I found this particular thread while trying to find the software necessary to do the following......I have many DVD's that contain home movies from various camcorders on them. The DVD's are DVD-R mostly, having been made on an independent DVD Burner. I don't know what files they are. I want to be able to edit them, putting some images on Youtube, others , burn to DVD.
I have spent the last two days searching for the software that I need....it appears that I need a DVD converter, to make the files into either WMV or AVI. I downloaded bitripper, but it takes hours to do a 60 minute DVD.
My PC is Windows 8, and came loaded with Cyberlink Media Suite and Windows Movie Maker.
When I load a DVD, Cyberlink pops up with options to play or edit, but nothing to enable me to download the DVD to the Hard Drive.
Any thoughts or questions ? Thanks in advance.
