VideoStudio SDK ? Help
Is there a video studio SDK for independent software vendors to build their applications on ...
Here is my challenge
We are building a system thats suppose to be able to rip video files from DVD's but with the timestamp, convert to VMW and send to a client via FTP
currently, we may need to buy 200 videostudio licenses so that each user has the application ... and can rip etc
a better scenario would be to use their SDK to probe the DVD drive, list the video files, rip them and then we can transfer
Can anyone assist ?

I don't think they offer what you are looking for. I only found this SDK which looks like it would require a full Video Studio install for each user.
If you can use a stand-alone ripping program, take a look at VOB 2 MPG (FREE!!!) I've had "mixed results" with it, so it might not work with all DVDs. If all of your DVDs are coming from the same source (same type of camera, etc.) you might be OK. If they are coming from undetermined sources, this is going to be a tough project! (I've had mixed results with Video Studio too.)
You might try contacting the people who make VOB2MPEG, VideoReDo, or Womble. They appear to be small companies and they appear to be MPEG experts. Although, they may outsource their MPEG codecs... I don't know... It might be easier get in direct contact with a knowledgeable software developer at a small organization.... and it might be easier to "cut a deal".
P.S.
Now that I think about it, VideoReDo doesn't actually have an MPEG codec. (Their program doesn't re-code the MPEG data) But, I still think their programmers might be MPEG experts.
And, SVCD 2 DVD seems to use open-source (unlicensed) MPEG encoders.
Womble does have a full MPEG codec (and I assume it's licensed).

VideoReDo contains its own codec and does not rely on the Windows system codec. (enCOder/DECoder or COmpressor/DECompressor)
Contact them directly at support@videoredo.com for custom work.
I hope the inquiry is about unencrypted non-commercial DVDs
