I use handbrake. You can rip from DVD/BRD or you can encode from a certain time to a certain time. If you have chapters you can also encode certain chapters in mp4 or mkv format.

Ideally, your blu-ray ripping software ought to have an option to tag each episode. Which ripping software are you using?

I've got a bunch of blu-rays that I've ripped and I'd like to turn
them into
their respective episodes. What video editing tool would be
recommended?

Usually, handbrake (the rip software I use) will do that for me.
However, I have had a disc set or two where the video was stored as one "container" instead of separated by episodes (you could select episodes
from the CD player menu, but the physical data was not separate).

For those, I use either OpenShot or Shotcut. Each has a slightly
different user interface. Shotcut is the program I use to edit my own
videos because it will allow me to save them in 1020p on the machine I
have. OpenShot will also allow me to try, but my machine is not powerful enough to allow it to save above 720p. For most of the shows I have on
DVD, they were from the pre-HD period (some are black and white!) so
being able to save in 1020p is not necessary, and is sometimes even not preferred.

I like them both so I would suggest trying them both and see which one
you like. I am using them on linux machines so the Windows versions
might differ.

Makemkv. With Tanya the evil, each episode was a track, but with Berserk,
it's all one file.

Are there tutorials for either? I couldn't figure them out to save my life.
I looked at FAQs, but that's for advanced questions, not "How do I cut out videos"...

Yeah, I was going to say that I use Handbrake to encode DVDs for my
libary, and the DVDs with multiple episodes turn them into separate
chapters I can encode separately. Don't know if BluRay are different.

What do you mean by "episodes"? If they're TV shows, each episode should already be a separate video when you rip it.

I don't have a whole lot of experience with video cutting & such, but I've sometimes used a few tools to do that. Off the top of my head, Handbrake (a transcoder) can be given a start & end time in a video and will produce a video just from that range of time from the source video. And Handbrake is free.

I also use Makemkv to rip my blu-rays. With TV shows on blu-ray, typically each episode is a separate file. You shouldn't have to do any video splitting..

As I've stated, one of my dvd sets (Tanya the Evil) has separate files for
each episode. My other one (25 eps on 2 discs) has all of the episodes in
one file. I'll have to manually cut them out.

You didn't state that in the message I replied to. Only in a later message..

Re: Openshot and Shotcut

Are there tutorials for either? I couldn't figure them out to save my
life.
I looked at FAQs, but that's for advanced questions, not "How do I cut
out
videos"...

I found plenty of videos on YT to help guide me through anything I could
not figure out. IIRC, with either one, I do have to load the master
video each time I want to cut out an episode (or, with my own videos,
when I want to cut out a smaller portion to save). I found them to be
mostly intuitive for that task.

You load the master video into the timeline, choose the cut option (IIRC,
for both, that is an icon that looks like scissors), place the cursor at
the beginning of the episode, click to cut, and delete anything before the
cut that you don't want to be part of this video.

For the end of the episode, repeat the steps, placing the cursor at the
end of the episode. Then you save it.

Both of them have windows where you can play the video to find the point
where you want to start cutting.

Not necessarily. I have at least one set ("One Step Beyond") where I can choose to play separate episodes if I have the CD loaded into a player
but, when I went to rip the episodes they were all in one "container" so
I did need a video editor to separate them.

I have had a few where, oddly, an couple of episodes may be in the same container, too... i.e. there might be ten episodes on the disc, and the
player sees 10 but handbrake only sees 5.

They're on CD? Are they Video CDs? Interesting to hear of a show released that way, rather than on DVD or blu-ray. I'd heard of the Video CD format but have never seen anything officially released on Video CD where I am.

This is ending up being too complicated. I was hoping there would actually
be a tool to do this with minimal hands-on stuff. Something where I would enter the number of episodes, or an estimated run-time for each episode and merely move the cutting points. Not having to do it from scratch for 25 episodes... This is too much of a hassle to bother with. I'll have to
torrent the episodes and not feel bad since I own them :(

If the rip program couldn't determine where each episode started and
ended, there is not going to be another program that is likely to be able
to do so. It really isn't too difficult if you watch YT videos about
editing video using one of those programs. You can load the video and
then give it a time to go forward to (like the approx length of an
episode) to get you near the end of each one.

Thank you. I have a commercial version of VideoProc and that had some really intuitive cutting features that I didn't know of previously. I was able to make short work of the episodes.
