hello and welcome to video revealed I'm
Colin Smith and this is your place for
professional video production techniques
the subject of this reveal how to edit a
DVD disc in Adobe Premiere Pro
well it happens to all editors you're
known to be an editor and someone will
ask you can you edit my video and you
say sure and you give me the files and
then they hand you one of these things
and you go ah really this is it what I
have to edit and your first thought
might be you're out of luck you can't
edit a DVD actually you are in luck
because Premiere Pro can accept the
native files right off of a DVD now
although you can edit with this disc in
your computer and you're editing the
files on the DVD you don't want to do
that you need to move the files from the
disk onto your computer and on windows
that might require right-clicking on the
disc and choosing Explorer and then
copying them over on the Mac you might
just be able to do that on the desktop
the bottom line is you don't want to
auto-launch these into a DVD player all
right these files are also extremely
compressed remember they were never
meant to be edited they're dot VOB files
and they're meant to be stuck in a DVD
player so they're super highly
compressed the slower your computer is
the harder it is going to be to
decompress these and edit them but it
can be done let's go have a look okay so
this is the hard drive over here sorry
this is the DVD this is the DVD loaded
right here and there's an audio TS and
video TS folder if I open up the video
TS folder remember that these drives are
not as fast as hard drives so you'll
hear things whirring and clicking and
making a lot of noise as it reads this
and here are the native dot v OB file
which stands for video object it's
important to note that not all VOB files
on a disk are real videos some are menus
some are chapters some are things that
again were only meant to be edited or
meant to be played back from a DVD
player so look for the larger things
anything that's small you know 65 K or 8
bytes stay away from that look for the
big stuff those are the video files
and you can see that we're starting to
preview all of these we're still working
away at reading these and then creating
a thumbnail the thumbnails are not part
of that video but there they are they're
showing up and once they're all saved
I can mouse over this area and go back
and forth and import these in and some
of these you can see that this is a
video that's used as a menu I probably
don't want that I'm just going to grab
this one right here now I I've already
brought these in over here just to make
it a little bit faster but just trust me
don't do this from the disk now I have
these native VOB objects I can literally
just drag them in and start to use them
right inside here and edit that's a
native dot VOB object you can see that
now that I drag them in my timeline
they're inside here you don't have to
change the format I can completely edit
this and take this 2-part and do a
completely new edit on there and there
you go it's as simple as that so the
next time someone says can you edit
goofy guys whistling you tell them
absolutely I can do that with Premiere
Pro couple things you can't edit a
protected disc so if you remember the
days of blockbuster or Redbox today if
it's a protected commercial disc you
cannot edit that and you can't do this
for blu-ray well hopefully you found
