I'm brand new so I appologize if I'm on the wrong forum. Here's what I want to do: I tape a tv show onto a vhs tape. I then record it onto a dvd-rw using my Liteon vhs/dvd recorder attached to the tv. (My Liteon recorder has an issue with volume, so I tape on a different VHS recorder first and then copy it onto dvd.) I use Roxio on my computer to edit that dvd to take out the commercials, overun, etc. Now, I want to burn it to a new DVD to keep. The size is so large, I have to use a very low quality. Upon reading this forum, I came across DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink, so I have those two programs, also. I guess my question is, how can I burn my edited version from the computer onto a DVD and not lose quality? Thanks!

Well VHS tape isn't helping, and re-encoding and then Shrinking isn't either. I understand that you have issues with volume, but if I was doing this I'd still use the DVD recorder and then fix the volume later on if need be.
The VOB files that your recorder makes can be opened, edited and then authored for DVD by a program called TMPGEnc DVD Author. Far better than Roxio, and you wont have to run it through Shrink when you're done.

I'm trying to make do with the programs I already own, and Roxio is one of them. I don't really want to purchase another program at this time. I see that TMPGEnc is shareware, but what is the cost?

I also have several DVD's I made already, but wanted to edit out the commercials and burn new ones. I was really hoping someone was going to say this would be easy to do. Oh well--I have an answer, just not what I wanted. Thanks for the response!
