Software question

[thedregsofhumanity]

Hi,
I was looking for some help with what software to use. I just got a series on dvd but it has all the comercials in it. What I want to do is edit out the comercials and just have the show and re-burn them. Any help will be greatly appriciated.
Thanks,
Jerry

Some of the answer can depend on which DVD recorder made the discs. Can you tell what recorder made the discs?

The rule is Womble MPEG-VCR works great for anything under 2 hours (single video file, not full DVD length). Single videos longer than two hours, use Womble MPEG Video Wizard. For discs made on a Panasonic recorder, use MPEG Video Wizard and be sure to change the audio option to MP2 when saving (the Panasonic AC3 files are fubar for editing).

For decompiling the disc, use DVD Decrypter in IFO mode, be sure it's set in the options to extract to a single VOB file, do not break it up. By default, the software breaks at 1GB chunks.

Quite of bit of this info is found in guides at www.digitalFAQ.com

If you need help finding any of this software, PM me.

Just curious what is the difference/reasoning for using womble mpeg vid wizard for single videsos over 2hours?

Womble MPEG VCR sometimes loses audio sync past 2 hours on a single video.

LS is right, it happens. I use VideoRedo for the larger files.
