how to record a movie with open broadcaster
just connect dvd player to computer with a video capture device such as Diamond One Touch Video Capture 05-03-2014d1534
instead of using the software that came with the device you could use openbroadcaster. I found I have fewer issues with sound and audio when using open broadcaster
-on my hp desktop you probably need to restart the computer and do the recording fresh to avoid problems
-before using open broadcaster the 1st time, you will need to make sure that you have the proper driver for the video capture device installed.
--If using this with the easy grabber device, you need to install the driver before the first time

when using open broadcaster right click the source area and set the source to be video capture. In the properties set the device to be Conexant Polaris Video Capture; for the audio input device select "Use device audio" and make sure "Output to audio stream only" is selected. Then start the recording. The output file will probably be a flv file.
-If the video is not filling the record area properly, then right click the video source (you can do this while it is playing), hover over position/size, and select fit to screen size.
you can convert the flv file to an mp4 file using some free software
-you could use "Free FLV to MP4 Converter" downloaded from download.com or something
-you could also use "FLV extract", but this was giving me some trouble.
you can clip the final video to remove extra stuff at the end and the beginning using Windows Movie Maker (free)
-Note that I like to have about 10 seconds of the dvd menu after the movie credits just so I have a record of what the menu was like.
You can save the file in large and small file size formats to be used in different situations (with phone or computer)
