There are a number of ways you can copy a DVD movie on your hard drive. One of the most basic ones requires no video conversion of any sort. You can insert your DVD into your computer, then create an image of it (by a program like PowerISO); the next time you want to play your DVD, just mount its image and play it like an actual DVD movie. Another method to copy the movie on your hard drive is to use some DVD ripping application which will convert the entire DVD movie into some other video format (like AVI) and save it on your computer.
But what can one do if the entire DVD movie is not needed? What if you need to copy and save only a particular portion of the DVD?
The answer is AVI’s DVD Cutter.
DVD Cutter is a 2.5MB freeware application for Windows operating systems. It lets users copy (and save on the hard drive) specific portions of a DVD movie being played.
The controls of the application are very easy to use. While the movie is being played, we can use simple buttons to set the START and END times of our desired portion. We can also use the slider to slide to another location in the DVD. In addition to the DVD movie itself, the copied videos can also be played within the software.
In conclusion, if you are looking for an easy way to copy specific portions of a DVD while saving disk space, then AVI’s DVD Cutter is one of the most user-friendly freeware options you will find.
