I'm trying to cut out halftimes/ interviews/etc from some basketball DVD's I have and can't figure it out. I found the CUT part of CloneDVD2 but can only figure out how to cut the beginning or the end- not the middle. Is it possible using CloneDVD2 or one of the other programs available for the right price? Thanks
You can do it with either CloneDVD2 or Shrink.. Clone DVD2 will only cut at chapter points though Shrink you can cut anywhere you chose It is a little time consuming doing it with those, but it can be done. You have to set the start frame where you want it and then the end frame to the point where the comercial or whatever else it is you dont want. Then copy the portion you want to keep to your hard drive. Then repeat that until you have all the parts you want. Then you have to join them all back together again which can be done using Shrink in re-author mode. Now if you just want to do it all at once you can use Nero Vision Express and cut out the parts you dont want ;-) Cheers
If I saved the beginning and the end as two seperate ISO files, when I re-authored it would it become one title or would the disc have two titles?
It would have seperate titles but you wouldnt be able to tell the difference while it was playing. Rotary is right TMGenc will do it pretty easy infact. I forgot about that one.. Good one Rotary I wish VirtualDub supported VOB's because it would be the easiest way ;-)
I use virtualDub mainly to cut comercials out of my TV shows that I capture with my video card. It will convert just about all the AVI files out there. Well heck here is what the website says VirtualDub is a video capture/processing utility for 32-bit Windows platforms (95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP), licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It lacks the editing power of a general-purpose editor such as Adobe Premiere, but is streamlined for fast linear operations over video. It has batch-processing capabilities for processing large numbers of files and can be extended with third-party video filters. VirtualDub is mainly geared toward processing AVI files, although it can read (not write) MPEG-1 and also handle sets of BMP images. I basically started VirtualDub in college to do some quick capture-and-encoding that I wanted done; from there it's basically grown into a more general utility that can trim and clean up video before exporting to tape or processing with another program. I released it on the web and others found it useful, so I've been tinkering around with its code ever since. If you have the time, please download and enjoy.

Thanks for the help! I'll try VirtualDub (since it's free) first and then try the other stuff from there. I'm not going to be using it too much so don't want to spend too much.
