Hi to whom it may concern,
I have questions to ask.
Is there a software that allows you to
edit DVD videos??
For example, let's say I recorded a satellite TV
show with a DVD recorder. Like a VHS cassette recorder.
Once I done recorded the TV show straight on, from the
beginning to the end onto a DVD, but it has all of the
TV commercial during the hour of the TV show.
My question for you, is there a software that would allow
me to back up the DVD of a TV show that I recorded,
into my PC, and to be able to select scenes, like TV
commercials, and to edit them out and just keep the
TV show onto a DVD?
Most DVD recorder does NOT have the type of editing
that I'm looking for. Except it only let you to edit
titles for video segment(s)
Any suggestions that you might have, would be great to
know how.
Thank you.
Regards,
Eugene

Simple and cheap.
Rip the DVD to the hard drive.
Run DVD Shrink, click 'Open Files' and load the video from the folder that it was ripped to.
Click 'Re Author'
On the right hand panel, drag 'Title 1' from right to left panel.
Click the 'Start end Frames' symbol (looks like two arrows pointing different ways).
A new window opens up.
Set the start and end points where you want to keep the clip.
An example is where the video begins with a commercial; you want the start frame to be where the commercial fades then end where the movie fades to the next commercial.
Click 'OK', that part is now saved.
Drag 'Title 1' from right to left again and repeat the procedure multiple times until you have all the clips you need.
Each time that 'Title 1' is dragged to the left, Shrink appends a number to it to distinguish it from the re-authored clip.
Click 'Backup' and either save or burn the compilation.
You will have a new movie with all the clips seamlessly joined automatically.
Edited for clarity.

Hi Attar,
Thank you for your quick response.
In fact I do have DVD Shrink for 5 or 6 years
now, but I didn't know it can do MORE than I thought.
I thought it allows you to JUST backup copy and use
"Author" for JUST an individual movie.
I didn't know that it can allow you to edit.
I'll have to try. I'll let you know.
Thanks,
Eugene

Hi Attar,
Need help!!!!
Okay, here what I've done so far.
On the 1 hour TV show, I was able to
start the show and end right before the
first commercial comes up. That's Title 1.
How do I do the next one??? Like create Title 2
and on. There are lots of commercial spots in
a 1 hour TV show.
And Shrink won't allow me to change the number
of the chapter in the box.
How do I divided segmants???
I tried doing the samething as for the next
title, but I may have screwed up.
I dragged the whole movie again, like I did
for the firt title 1. And when I was ready
to set the beggining and the end of the second
segmant of the show, it still says Chapter 1.
Title 1 (2) And when I finished I looked at it
and it showed the very beginning of the show!!
I alreday did that on the first title.
What did I do wrong? Or maybe you haven't givin
me further instruction when it comes to doing
segmants of TV shows with bunch of commercial spots.
My gues is there are probably 5 or 6 commercial breaks
in the 1 hour show. Like "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on ABC.
Hope you can help me how to create more titles.
I know how for the first title. Title 1.
Thanks,
Eugene

Hi Attar,
It's Eugene, again.
I tried it again for the 3rd time.
It worked this time.
I don't know why my first try in creating
title 2 and 3 failed. Maybe it was new with
shrink??? But at the third round, then I was
able to create title 2 and 3.
Hope it works for the next tv shows.
I'll keep you inform. But if you have
any additional info, please do let me know.
Thanks again.
Eugene

Glad you figured it out.
Basically you are selecting a clip from the same title over and over again.
Shrink simply appends and increments a number to each new clip that you select from the title.
The main title (usually 1) is always the largest file.
Commercial movies often have extra titles (coming attractions, trailers) but they are fractions of the size of the main movie.

Hey Attar,
Thanks!! You're GREAT!!!
I was able to assemble 6 segmants of 1 hour TV show.
There were 6 commercial breaks that I have to devided.
And I was able to put the TV show onto a DVD and it's
45 or 48 minute without 6 commercial breaks.
Looks like a pro!!!
When I mentioned that I failed at the first try.
I ment to say that MAYBE Windows 98SE just doens't
know that Shrink can do it. It gave an error curruption.
So at the second and third try, Windows 98SE seems to
accept it. I hope it stays that way. But I do have
a laptop with Windows XP Pro that might accept what
Shrink can do.
In the meantime, you're great!!!
Thanks!!

Hey Attar,
Gues what??? I discovered that Shrink can also allow
you to edit DVD video from 2 DVDs once if backed up
into the computer. You can brows the folders for 2
of DVD movies and able to combine them into one DVD!!!
Say the first DVD movie is in "Movie 1" folder in the
hard drive, and you would have to brows it for VIDEO_TS
from that Movie 1 folder. And drage the titles from it
into the editing line up. Then if you want to, to find
other scene from another DVD movie, which you could back
it up in "Movie 2" folder. Find VIDEO_TS and find the title
you would like to include with the other title from the first
DVD movie. Once done making selections, you can burn it into
one whole DVD!!!! My brain told me so. : - ))
Hey, I have a question for you Attar.
Do you know any DVD software that would allow me to
take a still picture out of a DVD movie frame??
I hate to drag my stand alone DVD player, hook it up
to the computer, capture the scene I want from a DVD
into the computer, and from there I had to pick out
a frame from that scene. Sometime it doesn't always
look good from capturing videos into the computer to
make out of a still fram picture.
Is there a software that allows you to take picture
of the frame of the scene from a DVD?? IF you known,
how to do it??
Once again, you're great, Attar.
I think people should continue using DVD Shrink for
DVD editing. Unless they don't know and only knows
copy DVDs. I'm gonnna keep DVD shrink since 2002.
Hope you can help with infos on taking still pics
from a DVD video.
Thanks,
Eugene

Any software player will let you take a still picture of what is on the screen.

Hey, thanks for this thread as it has helped me as well. I have one question though: I went through and edited out the commercials and other crap from my DVD, in which I ended up creating 3 titles in the left pane. Whats weird is that after burning the disc and then opening it in shrink, it has Titles 2 and 3 in the "main movie" section and Title 1 under the "extra" section. The original disc had only one Title. I understand that the video has been split up due to my editing so I expect more Titles, but why does it place Title 1 under the extra section? The finished product plays fine as I can pop it in and it plays as one continuous video all the way through. Thanks for your help :)

I seen that too and wondered if it was unique to DVD Shrink, but I never followed up.

It appears as though it places the large sections under main movie and the smaller parts in the extras.
