Hi Armano,

Yes, I have brought in lots of DVD movies homemade and otherwise into Powerdirector. What you have to do is first download it to a folder on your hard drive, then open PD5 and import it from there...If you try to go
directly from the DVD drive, it's a problem. LEt me know if that works
for you. Shelley

Thank you Shelley for the idea.
The only question I have is, am I supposed to "rip" the clips from th dvd to bring them into my hard drive ?
Do I need other software to do that?
Thanks again
No more error messages!
No more crashes!
Great looking videos!!

Hi Armano,

No you don't need anything else except PD5.

The thing to remember though, is that you DO NOT want ALL the files that
will be on any DVD - so the best thing to do is, after you've put them on your hard drive (in it's own folder), VIEW each of the files BEFORE you bring them into PD5, and only bring in the actual footage files (there will be lots of other things that are not footage)...do that (the VIEWING part)with anything else you have, and write down the file names.

Then with PD5, you click on the bring in media files/folder and then select the individual files that you want from that folder, and it will bring them in for you...

Try it and let me know how it works. Shelley
