Thanks for the advice, Sandman. Unfortunately, I already tried Davinci Resolve, and when I imported the file, the audio became nothing but white noise. All I’m getting is nothing but KRRRRRRRRRRRRR through the whole video. I have no idea what’s going on with that, but it makes editing on Resolve worse than what I’ve got, because at least the audio is crystal clear on Shotcut. If you have a solution for this problem, I’d be happy to hear about it, because Resolve does look pretty good from what I’ve seen.
How old is your dvd rip? It may have problems with old file types, idk. Try something else new in there, if it works, its your file. If a new video doesn’t work, then something with your computer. Davinci Resolve should work just fine though. Ive seen lots of videos of professionals who switched to Resolve. Not needed though, there are other programs if you fancy.
I ripped the DVD from a program called MakeMKV, which I’ve been told is pretty reliable. Still, I decided to try ripping Episode II (It’s a newer movie, after all), and see what happens. Long story short, it’s even worse. Every time I drag the file into the media bin in Resolve, it does nothing. So, my conclusion is that Resolve refuses to work with ripped DVD files.
It’s no better on Shotcut either. Whenever I try to save the file, the program freezes for a half hour or so before finally giving me an error message that says that it couldn’t save the file, and to please try again. I’ve tried again repeatedly, and the same thing happens repeatedly.
Anyway, I’m gonna go do a little research into the Schormann preservation that SparkySywer mentioned. It’s possible that it might work with Resolve. I would try buying the blu-ray, but my brother took my external blu-ray drive a few years back, and it’s now hundreds of miles where I can’t reach it. Plus, I don’t want to spend $60-$100 on another one.
