I've trawled around various forums, read several guides and done a number of searches which come close to finding me an answer to this, but not quite close enough for this Newbie, hence this post!
I want to create a series of 1-2 minute "Best of" clips from a TV series I have on DVD. I've used DVD Shrink and DVD2AVI to create perfectly good .d2v and .wav files but am suffering big problems matching them up in TMPGEnc. I suspect it's due to there being not a continuous movie but several episodes with credits in between etc. with the audio file simply carrying on and not stopping between shows (if you see what I mean) when TMPGEnc's making the MPEG. Of course, I could be well off the mark here!
As all I'm actually after is a series of short clips, what I'd like to do is cue up the video and audio files, specify a timespan to record for and then do so, thus matching up audio and video. That would probably be easy enough if only TMPGEnc would let me listen to the audio file so I get it in the right place instead of simply giving me a (virtually meaningless) waveform to look at!!!
Can I achieve what I want using TMPGEnc or do I need a different piece of software to achieve it? If so, which? I may well later want to burn these clips onto a DVD (complete with index pictures) so I can play it on a normal, standalone DVD player. Nero seems to be the software of choice for this, although I haven't used it myself yet. Any comments on this thought? And if you think this is the wrong Forum to post this on, please advise me where would be better (multiple postings being frowned upon!!)
Many thanks in advance...
