AVS Video Tools
The Video ReMaker allows you to take video from a home camera or DVD and cut parts out you don't want, or do want. Protected DVD's are not a problem, Video ReMaker just states it is protected then asks if you want to proceed.
When importing film from a DVD, all the files on the DVD will show, you have to open the correct file by double clicking on it, this is normally the largest file. When cutting out scenes or parts of scenes, double click on the scenes then click and drag the slider in from each end. The area in white is what will be selected to be cut. There are two screens, one that shows the frame from where the cutting will start and one at the end of the cutting. Once you have selected the area you want to cut, click on Add Area of Deletion. The area of deletion will then show in red. To keep the area selected and cut out the rest, right click on the red line then click Invert Selections.
You can cut out many parts at once and zoom into the timeline so you can select individual frames for accurate cutting.
To save, you click on remake now. You are then given the options to save as DVD Pal or MPEG2. MPEG2 is probably the best format as it will play on practically any computer or DVD player. The edited film will then be re-made fast with no visible loss of quality. You can save the MPEG2's as one scene or individual scenes.
You also get DVD burning software and a file converter that allows you to convert any type of file to any format.
You do not get transitions or anything fancy with these tools. They are simple to use and fast with a low price of only $40.
Most important of all, compared to many other systems, they work fast, do not keep crashing the computer and keep the quality of the film.
You can download a free trial version that allows you to cut up to 5 minutes of film at a time.
You can also buy all the AVS tools for $69 that includes video editing that allows adding transitions sound and other effects. Video Editing is more complicated to use and works best with modern powerful computers. You can download the trail version of the Video Editing to see if your computer can handle the programe or if you can be bothered with the extra thought and time it takes to add special effects.
