If you’re using makemkv with the default settings, I think the minimum length is set to 90 seconds. You probably have to lower that, I’d set it to 1 just to make sure you get everything.

I already did that while ripping the DVD in makemkv. Thank you for the advice though! I also had to put it in manual mode to make sure it got every single title and every single chapter of each title because it would skip over a lot of things.

The two major things I know for sure I’m missing are the intro to the game, and the video that plays after the “For the Win” question when you choose that player answered correctly. I’ve tried a couple of different DVD ripping tools and the intro showed up on one of them, but the audio would gradually fall out of sync when exporting any of the clips on that particular piece of software. I suppose I could just screen record those two clips, and that’s probably what I’ll end up doing. I think I’ve gotten 99% of what’s on the DVD successfully exported as mkvs. I’m just not 100% certain of the quality of everything I’ve ripped so far because I’m kinda figuring things out as I go haha

Star Wars Trivial Pursuit: Saga Edition DVD
Time

I recently bought the Star Wars Trivial Pursuit: Saga Edition DVD game (2005) to play with some friends online via screen-sharing & Tabletop Simulator, and it works fine but there are some quality of life features that would make it a bit better. The DVD won’t let you play all 600 video questions in a random order - instead you have to play from one of the 20 preset games which each include 30 questions in the same order. My thought was to separate every single clip on the two DVDs into individual files so they could be selected randomly in a new application built for the game, or just directly out of a folder. I’m also interested in doing this purely for the sake of preservation/accessibility as well. I’ve made some cracks at it with varying degrees of success, but a couple of the clips don’t seem to show up when I rip the DVD, and it seems like I’m having some issues with AV sync and variable framerates. I’m very much a noob at video work, so would anyone be interested in helping out with this project?

I’ve also had the idea of doing a fan edit to add in questions from the Sequel Trilogy and spin-off movies to make the game have even more replayability! I’d love to collaborate on that as well 😃
