I have several hours of home movies which I recorded to DVD+R from 8mm analog source. I used my Phillips DVD recorder which creates a basic AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folder structure on the resulting DVD.

I wanted to do some moreadvanced editing, cutting away unwanted sections and applying some transitions before re-encoding back to DVD compliant TS folders.

I used TMPGenc DVD Author to "rip" to MPG2 which I thought could be imported into Pinnacle Studio 7 for editing but apparently that's not the case. At least not with the "MPG2" that TPMGenc DVD Author produces. Is there any other program or tool that I can use to produce AVI files from these DVDs, either directly from the DVDs I've made on the Phillics or from the MPG2 I did with TMPGenc DVD Author so I can then open them in Studio 7 to edit them before reencoding them back to MPG2.

Those videos that I don't need any further editing with, work perfectly fine directly on TMPGenc DVD Author. I rip from the phillips recorded DVD into MPG2, produce chapters and menus and reencode to DVD TS folders and burn with NERO.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
