    Hi:

    I'm not sure I'm in the correct forum.... If not please point me to the correct one....


    I've got a DVD that I need to edit to remove long blank leaders and then convert to a WMV file for posting on a website. The DVD contains closed captions which I need to keep during the editing and conversion.

    I've done some trivial video editing in the past, but, nothing that contains closed captions.

    I really need some help with this...

    How do convert the DVD to an AVI file for editing and keep the closed captioning?
    Assuming this is possible how do I then convert the edited AVI file to a WMV file and still keep the closed captions?

    Tx
    Any help is definitely appreciated.

    You can't make a avi or wmv with closed captions but you can make it with permanent subtitles.

    I think AutoGK can convert to an avi divx/xvid from closed captions. If not then you can rip the closed captions from the dvd using vsrip and then add it in AutoGK(hit CTRL-F8 to load external subtitles).

    Then convert/edit the avi divx/xvid with subtitles in for example windows movie maker and convert to wmv.
