What a great forum. I'm looking for your very excellent suggestions regarding the best ways YOU have found to cut short scenes from the middle of a DVD movie.
This is not the same as cutting from either end to shorten the file - there is lots out there about that already! No, all I want to do is remove the odd (objectionable perhaps) segment from some movies I own, to make them more 'family' for instance. What bits there are about this already are somewhat confusing to me.
I know how to get the DVD files to the hard drive. At this time, I am extracting with DVDShrink to create VOB files. I thought I might then convert VOB to AVI (MPEG4-2) so any editor could load the movie. So far I have tried editing the scenes out with Virtual Dub 1.5.6, and that works really great - I can delete segments between key frames.I like Virtual Dub a lot, it is easy to understand. Then hopefully I will be able to write this back to DVDR with acceptable loss.
I am sure that my proposed method is all wrong, and so I completely open to try anything simpler or better that you suggest. Please please don't make any suggestions that you have not actually worked out and tested to completion - this is tough enough as it is when you are starting from scratch like me. Please include exact versions of programs, assume nothing.
From reading around, I see there really is a need to clarify this very basic process, and this thread could benefit many people like me who just want to cut a scene or two from ripped VOB files.
Thanks!
Looking forward to hear what you have to suggest.

Didn't mention that Womble Mpeg-vcr lets me cut from the middle of a VOB just like I want although it is hard to get to the right frame, but the result is not writable back to DVD. Not sure what to do about that at this point. If I could write or process that, it would solve the problem.
