I want to edit out a section of a VOB that contains adverts for Alex Jones 911 road to tyranny. I have burned copys of the DVD but want to avoid projecting the idea of selling them, by removing the commercial section at the end of the last VOB. What can I use for editing Thanks
A good method not mentioned about is using vitualmod and vobedit together . I use virtualdub to create a script that load's the required vob's in the correct order . Open this with vitualdub , then simply scan forward to the first frame before the (non wanted item) . Open notepad , add this frame number . Now locate the last frame of this (non wanted item) , and add this to note pad . Save this as "CellTimes" . Use vobedit to demux the complete title set , 1 video stream , and one audio stream . This will depend also on what ifoedit will accept as in audio format ... I have alway's converted audio to ac3 using besweet , as this work's fine in ifoedit . Now open ifoedit , go to "author dvd" , load your m2v , load the audio , and now load that CellTimes.txt file . Choose a location for it to be writen too , and go . ----------------------------------------------------------- Using vobedit again , demux this new title via "cell id" , to a new folder . Delete the origianl title that ifoedit created after this is done . Locate the (non wanted item) , and delete it now . Create a new folder . Place first vob here , name it vts_01_001 Place second vob here , name it vts_01_002 So on .. Vob files after 009 name's become 010 , 011 , 012 , ect ... Open the vts_01_001 in vobedit Choose "edit" , then join vob cell's . Choose a new folder for it to be written too , and go . ---------------------------------------------------------- Close vobedit , open ifoedit . Go to folder where this new title was created , dont delete the vob's , but everything can go . In ifoedit , choose "create ifo's" . Load you first vob file , leave the setting's alone , and go . When completed , hit "get vts sectors" . You now have 4 item's in the above box , you will be checking the last 2 only . Check video info and audio info to see if they are correct . This gose for both video_ts , and vts_01_1.ifo . Those that need editing , just double click on them , make modification's . If this was video_ts , hit "save" now . You now need to repeat those same edit's in that last ifo , and again , when done , use "save" . ------------------------------------------------------------- This will now play in nero showtime . ------------------------------------------------------------ You can now burn this as is or reuse vobedit to demux into stream's , and import these into your favourite dvd editing suite . Enjoy . ----------------------------------------------------------- As for chopper xp , it is choppy . Sometime's it work's , and other time's it's like flogging a dead horse and wont do anything .
i've tried the method branstone posted a couple of times now but it never seperates the pieces where i place the start and end frame times, its always in part of a scene i want to keep...could there be something im missing that would case this?
