I am very appreciative or your suggestions, and will certainly give them a try...
That said, I have a few related questions (and, as is probably obvious) I am no video jockey, so be gentle <g>:
I have a DVD (it happens to be of a TV show) and want to edit one of the episodes very modestly then putting the result on another DVD. The modification consists only of removing the first 2 minutes, and last two minutes, of the episode.
What software might you suggest to do that sort of simple edit?
Is there something in Nero 7 Ultra that will do the deed?
My plan was to start with the original DVD, from it, generate a file of that episode minus the two pieces. And then burn the file to another DVD.
Is that the right approach? And, if so, what sort of format is best for the intermediate file? I had arbitrarily chosen AVI for my initial experiments with this process, and that was the source of the synchronization difficulty that I described in my original post.
DVD Shrink
http://www.mrbass.org/dvdshrink/ Download, install and run.
'Open Files' choose the folder with the DVD files.
Click 'Re-author'
Drag 'title 1' from right to left side of panel.
Click on the 'Start/End Frames' logo (two arrows pointing each way).
Edit the movie.
Click 'Backup!'
Output to a new folder and burn with 'IMG Burn'.
If you wish a menu you can bring the VOB files into Nero Vision and burn it that way.
