I would like some help editing a DVD there is some stuff I would like to cut out. I have Nero recode, DVD2one, decrypter and DVD shrink. I dont know how to use any of these for what I want to do, I am not very savvy with all this so could you "walk me through process" slowly, thanks.
You can cut scenes off the dvd keeping everything else (menus, extras, etc) with DvdReMake easily. You simply find the end of needed scene in the preview. Right-click in preview and select "split here". Then scroll back to the start of the offending scene and right-click and "hide from here". It is gone and DVD will work just like it was before (just without that scene).
Thanks for that but thats a program I dont have, can I do it with any of the ones listed, if not where can I get DVDremake?
laurenzo With Shrink and Nero you can 'cut' out what you don't want by making it a still pic. I usually do this with the extras. Under the 'extras' click on a title then click on disable. You also have the option of previewing it to make sure it's the one you want. If you don't want still pics here's a link for dvdremake: http://www.filepedia.com/search/results.cfm Another popular one here is DVD RB and CCE. Here's a link for info: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/97052 spell edit
if you are backing up a dvd, use dvd decrypter to decrypt, then use dvd shrink to edit out what you want, then compress it, re-author it, then use your nero to copy, shink will use nero (as long as you select it to) and btw, is nero recode all you have or the full version? you can pm me for more info, but i am sure you will get lots of feed back in here alone hth.
I have full version of Nero I tried using nero recode but couldnt follow what was happening, I am a complete "DOPE" when it comes to this but I wont give in as long as someone keeps helping me.
I have backed up my DVD using decrypter, then I imported files to Shrink and got the following:Menus....Main Movie....Extras. There is a small screen on which I can watch DVD any clues what to do from here. I am gradually sneaking up on the "FIX" please dont give up on me.
hi if its start and end credits dvd shrink is the man! but for taking out middle bits say 11 of them i use another app, but you need to buy it
The best software I have found and use regularly to remove previews, unwanted extras, adverts, and trailers is DVDRemake as stated by dimad (who btw is the developer of the ptoggy). It is not free but completely removes the unwanted parts instead of replacing them with a still picture therefore you don't have to set through the still picture, fast forward through them or advance chapter. Well done dimad. Mort
@dimad, Since I complemented and bragged on your software, why don't ya give me a free upgrade to the pro vs? hehe
hi so dimad is the author, didnt know that... and is there a pro version then? and what extras do you get? as i may look into this app for testing...
Hi Rotary, Yeah it's an awsome program. I use it on almost every backup to remove previews, adverts, trailers, and any other extras I don't want keeping a functional menu, the movie of course, and any extras I want to keep. No annoying still pictures. You can also make parts of the menu inactive eg. if you removed all audio tracks except english then you can make language selection in the menu inactive. You can even remove any menus in languages that you don't want. Really slims and trims your video folder for less compression. Well worth the money. Mort
Rotary, I don't know about that. If it does I'm not aware of it. You could pm dimad to find out for sure.
@laurenzo after you get in the shrink portion, where it says "TITLE" select 1 and click to drag to the left side of the screen, reauthor it to, delete what you want, then click back up... heres a few helpful links, step by step, even with tweaks and settings, follow them, and you are on your way to happy burning !! http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/backup with Decrypter&Shrink.pdf http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/petesguide2.html http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/petesguide3.html better yet, here is pete's whole guide page !! http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/tutorial007.html
