I have home videos that I burned to a DVD direct from my digital video camera to my stand alone DVD player/burner. I want to be able to edit them now and add chapters and the usual using Pinnacle Studio 9 (or I also have My DVD).
Is there a way to convert the video on the DVD back to a format where I can edit it in one of these applications. I figured I wanted to convert it back to AVI.

Your best bet would be to do your edits in AVISYNTH, then frameserve the final videos to a dedicated encoder.
But, you can also create an .AVI file (albeit, huge) by the same technique:
1) Run your .VOBs through DGDECODE to create a .D2V file.
2) Run this script (call it "MY_VIDS.AVS) through AVISYNTH:
Code:mpeg2source("C:\your file path")
4) Go FILE>Save AVI
The result will be a rather large .AVI file.ICBM target coordinates:
26° 14' 10.16"N -- 80° 16' 0.91"W -
Hi pateboy,
Welcome to the forums.
An alternative method - no better, no worse - is to load the VOBs into VirtualDubMod and then save to DV AVI using the (free) Panasonic DV Codec. DV AVI is good for editing.
If you don't have the latter, install it first - instructions to install are on the download site.
Note that DV AVI is approximately 13.5Gb per hour of footage.There is some corner of a foreign field that is forever England: Telstra Stadium, Sydney, 22/11/2003.
Carpe diem.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room. -

You can also try the following: Go to the Pinnacle site and upgrade(free)to Studio 9.43(current version), install the upgrade...if everything works as it´s supposed to(you know pinnacle products..)you´ll find a new option in the File/Edit/View menu(don ´t remember right away) that allows you to extract video files (as mpeg footage)out of DVD files, then edit it on Studio´s timeline as if you´d captured your video as mpeg. Finally proceed to author your video either with Studio9 or MyDVD
Good luck
