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). |
OK. I ripped my DVD using Decryptor. I edited using VideoRedo, worked great. But so far, I did not have to rename the files, .vob worked finr for Decryptor and ReDo.
Now, looks like I need to buy another program to burn the new .vob to a DVD. I tried Magix Movie Pro, but I loose the sound when I import the file.(Note I can preview it fine,though). I am about to buy MovieFactory 4. Will it be able to read the .vob file directly, or will I need to rename it? Also, I am a little worried about all the negative reviews for MovieFactory. Any good words for me? Gosh, I am surprised by how much work this is, the amount of software you need, and the amount of problems everyone seems to have. I hope I don't buy all this stuff and then find out I am loosing video quality in the process
