I have searched the forum with no luck so I thought I would open a new topic (if this is answered elsewhere, please point me in the right direction).

I have a Toshiba TX20 Media Server that can take my home movies and burn them to a DVD. Now that I have my collection of DVDs, I need some very simple instructions from someone on how to do the following:

I want to compile a DVD that has all the family vacations on one DVD. To do this, I need to cut a section (or two) from about 10 DVDs and string them together, in order, to one DVD, using my PC and some type of (hopefully free) PC software.

Can anyone give me the steps to do this and the software I will need? Has anyone successfully done this? It would also be nice to add title pages such as Disneyworld or Six Flags or Trip to Grandmas.

Please help me and try not to leave anything to my imagination! Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

Here's how to do it free. Beware that there's a bit of a learning curve to all these programs, but they all work really well.
Get ReJig.
It will take the dvd, and rip it to separate audio and video tracks.
Alternatively, get PVAStrumento. It too, will rip the dvd to separate audio and video tracks (demux), and is a much better program, but a steeper learning curve too.
Get Cuttermaran.
It will cut whatever you want, wherever you want, and save the separate tracks, with a name you choose (so you can keep track of clip 1, clip 2, etc.)
Get GUIforDVDAuthor, or DVDAuthorGUI.
Both are user interfaces for a free authoring program.
These will take your clips, and allow you to add a very basic menu, to choose what clip to play.
Get ISOBuster (might be shareware, not sure).
It will create an .iso of your compiled DVD.
Get DVD Decrypter.
This will burn the .iso to a dvdr (amongst a multitude of other things it can do).
Get DVDShrink. If your compiled DVD is larger than 4.7gig, this will shrink it down, just enough, to fit on one dvdr.

Thanks, Rebootjim. I have not seen many of these programs mentioned in these forums so I have not tried them. I will give these a shot and see how it works! I'm sure I'll post questions later......

Isobuster is shareware ($29.95 registration) but trial version is a full one I think.

More info at http://www.isobuster.com

I logged in on March 1st 2005, and it's incredible to believe that in so short time I've learnt all that I know about DVDs from this forum...

ISOBuster is not shareware and I hate to buy something until I know it will work. Do you know of any other product that will create the .ISO file?

Thanks,

Jim
