cutting one large scene

[voodoochili]

Hi all, I got a home movie that was burned to dvd, its one whole scene, ive got it out of the vob format to i guess raw mpeg2, what program can i use to break it down and just make the scenes the lenght I want. thanks in advance.

Mpeg2Schnitt works quite well if it accepts the file. It is sometimes picky with regards to what mpegs it will take. Are the audio and video separate (elementary streams) or is it sound and video in one file (program stream) ?

thats a good question, how do i tell hhehe

If it's one video file you click on that also contains the sound, its a program stream. TMPGEnc's cut function works well in this case.

If the video file plays without sound and theres a separate sound file, you can cut this using Mpeg2Schnitt. When there's a separate audio file and video file, for example, Video.m2v and Video.ac3, those would be called elementary streams. Mpeg2schnitt cuts these nicely and you can add them separately.

I got this silly file stuck in nero format or winamp format , but i think one time i was messing wtih it and it was only video, i'll see if that program will re rip it and seperate it. /shrug hehe

If you can't get Mpeg2Schnitt to accept the file, try cuttermaran. Its basically the same, only you have to download tmpgenc too.
