I have loads of Oasis stuff on video that I want to edit and burn on to DVD.

I've got a DVD recorder so I've put most of it on DVD now.

I've been told Mac The Ripper is the best software to use to rip it on to my Mac for editing but it looks pretty complicated.

Has anyone used this who could give me a few pointers?

Cheers in advance.

Hi mate,

Yeah, I want to be able to rip the vob files and edit them with Avid ideally. Then burn the resulting footage back to DVD.

I managed to rip the vob files using Mac The Ripper last night but not sure what to do with them now so that I can edit them.

I downloaded something called Streamclip - www.squared5.com/ - which says it can convert them into Mpeg but I had to purchase an Mpeg-2 add-on for my Quicktime or something first.

Basically I just want to rip my footage from my DVDs, edit it on Avid, then rip it back to DVD.

think with that you can export as quicktime or avi without the mpeg2 purchase..... they are much better quality formats too. DVD files are already compressed and you ideally want to not compress the files anymore because you may lose the quality..... think avi is the format that avid uses - am i right?

hope thats a help

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
