DVD and plugins

[evance]

I'm finally up and running. But I have a few questions.
1) Is there anyway to get the video that comes from my DVD Player (internal) into the toaster or do I have to use an external system.

2) Where can I find the plugins to allow LW[8} to renter rtv files.

Thanks
evance

1. The VOB files on a DVD are essentiallly multiplexed MPEG-2 files. VT-Edit will accept a MPEG-2 file if you have decodng software installed. This thread (http://vbulletin.newtek.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19395&highlight=MPEG2) mentions that the Elecard decoder works well. You may need to copy the VOB file to a video drive and rename it with a .mpg extension though.

2. The rtv plug-in should be in your VT3\Lightwave\Plugins folder from the 7.5 installation. I haven't tried it myself yet, but I've heard others are having problems with it working in 8.
