How do I change these into an editable format?

[richmondfloyd]

Hi,

Seems to be my week for technical hurdles!

I have a been sent a DVD from my client which he wants me to edit down. The files on the disk are:
VIDEO_TS.VOB
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VIDEO_TS.BUP
VTS_01_3.VOB
VTS_01_3.VOB
VTS_01_2.VOB
VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_0.BUP

I have converted using MPEG Streamer to ProRes to edit as I guess this is the best to edit from?

I have also got SDHC cards that have the following files on them:
PRG002.PGI
MOV007.MOI
MOV007.MOD

etc

and another folder labelled MGR Info with:
PRG_MGR
MGR_DATA

and another MISC with:
AUTPRINT.MRK

How to I open and extract these files?

They will be used in FCP and the final result with be SD DVD for an American audience, which I have never done before!

Thanks

There are doubtless many ways to do this, but I recently had to convert a DVD to editable form and used the following to create DV.mov files from a VOB source.

You perform the conversion to DV outside of FCP, then import the DV files instead of the VOB your client gave you.

I also kept a link to this software, and would have tried it if the above hadn't worked for me;

Great - thanks. Converted them to ProRes, do you think that is the best codec? Used to using it that's all.

In terms of the SDHC card, how in the heck do I get the footage to ProRes since I guess the process is different from DVD.
