editing mpg?

[mvp]

i ripped a mpg off a DVD and its a menu video from a DVD menu. in the video theres thumbnail videos in the mpg (chapter scenes for the movie) i want to black out or remove the thumbnail or replace with a new thumbnail from the mpg. how would i do this? is there any program that will let you over lay mpgs with other mpgs?

You'll have to open up this in an NLE that accepts MPEG2 video, and that has multiple video tracks capability (AVID, Vegas, PremierePro, etc). Create a PIP (picture-in-picture) effect for EACH of the thumbnails (taken from the main MPEG movie) and render/export the whole thing out to a new MPEG (menu) file.

Yawn ... zzzz

Avisynth script's people ... simple stuff , and dosent cost somebody money

I do this all the time in conjuction with the gimp to produce pngs with alpha layer's ... sweet and simple .

Last time I had 12 motion thumbnails , for a chapter menu ... had to use avisource , as mpegsource has issue's past 8 thumbnails ... 8 an 11 stopped halfway .

Once the script is generated correctly , you can load it in vdub for a preview ... forward only ... do not go backwards .
When it's correct , close vdub , and fire up quenc , and encode to mpeg2 ... bbmpeg if you want too tweak the mpeg2 setting's a bit .
