MPEG2 edit

[kippard]

I decrypted a disc with DVD Decrypter. I changed the .VOB extensions to .MPEG. I would like to chop some content out and losslessly join the remaining files into a single MPEG without reencoding. My thought was VirtualDub-MPEG, but this will only encode a .AVI file it seems. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks again,
kippard

Womble MPEG Video Wizard or video redo

Changing a VOB to a MPG by renaming is not often a good move. A VOB has a lot more that just a MPEG file and audio. It can have several different languages, subtitles and other formating included. A better way may be to use VOB2MPG and it can preserve some of those.

Why not use a program like DVD Shrink and save the whole file or what you want to DVD? Or if you want to save to MPEG, try VOB2MPG, then use a MPEG editor like MPEG-VCR or VideoReDo to edit out what you don't want.

Thanks for the input. I just don't want to recompress. I want the quality to remain what the decrypted files (.VOB or .MPEG) are. Thanks again.

If you demux the video from the VOBs correctly, and use one of the recommended mpeg editors then you won't have to re-encode (recompress, if you like) unless you make changes to the video itself (colour correction, overlays etc). There will some small re-encoding at the cut points unless you cut exactly on I-frames only. There is no way to avoid this, as mpeg2 was never designed for editing.

Leave them as vobs .
Strip elementary streams required .

End result = what you wanted ...

Keep as vob , or
Baldrick did a brief guide using bbmpeg to mux parts back together .

Here something I found out on the web , might be worthy of interest these things : http://www.glencliff.org/cmcquistion/btv/
