  1. Does one of these exist yet? There are plenty of video editors, but I am still looking for one that lets you work directly with the VOB file. DVD Shrink is as close as I've found to one...

    TMPGEnc DVD Author will do it, but you can only cut/edit on I frames.
    You can't fool me, I'm a moron!

  3. Let me be more specific. I want to do the following:

    1. Edit out video and audio separatly without demuxing
    2. Keep the original DVD menu if I am editing a DVD backup

    As far as I know, this is not possible to do right now. I got a good guide a few months back about editing, but am just looking for new developments if there are any. I did find one obscure program a little bit ago called Moviemask Designer which lets you do the above -- it creates a mask file which when played on their specific player allows you edit pretty easily. Only problem (as stated) is that you have to play it on their specific player....

  5. I use Sonic Foundry Vegas Video 4 with the MainConcept MPEG-2 plugin.

    I convert the AC3 audio from the vob file/s using AC3 Decoder.

    Load both the Vob file (vegas will convert it to MPEG) then load the ac3 audio underneath it.

    Once you have loaded the movie and the audio into vegas, you can then crop the video and audio frame by frame as you wish. Add other clips or movies etc as vegas is multi track editor.

    then render the finished result to MPEG-DVD format for burning onto DVD

    This works great for me, I recently compiled a DVD of different film clips form multiple DVD's this way.

  6. Womble MPEG VCR will do what you want. It only works with each "logic frame," however, which means each time you get a full frame (I think that's a B-frame after a group of P-frames?). You can step through the MPEG-2 or MPEG-1 video one frame at a time with Womble MPEG VCR. You can cut and save to an MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 file. There is NO RECODING.
    Yeah, Womble costs $100, but it's worth it, because it's the only tool that does what it does. Every other tool everyone has mentioned requires recoding. TMPGEnc? It converts to AVI and recodes. Vegas Video? Converts to AVI and recodes. Adobe Premiere? Converts to AVI and recodes.
    Womble is the only piece of software that actually works directly with native MPEG-2 without recoding. It's a life-saver. That and ReJig and TMPGenc are the 3 tools I couldn't live without.

  7. Those are both great...thanks for the info...correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think you will be able to keep the original movie menu with either of those methods...also, I am concerned with keeping all the audio channels -- don't you have to output a separate stream for each channel when taking it from the VOB file?
