Need instuctions on how to make a compilation DVD !

[Pinky123]

I want to select certain scenes from various commercial dvd's and compile them into the order of my choice onto one dvd and create a 'best-of' dvd .... any advice ?

First you have to decrypt DVDs with software like DVDfab (there are others) and transfer it to your computer. From that copy, you need a smart-rendering editor that can handle MPEG. All we know about your computer is that it's an "HP". That doesn't tell us much about the software to recommend. But basically from that point you need something like SONY Movie Studio Platinum to cut and join MPEG segments, author the project to a new DVD, and burn it to disk (try the free ImgBurn).

You'll find a big list of video software and utilities along with some tutorials in the Videohelp Tools section: https://www.videohelp.com/software. You can get help with specific software issues in the forum, but taking you through the process step by step would take up about 500 forum posts. Look over some utilities and start there.

It may be necessary to re-encode DVD video and audio prior to editing if you are joining video segments from different DVD sources. To be joined, DVD video must have the same aspect ratio, frame rate and resolution. The audio must match too, same audio type, same sampling, same number of channels.

Once you have decrypted copies of the DVDs on your computer. Try TMPGenc Authoring Works to build your compilation. There's a free trial. It will allow you to understand the whole process but handle any frame rate, aspect ratio or audio mismatch issues for you. (Eventually you'll want to know how to do that all manually.)

DVDShrink doesn't care about your computer specs....DVDShrink is OLD and will probably not work with newer DVDs.

The X-Rated DVD's that I own have about 5 chaptes or scenes each . But I only want to extract 1 scene from each of them then recompile them onto a seperate DVD , so that I have a 'best-of' DVD .... any more advice on how to accomplish this , anybody > ?

Yes, but you're forcing it to do something it's not really designed for. You'll have to jump through a lot of hoops

I think the OP can actually use DVDShrink for what he´s intending to do. He can rip his DVDs using DVDFab HD Decrypter load them into DVDShrink (one at a time), use the Re-author feature to isolate the segments or scenes he wants (they probably have already Fade ins and Fade outs anyway) and keep adding more until he fills the DVD size, then save or burn.
