Hello,
A friend of mine got Adobe Premiere Elements 8 installed on his computer.
He has Nero software installed too.
He is able to import the DVD directly into Premiere Elements without using the media downloader. I guess Nero (or some other software on his computer) has installed some kind of codec so he can import DVD like that.
What kind of codec does he uses? I don't want to install Nero, since it's a bloating software, and I don't really need it. (My thumb of rule about software is: if you don't use it, uninstall it).
I, currently, use MPEG Streamclip to read and convert DVD files into AVI files so Premiere Elements can import and read them without any rendering. The only problem with the MPEG Streamclip is it takes a long time to convert DVDs.
What do you think?
Regards,
