Video

Making "Backups" of DVDs for playing from hard disk.

You need to install the css (Content Scrambling System)

Best done from the vlc pages.

https://www.videolan.org/developers/libdvdcss.html

sudo apt install libdvd-pkg

sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg

This can be very complicated. Below is a possible solution if you can't install the above packages

sudo apt install libc-bin/focal libc6/focal libc6-dbg/focal locales/focal

Be WARNED: This will uninstall all kinds of things and can be risky.

Cutting Videos

This can be done on the command line with ffmpeg

Easier to get the appimage of LosslessCut.

Audio

Our favorite is Audacity

• Audacity

In KDE the default audio manager is Pulse.
