I want to edit a DVD I had made of 8mm movies.  The DVD works fine on a DVD Player, and works fine with a PC DVD player.  However, when I try to Capture the DVD to hard disk which is required for editing, it says there are no files on the DVD.  It does recognize the folder 'VIDEO_TS" but not the contents.

Do you see 2 DVD capture devices as shown below? You should use the one that also says DVD in the icon

WOW! worked like a champ.  I can't believe I never saw the drive  specified twice.

Thank you very much.  Now I am off to a new world of vedio editing. These movies go back to the 1930s and 1940.

Hi, I'm missing the symbol with 'DVD', you showed in your post. It doesn't appear in Capture, what can be wrong?

Can you view the files with Windows Explorer?    What version of EMC 7 are you using?

Are you trying to capture home movies or a commercially produced DVD?   EMC7 won't capture copy protected material.

I'm using EMC 7.5. The DVD is a home made on a DVD Recorder.
I see the folder VIDEO_TS and its content in the explorer. With Disc Copier I can copy the DVD to a DVD-Videofolder. But from there I get the same failure, can see only the folder VIDEO_TS.

The source DVD must be finalized for this to work. If it is 'plus' media finalizing is not needed provided you did not format it as DVD VR in your Recorder.

ml also asked if you could view the files using Explorer?

The DVD is finalized.
In the Windows Explorer I can see the VOB-,  IFO- and BUP-files.
In the copied folder, too. (copied with Disc Copier)

Forget the above.
I just saw that there is an update, to 7.5.2.49.
I DL and installed it and - simsalabim - the icon with DVD (that myguggi marked in his picture) is in DVD Capture and I can copy my DVD to mpg.
Nonetheless, thank you all.
