  1. I am trying to make a DVD specifically of the best parts of some movies so I can watch it when I'm bored and etc. The problem is, I can't find out how to copy ONLY certain parts of the movie.

    Like if movie is 2:00:00 long, and I just want 00:01:49 - 00:05:26

    how would I go about doing that? I don't want to have to rip an entire movie, just to get the scenes I want.

    If anyone can help with this PLEASE notify me ASAP. I need to make a short film for an event using this method, and can't seem to figure it out, other than encode full movies then copy pieces I want.

    I know you can probably extract certain preset scenes, but they are not cut where I need them to be cut.

    ANY advice would be appreciated. thanks.

    I've done it two ways - either use ChopperXP to cut the vob down to what you need, and save as a new vob, and import into your authoring software,

    or

    use DVD Shrink in Reauthor mode, use the Start/End functions to cut down to the scene you want, save as a new vob, import into authoring software.

    If you know which chapter the required scene is on, then you can rip that chapter only with DVD Decrypter and then use something like Womble or V-Dub to save the bit you want.

  6. well.... so far this is what I managed....

    I installed AnyDVD, ChopperXP, and DVD Shrink.

    The problem starts here:

    The DVD itself has scenes chopped up in the table of contents for you
    to skip around chapters. The movie is 5 scenes, but has about 25 chapters within those 5 scenes.

    What I've done:

    I used DVD Shrink to rip the scene I wanted out completely, but it put the file instead of 1 VOB, as 4 VOB files, 2 being duplicates.

    for example:
    Movie1_1.vob
    Movie1_2vob
    Movie2_1.vob
    Movie2_2.vob

    When ripping it showed movie1 and movie2 so i selected both, because I thought they were the seperate interlace lines of the video or something that show asyncronically or something. I am guessing I am correct, but if anyone knows please help out.

    Anyways, after that I looked at them in ChopperXP to see how I could edit it, but instead of letting me open all at once, I can only open 1 file at a time. The problem is, I need the full scene to be as 1 file instead of 2 pieces, also I need to know if I need to rip from both selections of the movie (movie 1 and 2 which seem the same) or what.

    I apologize if this is confusing, but I'm tired, have a headache, and really just want to figure this out. By the way, thanks to everyone who replied and gave insight, more help is definately welcomed.
