decompile a DVD

[Chad Warner]

I have a DVD that I'd like to find out what framerate, interlacing, compression, etc. is being used to create the clips on the DVD. Does anyone know of a program or a method to obtain this information?

 

Thanks,

 

Chad

Well you could find the .vob files on the dvd and rename them to .mpg. Then you can bring those into Premiere and it may give you some info, but more than likely it will be at 29.97 fps if it is in ntsc format. Also, all dvd's are encoded in mpeg-2 format.

at http://www.free-codecs.com there is a freeware that can derive information about a video file.

 

standard ntsc DVDs use a frame rate of about 29.97 at 720x480

 

OR you can use a MPEG2 Decoder and Frame Server, based on DVD2AVI and MPEG2Dec. these frame servers can also extract information about vob files without the need to decrypt the dvd.

Downloading one now, I'll let you know how it works.

 

Thanks!

If you have Sony Vegas, you can open up the vob file and delve straight in

I downloaded "media info" from the link that jucaro provided, and it gives a lot of info about the VOB file. Including framerate, bitrate info, interlacing info, and a bunch of other things.

Well, TmpgEnc is very useful for this. Recomended
