Here's what I'm trying to do:
1) Rip a DVD
2) Edit out a portion of the movie. (For instance, delete a 60-second portion of a 2-hour movie)
3) Burn the edited movie to disc, while retaining all the original menus.
I was hoping I could use Nero Recode 2 to do this, but so far I haven't had any luck.
If I use its "Recode an Entire DVD to DVD" function, then I can keep the original contents of the disc including the menus, but I can't make any edits to the movie. (There IS a "Disable" function in that mode, but that's only if you want to disable an entire title. It doesn't help you if you want to actually edit out a few seconds but otherwise leave the title intact).
If I use its "Remake a DVD" function, then I have the ability to remove bits out of the movie that I want to discard using the "Start/End" button (as Pete helpfully described in this thread: http://tinyurl.com/d35jq). However, I lose all my menus that way. If I try to put the menus on the disc using the "Import Titles" button, then once the disc is burned, they simply become video clips and lose their functionality as menus (i.e. you can't interact with them)
So, is there any way to do what I want - edit out bits of a movie AND keep the original menus with all their functionality? If Nero Recode 2 can't do it (and I already know DVD Shrink can't do it either), then what programs can?
I use recode to edit and i just recently had success creating a new menu using Nerovision Express 3...Ulead Movie Factory is good also....but if you already have NVE3 then there is no sense in paying for a product that would do the same thing
