377040 2005-07-31 07:27:00 What software do I need and how do I go about editing home dvds. I have a few home movies and the odd documentary off the tele on dvd - recorded on my DSE dvd recorder. They consist of a series of .VOB files. I can play them on the PC with PowerDVD but I want to edit out bits that I don't want (like tv ads). I have got PowerDirector but it doesn't seem to want to import the files (just locks up). I tried VirtualDub but it seems to only copy the file or make a 12 minute video into a 22 Gb .avi file that runs at about 1/100th full speed!
Can anyone give me a few hints on how to do what I want to achieve? I am NOT interested in copying copyright dvds, just editing legit homemade stuff.
Ta,
andy

Probably borderline, delete if necessary

[edit: as per your above statement, it was over the line as it was a guide that specifically showed how to crack and rip a commerical movie which is against the law]

377046 2005-07-31 23:13:00 Thanks everyone. I'll try the suggested fora and see how I get on. I can understand the rulings on copyright violation discussions, but surely it is okay to edit homemade dvds isn't it? andy (473)
377047 2005-07-31 23:33:00 Yup nothing wrong with editing homemade ones. I do it here with Nero. Speedy Gonzales (78)
