First you need to get the MPEG2 titles off the DVD disc, which can be done using DVD Decrypter in IFO mode and file-splitting set to 'None'. Then rename the .vob file extension to '.mpg'.

From there, import into a suitable editor. Having used most of these I agree with sikoone that VideoReDo is very good for editing; you could also try 'MPEG Video Wizard' (or its cheaper but equally functional companion 'MPEG2VCR').

Then you'll need an authoring application for burning this edited material to DVD, such as Ulead's 'DVD Movie Factory 4' (which has some editing capability built in). Other people might recomment TPMGEnc DVD Author; another all-in-one.

All these handle Dolby AC-3 audio without having to buy extra codecs, and have the benefit of keeping the MPEG2 video quality untouched from your original recording. They're also all available on a month's free trial (except DVD Decrypter which is free).
