847495 2010-01-10 05:17:00 Hi there

A few months back we had our family videos tapes transferred commercially to DVD, all went well.

But I like to edit/copy parts out of them and take snapshots within the DVD so Im looking for some software to do the job. The DVDs are in the usual format (VOB, IFO files etc).

Ive installed an run CDVD to view the files, which seems to work OK, but I cant get the Snap Image to work, but it has no editing or snap image facility.

Thanks in anticipation.

John in Mosgiel.

Will Windows Movie Maker open/edit VOB IFO files? I tried opening any file in the DVD, no go, says it cannot open VOB files.

Handbrake will do it, as will a sqillion others, and then you can edit the resulting AVI.

Having said that you could also just copy teh VOB files to your PC and then convert them to AVI or edit them with a suitable app, VOB files are merely MPG's.

847500 2010-01-10 07:44:00 OK, hers whats happened .

In a section of the Family Video VOB1 file, someone has included a TV program which I want to Delete/Cut/Remove .

I have AVS4You Converter, which happily opens the VOB file and when I click on the Edit button, I get another editing screen . Ive set the Front and End markers on the part I want removed, but I cant go any further .

I tried everything I can think of, right clicking etc but nowhere can I cut/remove the offending section .

Assistance appreciated .

:-)

John .

847502 2010-01-10 22:05:00 Thanks for the tip. I was kind of hoping for a Freeware program, being unemployed at present, I cant afford the $60US they want. Nothing I can find on P2P either. John W (523)
