Video_RM and Video_ts

Post by BlueGoose »

I have a RCA move DRC 8295 vhs/dvd recorder and have transferred some home movies that were on vhs tapes to dvd's. I am trying to edit these movies by adding special effects. When I look at the files on each dvd there are 2 directories (video_rm and video_ts). Under these directories there are .bup,.ifo,.vob files. I have tried the "import from dvd" section of Video 9 and get a " failed to open DVD" error message. Can anyone help on how to import these files into Video 9?

thanks

Worst case, copy the .VOB file from the DVD to your harddrive and rename it to have a .MPG extension -- that should open without problems.

I have never seen a reference to a video_rm file before and assume it has something to do with Real Player (anathema! anathema!). In any case, I think Torsten's advice applies to taking the .VOB files from the video_TS folder and renaming the extensions .mpg from their current .vob ones.

VIDEO_RM is an additional directory used when creating DVD +VR disks.

The +VR disk allows you to edit the menus and menu structures, not the
video itself. Uses the same VIDEO_TS folder as standard dvd-video
using VOB files as containers.

The -VR mode disk is a DVD-RW and you can edit the video content
by trimming/cutting etc. The video is written to a directory
called DVD_RTAV. The -VR format uses one large file as the
container for the mpg2 files. If you recorded 4 separate mpg2 videos at
1 gig each they would be contained in one 4 gig file on the dvd-rw disk.
DVD-RW in -VR mode is the same as DVD-RAM video mode (Editable).

+VR disks uses Chapters.
-VR disks use Playlists.

If you have MovieFactory4 you can create a +VR disk and look at the
directory structure created on the dvd.

If you have MovieFactory4 you can create a -VR disk and look at the
directory structure created on the dvd.

That is also what the -VR compatible format is for when you create
a mpg2 file under the "Compression" tab when setting the Project Properites or outputting to a separate mpg2 file.

Hope this helps,

MD
