Using freeware, a simple way is to open the ripped DVD folder with DVD Shrink - ('Open Files' and select the VIDEO_TS folder). Click 'Re-author'. Usually 'Title 1' has the longest duration - and that's the main movie. Drag Title 1 from the right pane to the left pane. Right click on it and 'Select start/end frames'. Choose the frames comprising the first clip that you want. Once more drag Title 1 from right to left and repeat the process. When ready, click 'Backup' and save the compilation to a new folder on the HDD. What you have now is a DVD with a bunch of separate titles. When played back there is a slight pause as one title ends and the next begins. You can burn the new VIDEO_TS folder to disk using ImgBurn.
thanks a lot.i used the backup function to compile the videos into a dvd but there was no option to select from a songlist. is there a way to create a menu?
If the new DVD is a collection of Titles with VOB files where each VOB is one song (VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_02_1.VOB, etc), use DVD Flick to make a new DVD with a Menu. Run DVD Flick and load each VOB, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_02_1.VOB (you may have to choose 'All Files' to see them). Make sure that under 'Project Settings' > 'Video' > 'Advanced' that 'Copy Mpeg2 files' is checked (else it will recode the whole movie). You can then opt to make a menu. I believe that DVD Styler also lets you create Menus - but I'm not familiar with it.
