Capturing DVD Video Clip?

Sun Aug 29, 2021 9:16 am

I have a DVD of a TV series; I want to save one of the episodes on the disk. I tried playing it full-screen and capturing with Bandicam but I only get the audio. The full-screen is blank. I tried a test with the clip not-full-screen and Bandicam is capturing my desktop and taskbar and the audio/soundtrack but the windowed clip is black. :(

I tried a Search here but I suck at Searches.

My setup is Win 7 SP1 and Bandicam 5.1.1.1837 registered.

Is it possible to capture the video from a DVD file? I did try copying the disk to my HDD and then running Bandicam but the results were the same. I've also tried a half-dozen VOB cutters/editors and they all failed for various reasons.

How to capture from a DVD??? I can capture from YouTube OK and other online videos but not from my own video...

Thank You! :)

Thank you for your reply! I checked the FAQ and tried the Video Setting of H264. That worked for the video capture. But the capture is rather 'choppy'. I can live with it. There was no Xvid.

The FAQ also states to use the latest version of Bandicam. Mine is only two months old. I would upgrade it but I don't see a definitive statement on whether it needs to be uninstalled and the new version installed or whether the previous version can simply be overwritten.

I am hesitant to replace a working version with one I'm not sure about.

Uninstall or overwrite???

Hello richie9mt,

The Xvid codec appears when you select AVI for file format.
Uninstall or overwrite???
You don't need to uninstall. Just overwrite the program to update to the latest version of Bandicam.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for your help! I appreciate it! ;)

I tried a one minute capture using .AVI/Xvid and another using MP4/Mpeg-4 and found there was no noticeable difference in length or apparent quality. (Both still somewhat choppy but no screen freezes or pixielation).

I forgot to mention my computer, which probably affects capture considerably -

- Dell Latitude D630 laptop w/2.2gb dual-core Merom cpu
- 5gb DDR2 RAM
- Intel mobile 965 Express GPU
- 160gb HDD
- Windows 7 SP1

I will upgrade Bandicam and continue my experimentation. This is a whole new area of interest for me, not just capturing DVD segments but video capture of all kinds.

Thanks again! I'm sure I will be back for more advice! :mrgreen:

I had downloaded Bandicam v5.2.1.1860 thinking it was the latest but the popup msg says it is 64bit only. It redirects to v5.1.1.1837 for 32bit Windows but that page says "Bandicam 5.1.1 and Bandicut 3.1.5 are the final versions for 32-bit Windows".

So 32 bit Bandicam development has ceased??? Disappointing... :(

Too many of my favorite programs are 32bit only. For some, I can only use Windows XP as programs were written expressly for that version and don't work correctly in Windows 7/8/10. So I have DVD editing, capture, and shrinking programs on a separate HDD/laptop using Windows XP and another laptop/HDD with Windows 7 for Bandicam (and others like PowerDVD).

I will miss Bandicam as I am just getting used to it, but I guess I can try others. ;)
