(Sorry for the crosspost - I think I posted this in the wrong forum earlier).

I have a few movies which would be great for my kids, except for a few brief scenes of things I don't want them to see (too scary, too violent, etc.)

I don't have any problem ripping the CD with DVD Decrypter or DVDFab Decrypter. Are there any tools that will let me take those ripped files and edit them? I'd probably only need to take a certain chapter and do something like "Copy everything from 0:00:00 to 0:24:30, then copy everything from 0:26:50 to 0:55:19", leaving out just a 2-minute chunk from the original. Then I'd like to burn everything back onto a DVD-R (including menus, chapters, special features, etc.) so that the resulting DVD-R is exactly like the original movie... but with those 2 minutes cut out.

I don't mind spending time learning the tools I need to - I just don't know what I need. Free tools would be great, but I'll spend a bit of money if I need to on this.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

You can cut out any part of the movie with DvdReMake keeping everything else (menus, etc). Just find in the preview the part you don't want to see, right click in preview and "split here". Then use "cut to/from here" to remove everything from the preview position to the start/end of the block.

Thanks, dimad. I've checked out the homepage of DVDReMake, and it looks like it might do what I want.

Can IFOEdit do anything like this as well? Free tools (even if they're complicated) are preferably to paying $40 for an easier-to-use tool...

Thanks again.

Thanks for the idea Rotary... but ouch, that $68 pricetag! Is TMPGEnc DVD Author a completely different package than the (free) TMPGEnc ?

DVD Shrink (free) can do this, I think you will have to use re-author mode and lose the menus.

hi

yes it is different infact i think there is 3 / 4 versions?

also DVD Shrink is good for start and end credits chopping, if you need to take out say 7 parts in side the film then it gets mad...

Yeah, I gave DVD Shrink a try yesterday. It did indeed trim the clips very nicely, but I did lose all the menus, so I couldn't really figure out how to get to some of the other content on the disc (like special features, subtitles, etc.)

Subtitles should be retained (if selected). If you want the extras just preview them in Shrink to get what you want and drag them over. They will play in the order you put them. I usually put those I want after the main feature.
regards
