Does anyone have any experience with the new DVD TV recorders like the Cyberhome 1600, Panasonic DMR-ES20S, etc, that records up to 6 hours on a DVD? What I am looking for is software that can read the DVD on my PC/Plextor 716UF, rip and edit it and create a new DVD with something like NERO. For example, record 2 football games (up to 6 hrs) on the Cyberhome 1600 move to PC, rip into 2 separate football games and burn EACH to a individual DVD for playing on a STD DVD TV player. Thanks
Well what you will need is a Native Mpeg editor so you can edit the Files on the DVD.... You will also need a Good DVD authoring Program and NOT Nero because it doesn"t Support the DVD Format used in 6 Hour DVD"s (SIF/CIF DVD Standard) so it will re-encode the Files which will totally Ruin the Quality...... What I suggest is to Rip the DVD to your HD as a Single Big VOB/VRO File useing "Smartripper" but go into the settings and set the "File Splitting" to "Max file Size" and then set the Max File size to "9000mb" which will make it so the DVD Gets Ripped as a Single Big VOB/VRO file..... After ripping the DVD as a Big VOB or VRO file you use a Native Mpeg editor Like "Womble Mpeg2VCR" to cut the File into 2 seperate Parts (The 2 Footbal Games) and then the editor will save the Files in Mpeg-2 format with no Quality Loss..... Then you use a DVD authoring Program Like "Tmpgenc DVD author" or "MediaChance DVDLab Pro" to author the 2 Files to seperate DVD"s... It actually would be Better if you Put Both Football Games on the Same DVD but Make a Main Menu were you can select which Game you want to watch and you can also add Chapters and Scene selections Like retail DVD"s have and this way you don"t have to waste 2 DVD"s for One DVD"s worth of Video..... Cheers
