Of course, I could be very wrong but as I don't see a third drive here it looks like you're doing a final save directly to your optical drive from your C drive (system drive). And presumably this was only after you had decrypted the DVD, copied the needed files from it to the C drive, made and saved any desired changes to the files, created other necessary files and folders, encapsulated those files in an MKV, ISO, MP4 or other container format to then burn that container to a blank DVD. Sounds like I'm experienced at doing this; just the opposite.Please read what it says: Please select the destination directory.
Of course you can select another drive.
Sorry - it seems you don't try on your own and that's what you should do and try.Of course, I could be very wrong but as I don't see a third drive here it looks like you're doing a final save directly to your optical drive from your C drive (system drive).

My point is that because I only see three drives here-and one is an optical drive-I don't see how a ripped DVD can be edited and the changes saved to anything but the system drive before the changes are all finally saved to a blank DVD. What I want is to rip the DVD, copy its entire-or at least most of-its contents to an HDD storage drive (the third drive), do all editing and saving and on that drive and then put the folders into a desired container (probably MKV) and then burn it to a DVD. Is this exactly what Any DVD HD and Clone BD and Clone DVD allows me to do?
I didn't try it on my own because I've yet to buy the software. Should I first buy something (that's not especially inexpensive either) only to find it out later that it can't do what I want?Sorry - it seems you don't try on your own and that's what you should do and try.
You are not doing any research. There are trial versions of Redfox softwares. Now try it for yourself and don't ask anymore. You are much too passive. Babysitting comes to mind but I don't want to be too harsh.I didn't try it on my own because I've yet to buy the software.

True, I keep forgetting about the free trials. Thanks.You are not doing any research. There are trial versions of Redfox softwares. Now try it for yourself and don't ask anymore. You are much too passive. Babysitting comes to mind but I don't want to be too harsh.
It was just an idea I got when reading your post, I never tried it and have no clue if it would work.Seems like a lot of work; good thing I don't have many DVD movies with objectionable scenes to delete. Question: When using Any DVD to copy the disc, can I copy it to my PC's HDD storage drive or must I copy it to the SDD system drive? I'd rather spare the SDD if possible as unlike the HDD it has a limited number of rewrites.
. I'm not sure if those understand my concern. Since, of course, Windows is on the system drive I try to write to it as little as I can to both maximize the life of the SSD and to prolong the time before Windows gets filled with temp files and lots of other junk which-unlike an HDD-you can't delete AND reclaim the space, even if you have a 1 or 2 TB system SDD-and may have to be reinstalled. And then using something like defragmenting software to more reposition file data for faster file access would be totally counterproductive as using such software would literally and permanently consume SDD space.It was just an idea I got when reading your post, I never tried it and have no clue if it would work.
Other than that, you can copy it anywhere you want.........
Okay, I'm just so behind with stuff before I can do so. Meanwhile, how can I show off my hardware list like you do at the bottom of your replies?You can. BTW- you are too "paranoid". This is very easy. Install the trials and check it.

That's why I had asked if after you decrypt the DVD or BD, instead of copying its files to the Window system SSD to view and cut out the undesirable scenes-if I could copy them to an HDD "editing" (not permanent storage) drive, then use the editing software (stored on the system SDD, of course) to access the HDD, make the changes to the files, save them and then eventually burn the changes from the HDD to a blank DVD using Clone DVD. Can I do all of this as explained, or must all of the editing be done on the system SSD drive?
Okay, AnyDVD trial installed. I right clicked on the Fox but nothing about ripping the DVD is shown. So I clicked on Open, clicked Video HD DVD and in the box saying "Directory to storage script files" I selected my E:\ drive, which is my storage (not system) SSD. Now what happens if I click OK?Sorry - it seems you don't try on your own and that's what you should do and try.
First of all, that is just a setting for HD DVD and has nothing to do with ripping or nornal DVDs. You have to select rip to .iso or rip to harddrive.So I clicked on Open, clicked Video HD DVD and in the box saying "Directory to storage script files"
