I’ve tried a lot for that very same task and, in my opinion, the three free ones that are, at the same time easy to use are:Thanks a lot of course. A very good help.
-VideoPad: Easiest, but kind of “nagware”.
-Olive Video Editor: Still in beta, but works well and the learning curve is not too steep. Lots of good tutorials in the web.
-Tool Rocket Vid Clipper: The one I’m using at the moment. Good quality, not too heavy results.-marisaga (September 22, 2021, 10:28 AM)
AVIDemux:Running to try !!!!!!!
Load the movie,
Move to the start of a section you don't want,
Hit cursor up or down to move to the nearest I-Frame,
Control+PgUp to mark the start,
Move to the end of the section,
Hit cursor up or down to move to the nearest I-Frame,
Control+PgDn to mark the end,
Control+X to remove that section,
Repeat as necessary,
Save.
If you haven't made a cut on an I-Frame you will be warned.
Otherwise there's also Lossless-Cut if you like funky interfaces.-4wd (September 19, 2021, 12:07 PM)
^sorry about that -- but my point remains Contro.I do this once in a year.
If there are no recommendations from DC members, why not try Gizmo's recommendations? (Or other sources - how did you get on with ShotCut?)
You can then let us know how good they are, if they do what you want, are easy to use etc. thereby giving something back to the community.-tomos (September 19, 2021, 06:37 AM)
impressive features, simple and intuitive user interfaceSeems for android....-tomos (September 18, 2021, 08:18 AM)
^ were they recommended by someone?I prefer DC
Do you not trust gizmo's recommendations? I'm not saying they always right, but if you don't get any personal recommendations, it's a good place to start.
e.g. for one app they say:
"impressive features, simple and intuitive user interface". Sounds good to me...-tomos (September 18, 2021, 08:18 AM)
Techsupportalert makes a couple of recommendations for video editing including comments about ease of use etcI'll take a look and comment.-tomos (September 17, 2021, 12:51 AM)
Can you say a little more about what you want to do, the source and length of the video clips, etc.?The source is a movie of about two hours and a half.-mouser (September 16, 2021, 05:49 PM)
Thanks 4wd.The track is damaged and is not possible to recover the images quality.-Contro (September 08, 2021, 04:41 AM)
Depends how the track is damaged, if it's data corruption due to the azide layer detiorating then no, you've got no hope.
If it's due to a scratch on the DVD then you can polish it out, I've recovered quite a few CDs/DVDs doing this.
FWIW, I still use RipIt4Me if I need to rip a DVD.-4wd (September 09, 2021, 03:44 AM)
Understood.I need a clever software able to minimize the errors and give the best vision.-Contro (September 07, 2021, 04:51 AM)
FWIW I don't think you're going to find a magic pill to 'fix' the 'errors' (how would said app know what was an error without something to reference against, like the original files
My experience parallels what shades said, ie rip the disc to your HDD regardless of the format, then convert it using the software of choice (YMMV but I use DVD Smith Movie Backup to rip to HDD, then X Media Recode to transcode). Sure it might take some time, but if the end goal is to have a local copy in a readable format then that;s the price you have to pay-Target (September 08, 2021, 04:25 AM)
DVDs and BluRay discs are riddled with DRM. Some of those DRM solutions scramble up the content/structure of a DVD/BluRay disc pretty severely. The original disc will work in most hardware players, but it is not a given that software can unscramble the content. Most of the time it is best to use a tool that extracts all the content from a disc onto your hard drive. The extractor is more often than not capable of fixing whatever the DRM broke.The dvd or blueray are not under DRM in this case.-Shades (September 05, 2021, 02:13 AM)
A nice link to be preserved.Sites like AfterDawn have a lot of guides on how to comvert video files, rip DVDs, etc. Consult those first. Some of those are quite old, but are still valid.-Shades (August 18, 2021, 07:43 AM)
It has been years since I did video conversion but I remember VideoHelp as one of the better sites. Of course my knowledge may be dated. Some of the software I used is no longer developed.
Another cool thing about video help, it has a list of "remote hacks." Many region one dvd players will revert to region free if you follow the instructions posted by users of the particular dvd player. I had 2 models of Philips DVD player and an Oppo. They all became region free after entering the remote control sequences listed on dvd help.-MilesAhead (August 18, 2021, 10:48 AM)

'MakeMKV', 'Handbrake' or 'VidCoder', those are the tools you'll need to convert a DVD into single video files.I tried handbrake and makemkv.
Don't play around with standard presets, until you have a good grasp of what those values mean and how these can affect the result.
Patience is required, regardless of the "horse power" your computer may have. Especially when using HEVC (a.k.a. x265/h265), the conversion is very intensive for RAM and CPU.-Shades (August 17, 2021, 06:42 PM)
