Pinnacle Studio image001 Import from DVD or Blu ray DiscThe Import Wizard can import video and audio data from DVDs and BDs (Blu-ray discs). To begin, insert the source disc in its drive and select it in the Import From panel of the Import Wizard. If you have more than one optical drive, choose the correct device among those listed.

Note: Copy-protected media cannot be imported.

Before starting the capture, make sure that your destination folder and file name are set up in the other panels the way you want them.

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.

Previewing the disc files

The media on optical discs are accessed through the computer’s file system. For this reason, the previewing controls in the central area, the methods for selecting files, and the procedure for importing, are the same as for ordinary file-based media (except that the unneeded folder view starts in the closed position).
