Import from DVD or Blu-ray Disc

The Importer : Import from DVD or Blu-ray Disc

The Importer can import video and audio data from DVDs and BDs (Blu-ray discs).

Note: Blu-ray authoring is not included by default. To add it, choose Help > Purchase Blu-ray, and follow the steps to complete the purchase. If you have already purchased Blu-ray authoring, but need to reactivate it, see “Restore purchase” on page 262.

To import from a disc

1 From the Import tab, click DVD.

2 To begin, insert the source disc in its drive and select it in the Source drop-down menu above the preview area.

If you have more than one optical drive, choose the correct device among those listed.

Note: Copy-protected media cannot be imported.

3 Before starting the capture, make sure that your destination folder and file name are set the way you want them (see “Import sources” on page 219).

Note: Because large files can be involved when importing from optical discs, selecting the correct import directory is important. In particular, ensure that the designated storage location has sufficient space available (see “Import sources” on page 219).
