I believe a lot of us do video ripping for different purposes. Some of you rip a CD to watch it on PSP, others to watch it on their PS3, others in order to save harddisk space, etc.
I personally rip videos because i don't like to go through a bunch of discs and i like them in my harddrive. Of course, harddrive space is a concern but i like retaining the video encoding and formatting same as the originals. So what i do is to mux/demux away unwanted audio tracks and subtitles; which leads to somewhat reduced size.
However, the problems begins when we want to cut away unwanted scenes. The clunky solution for my problem would be to split the videos and join the wanted scenes together. However, doing so sometimes leads to out-of-sync video/audio output and blur image at the joining point where the video was once split.
The right solution would have been video editing software. But video editing software come with all sorts of problems too. Once the editing is done; you will pretty much have to re-encode the entire video. And re-encoding the video comes with so many settings that is somewhat hard to match the original settings:
Progressive, interlaced, baseline, high, low, bit-rate (overal, maximum, minimum, variable, constant), resolution, pixel ratio, display ratio, ReFrames, color space, frame rate, bit depth, scan type, CABAC, SECAM, DV, DVH, NTSC, PAL, AVCHD, MPEG-2, AAC, PCM, MP4, M2TS, MKV, etc. Pretty much insert yours!
And then the other problem is that each video editing software only support a certain limited amount of formats and settings. Vegas Pro 10 did not support bit-rates higher than 26Mbps. Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 did not support certain AVC compression format. Avid Media Composer did not support .M2TS format. And the list keeps rolling down.
Which makes me wonder, what the heck are movies/animation studios using to make their AVC/PCM audio/video editing for their Blu-rays having bit rates has high as 48Mpbs!
Now, to my problem. I am trying to rip this anime Blu-ray disc i bought; cut the unwanted scenes and put them back together into a simple M2TS file so that i could watch them on my computer or PS3. I wonder if anybody knows what software those Japanese anime studio use to edit their videos. And any way to cut away scenes without resorting video editing software without the problems i mentioned?
