I was so happy to find DVDxDV. I had used a Sony product to burn my 8mm home videos to DVD with the intention of using some of the movies on my computer. However, my own videos were 'locked' and I could not access them.
DVDxDV allowed me to easily grab portions of my video for use in my computer projects.
This was invaluable because the other option would have been to rip the entire DVD to my computer. I did not want that. I wanted to pick and choose what I transferred to my computer.
Excellent product and easy to use. I just opened it and got working.
