this is what i want to do: I want to take a homemade dvd, edited some video off of it, put in another dvd, do the same etc until finished project. I have been using shrink dvd for this purpose, but shrinkdvd will create titles for each segment I edit.

So i need something that will allow me to make a single movie title with chapters. I would like to add chapter breaks in the new video. What software will do this?

I have been using instant dvd or shrinkdvd to compress video, is there something better? (i have been happy with the results of instant copy, seems to have a little better quality to dvdshrink, but it might be my imagination.)

Here is the software I have access to. Premiere pro 7.x, vegas 4.x, dvdshrink 3.1, pennicle's instant copy, intervideo's dvdcopy, nero 6.x

what else do I need? It would be great if I could just splice these movie tracks together into a single vob or avi or something without demux'n it. (to avoid the sync issue.)

if it sounds like I know anything... it is a jedi mind trick... this is all somewhat new to me, basic explanation would be great!

Thanks,
