Easy edit DVD video cutting out unwanted stuff without recompressing

[deadp0et]

Hello.

I need to edit a commercial DVD, cutting out several scenes from a movie to prune some stuff out.

Is there any easy way to do it without recompressing the movie? Could you point me to a good software to do it?

Thanks in advance and greetings from Italy.

Rip with dvdfab or anydvd. Edit with mpeg video wizard dvd.

Other good suggestions after decryption: TMPGEnc MPEG Editor and VideoReDo. They can pull content from the DvD and cut losslessly where you wish. (Not free though.)

Thanks!

I'll work on it on the weekend and let you know.

Cheers,

Hello everybody.

During the weekend, I did a quick overview using the first piece of software you pointed me to, the Mpeg Video Wizard DVD.

I did not have much time to explore it thoroughly, but from this first analysis I understood that I can losslessly edit the main movie of a commercial DVD BUT I have to lose the original DVD structure... which I don't want to.

Did I got it wrong? Is there a way to edit the movie keeping the original DVD structure (with original menus, bonus content, etc...)?

Thanks,
Davide

You say you're just cutting out scenes so I'd use VobBlanker for the job:

I find the guide somewhat confusing, but once you get into the Prev/Cut screen, it's pretty much self-explanatory. You'll keep everything (menus, extras, etc.), everything but what you cut out.
