to use, DV tape, Mini DVD, or a Hard drive? Witch will have the better quility image? Any thoughts on this matter will help me make up my mind about buying a new video camera</p>
