HELP please -> Just had a DVD made and want to cut it into FLV files

winebuddy · 03-20-2009, 11:59 AM

It's a 2 hour DVD of a seminar I did and I was wondering the best way to convert to FLV and cut it into small 5 minute or 10 minute segments.

It's about an hour and 50 minutes long.

Any help?

Hi Winebuddy:

Hope you are well.

First please:

Google search converting DVD video to FLV
and then try it this way
Google search converting DVD video to FLASH

There is going to be software that you can purchase that will extract the files from DVD to various formats. In this case you want FLV. MPEG is also a very common choice. Better quality but more space is taken up.

The trial products have severe limitations. Unless something has changed they will have either a company name or words "Trial" on the end result, they will limit the number of edits in a video, you will only be able to edit 5 to 10 minutes at a time, only edit odd or even chapters.

The software will be from 50.00 and up most likely. Please read reviews first.

A lot of the products are not always user friendly so please be careful. If you end up not being comfortable since there is no margin of error please see if a friend or family member can help.

The FLV format will be about 1/10 the size and make for quicker play, download, and upload but test the quality to see if the trade off is worth it. Some of the FLV players don't give you a full screen option. You can have a 21 inch computer monitor and only a 6 inch FLV screen.

Good luck and I hope the project is a large money maker!

Alright bub

What you need to decide is where it's going to go and what kind quality you want. AVI and Mpeg are good if your just going to bop them onto small CDs. Just use Windows Media Player and rip DVD, get a video cutter and split away.

If your going to post them on a website or on a video sharing site then FLV, SWF, or even MOV is good as it's small enough to upload and the quality is about average. Just rip the DVD as before but get a convertor.

If your into podcasting them MP4 is probably best. As Ipod and most players can use the video straight and the quality is quite good for the size

What was the original video format you used to create the DVD? Not sure why you're ripping the DVD.
