So today a student came in wanting to edit a highlights video of UD's Football Team. Handbrake is a handy application that can be used to do this that normally would work very well. Just select the source and where it is being saved to and the rest is history. There was only one problem with this though, the DVD was encrypted so an error message kept popping up and causing trouble. We decided to use Visual Hub instead to create an MP4 file so that way the video could be opened in iMovie and edited to all of its glory. Just be sure though that if it is a basic DVD you leave the quality on standard because otherwise an error message will appear. The program cant take a standard definition video and turn in into HD because that would make things too easy.
Regardless, Visual Hub is a great alternative to other programs that allow you to capture video and download it onto your computer. All of the Macs in the SMDC Center have the application installed so it is very easy to do.
