Capturing footage from dvd - invalid parameter

trotsky · Post by **trotsky** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 8:52 pm

When attempting to capture footage from a dvd using ULEAD VID STUDIO 9 some of the footage will not capture due to 'Invalid Parameter'. I have no idea what this means or how it can be fixed. Can anyone help please?

...and how exactly are your trying to 'capture' from the DVD -- by putting the DVD into your computer DVD drive? By copying the Files on it to your hard disk? Using the 'Insert DVD/DVD-VR' command or just changing the .vob extensions to mpg? It might also be useful to know the properties of the files you have successfully captured.

I am loading the DVd into the cpu and selecting the 'import from DVD/DVD-VR' option.

The properties of my successful capture are as follows:

Have you tried the other two options I mentioned i.e. copying the files from the DVD to your hard disk and then using Insert DVD/DVD-VR from there, or else simply renaming the extension?

In Windows Explorer/My Computer, highlight the file and select 'Rename'. Leave the first part of the name but change '.vob' to '.mpg'.
