What is the best application for this task?

[c073186]

I want to extract pieces of a DVD - not by chapter, but by specific points in time. I only know of DVDxDV that can do this but before spending $25 I want to double-check to see if there is something better available (or even something that is free?). What are your recommendations?

I think you can use mac the ripper to rip the DVD and then use ffmpegx to cut it.

How do you cut specific parts out with ffmpegx?

ffmpegx has a function of split, by time. Im not sure if it will work with MTP produced folder, but doesn't hurt to try before others come up with better ideas....

I use DVDxDV

I can offer my support of the DVDxDV application. I'm a relatively new user of the app, but I use it to copy individual game plays from complete game DVDs. You can very easily do what you are suggesting from non-encrypted DVDs.

It's $25 bucks for the regular version, which I've found perfectly suitable for my needs.
