Cut the blue screen and snow from a dubbed DVD

Your tapes are on DVD now, with blue screens and snow at the start, the end and in between. No more hunting for them.

Open the DVD video

Steps

  1. Select everything in the DVD’s VIDEO_TS folder, drop it into Trim and press “Convert and open”.
  2. The video is checked in the background; the parts with nothing recorded (blue screen, snow, silent black) are hatched on the bar.
  3. Press “Keep only the recorded parts” for one range per scene: “Part 1”, “Part 2” …
  4. Save them joined into one video without the gaps, or one file per part, as VOB or MP4.

Questions

Will dark scenes be cut too?
A black picture only counts as empty when it is silent as well. Dark scenes with voices or sound stay. You can adjust every range afterwards.
How precise is it?
Each empty part is found to the frame. Play the hatched parts to check if you like.
Can I convert several DVDs at once?
A tool such as “Convert to MP4” can be used on every open video, each saved in turn (Orihako Pass). One at a time is free.
