Greetings All,

Can you use a DVD made from a DVR (Pioneer DVR 7000),
with DV Camcorder or
TV source material burned/"captured"/recorded on the DVD ,
to input to your
PC for editing (using Adobe Premiere).?

I have no idea what I'm talking about here so bear with me
if you will.I
already have a DV Camcorder, the DVR, Premier software(a
present which has
never been used),firewire port .....BUT no capture card/TV
tuner in my PC. I
basically want to transfer video already stored on DVD
(from the DVR) into
the PC for editing and then burn back to DVD using burning
software/computer
DVD burner. I am thinking that this would totally replace
the need for a
VIDEO CAPTURE CARD in my PC.I am thinking I would need DVD
"ripping"
software to get material into PC and then use Premier to edit.

Am I missing some important step here or is this plan
fundamentally flawed
for some reason eg do you need to capture the RAW video
feed or something
into the PC first or process it in some way etc, before
passing it on to
Premier?

Grateful for any advice or comments,with Thanks.

DVR is DVD Recorder.It Records to DVD - R/RW Media.You can record direct
from TV,DV,video sources,other DVD's (if not protected). Hence you end up
with a DVD archive of source material but without the editing ability of
going through a PC first.
