now let me see if I have this right
Was just going back over the very beginning lessons again, and caught the clip on Ksebara. It will read MP2 DVD's, and place their info in the scene bin, whereas Disk Transfer will read AVI"s and put them in the same place. Can the MP2's be ANY DVD, or does it have to be one burned by the same machine?

Videojim,
It has to be a DVD created by a Macrosystem Casablanca unit. Just any MPEG 2 DVD will not upload. On the rare occasion it does, it will most likely NOT have audio after you try to import it.

Re: now let me see if I have this right
Jim,
As Joel indicated Kesbara is intended to allow you to harvest a project that was burned to DVD on a Casablanca via Arabesk software. Folks have imported other produced DVDs, but usually only capture the video. I have had more success with my Bogart editor (S4000 PRO) being able to bring in both audio and video from a DVD created in iMovie/iDVD). But I do not expect that will be the norm.
Also, Ksebara is retrieving project data from a DVD - where the original footage was subjected to fairly high compression. Disk Transfer is importing footage that was saved (via Disk Transfer) without any further compression than the original footage... so between the two options Disk Transfer yields much higher quality results.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Chet

Re: now let me see if I have this right
Out of interest I went into Record and clicked the USB icon the other day (on Bogart v3 - not Smart Edit) and I'd left a Arabesk DVD in the burner.
The files showed up and it allowed me to import/record files into the scene bin.
I don't know if this is quicker or better than Ksebara - it just surprised me.

Re: now let me see if I have this right
Your SD material (.VTS files) will have a progressive look using the Bogart SE Import procedure for a SD DVD. I never cared for the quality either with this method.
BTW: Media manager will only rip HD files from a disc and not the .VTS files from a SD DVD.
