I am struggling with some technical issues that I've not gotten much help for and I suspect that this task is one that many faculty need to accomplish, so I appeal to you.
I have a faculty member teaching a film course who would like to create a file of DVD clips necessary for his course so that he need not juggle and queue tens of discs. This is a face to face class. I know how to rip and entire chapter or DVD using Handbrake, etc. But those are much larger chunks and that can be complex sometimes. I'm looking for a simple, preferably low cost way for him to capture some MP4s of various scenes and string them together (iMovie?) for his purposes. Currently, what is the best way you know to do this? By "Best" I mean: cheapest, fastest and easiest! I'd like to advise him and I'm just not adept at it.
