Importing an .iso file into videostudio

[Glenn in Chile]

I wonder if I may ask another question. Is it possible to insert an iso file directly onto the timeline for subsequent editing? I have a lot that I've created from all my DVDs. Rgds, Glenn

Not an iso file I'm afraid Glenn it will create them and burn a DVD from them but not import for edit - but you can import the original DVD straight into Videostudio - investigate "Insert Digital Media" after right clicking on the timeline. Also available from "File >> Insert Media File to Timeline (or library) >> Insert Digital Media"

An easy alternative would be to download the free VLC player from http://www.videolan.org/

this will play an iso exactly as if it were a DVD - chapters/scenes and all - and also provides the facility to record it direct to your PC as a file you can then insert into Videostudio

Thanks Brian. I'll put that on my wish list for X9. All your help is very much appreciated. You sure know your stuff. Warm regards, Glenn

Hi

the iso file I assume is a dvd iso

Basically it is a zipped VIDEO_TS Folder

Use win zip or similar to extract the contents.
Then use VS to import digital media from the folder.

IF you have the dvd disc then as Brian says you can import from that

...Or you could "mount" the ISO so that it appears to the computer to be an actual drive, and import from there...

Thanks to all. Everything works as recommended.
