Need to cut small portions of DVD

[craigwojo]

I'm looking to rip/cut small portions out of some DVD's I have. Want to put together a DVD of the most funniest clips from comedies.
I would like to know if there is a program that you can just insert the DVD disc and cut the parts right from the disc itself, instead of ripping the whole DVD and then cut portions out.

If anyone knows, please reply.

Thank you,
Craig

You can do this with DVD Shrink and it's re-author feature. Drag/drop the parts you want to keep, then use the 'start/stop' command to select just the scence you want. There are guides to the left and at http://www.dvdshrink.info

I've been told my way is the LONG way but hey....I'll give it a shot. As long as the DVD's are not created in a Philips DVD Recorder this works for me.
Strip out the DVD parts that you want with DVDShrink in Re-author mode...place that (or those) .vob's in a folder.
Next DVD....same thing but use another folder.
And so on and so on.

Use the 30 trial of TMPGEnc DVD Author....load the individual .vob's into it...arrange them in the order you desire....follow the flow of events at the top of the screen to create your new DVD.
Just remember that "Add File" means adding .vob....when you need to add a new .vob....you need to hit Add New Track....THEN load the next .vob with "Add File".
Each .vob is a TRACK.
Anyone?....correct me if I'm wrong please...I'm somewhat of a newbie myself.

I don't get it, whats wrong then with dvd's recorded on a Philips dvd-recorder? Can't you read them on your PC? If so, you must finalize the disc first before you can use it on a PC.

This is MY problem(s) I'm having with DVDShrink, TMPGEnc DVD Author and my finalised Philips +R's.

I have the same problem. A reply says the solution does not work with DVDs from a Philips recorder - guess what recorder I have?

I have recorded DVDs on a Philips 880 recorder and want to edit the disks to remove the adverts (they can be 'hidden' by the recorder, but this is a bit clumsy). I bought DVD Movie Factory 2, but this will not handle the Dolby (AC3) sound files. Pinnacle tell me that none of their software allows editing of VOB files.

What is the simplest way to edit files on disk and rewrite the edited versions to the same or another disk? Will the DVD Shrink software do this with Philips disks or not (and why are Philips recorded disks differenmt?)?

I'd be grateful for any help.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have new information for this subject of taking parts of different DVD's and putting them all together on one DVD?

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you,

Use DVDShrink->Re-Author->Set Start-End Frames and put each clip into it's own folder named 'clip1','clip2',etc.
Then use Re-Author to load each clip then backup.

I managed to get round my original problem with TMPGEnc, which is a good program. The new version of DVD Movie Factory (Version 3) now also handles the problem OK.

The original problem was that the Dolby sound recorded by Philips and other Hi Fi DVD recorders (as AC3 files) disappeared when edited in Movie Factory - so selections from DVDs could be combined, but the sound was usually lost. Both TMPGEnc and DVD Movie Factory 3 are able to handle these AC3 files, so cutting and pasting sections from different DVDs is now possible.

TMPGEnc is a free trial program, so can be tried before you commit yourself. Movie Factory 3 is an easily available and cheap commercial program.
