Can I generate a new DVD from the "Disc image" files in the DiskTemp folder on Movie Edit Pro 10

jmccabe wrote on 5/23/2011, 4:04 AM

I created a DVD recently from a video I captured from VHS. Once I created the DVD I removed the video files as I was short of disk space. Now I can't find the DVD!

 

I still have the files in the DiskTemp folder (i.e. DiskTemp\Disk Image XXX). Is it possibly in Movie Edit Pro 10 (Plus) to recreate the DVD from those files without having the original video?

 

Thanks

Hi jmcabe, all depends on how and what you captured. But if you captured in MPEG or something readable to MEP 10, then locate this file. If VOB files, then you might need to rename to MPG and try to import into the program. 

If you can get it in and see it, then you have a good chance of burning it. If iso files, then try nero etc??

Hi

 

Thanks for taking the time to answer however, unfortunately that's the point; I don't have what I captured available any more, all I have is the "temp files" in the DiskTemp folder that are created by MEP10 when it's burning a DVD. These are the files MEP10 uses to decide whether to ask you, if you re-burn a project, whether you want to re-encode or not etc.

 

They are similar to a DVD structure in that there are .IFO files  and .VOBs. I tried using VSO ConvertXToDVD on (i think) one of the IFO files; the video looked fine but there was no audio!

The vob file should do it actually, and should load into a video program??

Thanks for that. I randomly tried importing the VOB from the DiskTemp folder last night (before your answer :-) as a new MVD and hey presto, all went well. It seemed odd that the VSO app didn't produce any sound, but...

 

Thanks again.
