dvd-rom

[Guest]

is there a way to get video files into movie maker off of my dvd-rom drive?
We have a dvd burner at my school and we put all of our projects onto dvd. i
want to be able to get those projects onto my home computer. I have a dvd-rom.

klint_01,
I believe you will need to purchase DVD 'Ripping' software. It is available
in the wal-mart electronics department for ten bucks.

Hello,

It depends what format the files on the disk are stored in. From the way
you describe it it may that the files are WMV or AVI or JPeg and BMP if
stills. If so you can simply import those files into Movie Maker and proceed
from there.

If the project you are working on is managed by Movie Maker, AND, if you
saved the project file to the ROM, it should be possible to simply open the
project itself at home and proceed from there. If this is the case AND when
opening the project you find a load of red X's, simply double click that and
then navigate to your ROM thereby showing Movie Maker the path to the
location on your system.

Hello,

VOB = MPeg. You could try changing the extension to MPG and then using a
conversion program to create an AVI file.....take a look at the GREAT LINKS

KNOWLEDGE BASE section of my web site and get the link for Video

Help....if they do not have what you need then it probably does not exist.
