Uncaptioned DVD to Captioned DVD
Before you can modify the information on a DVD, it is necessary to “rip” or copy the
material from the uncaptioned DVD to the computer. Similar to digitizing, this requires the
use of DVD copying software (e.g., AOA DVD Ripper, ImTOO DVD, etc.). DVD ripping
software will convert the DVD presentation into one of the necessary file formats for Encore;
.AVI, MPEG-2, or .MOV.
1. Insert the uncaptioned DVD media into the computer. Use a DVD ripping
application to convert the DVD presentation to a .AVI, MPEG-2, or .MOV format.
2. Bring your “ripped” video assets into Adobe Encore DVD.
3. Import the video content into Adobe Encore DVD. Import the subtitles or .SCC file
created for the video. A .SCC file can be generated using CPC or RapidText
systems or by outsourcing to Automatic Sync.
4. Finalize and burn the DVD presentation for playback in DVD players.
Note—it is a copyright violation to “rip” or copy copyrighted video materials. Obtain
permission from the copyright holder before making duplicate copies of the presentation.
Note—the process of “ripping” uncaptioned DVD media to a .AVI, MPEG-2, or .MOV
format will remove the menu structure and navigation of the DVD. These elements will need
to be rebuilt using Encore DVD to maintain the same navigation structure of the original
DVD presentation.
