I've read various "how to" Nero guides about cutting scenes form a dvd (one on my hard drive) and it sounded straight forward.

I used these-

I tried to do this(following the guides), but whenever I moved the scissors 'cut' slide rule for a film section some way into the film (40secs long) and clicked the 'scissor' button to end edit, it simply chopped off the first bit of the film instead of just the desired minute or so.

Is it awkward to use or explain?
