Just bought a full season a TV program and every time I put a DVD in a stupid movie company clip starts then a menu comes up I have to select play episodes or special features. So I click play episodes & now the menu for that particular episode comes up, you know chapters, bla, bla , bla. Would like to re-record my DVD episodes, cutting out the opening & closing credits and just have that on the DVD, so when I put it in all I have to do is select the episode & play without all this annoying browsing & junk.
I am looking for good free software that will allow me to do this; I don't want to make a DivX movie because my DVD player won't play them.
DVDs are better quality than video tape but I sure miss being able to pop the tape in & fast forwarding to what I want to see (no animations, menus or submenus) I'm guessing BlueRay operates the same annoying way.
You guys (MRG) came through great for me last time when I was looking for a FLV converter (http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=53323&hl=) so I'm asking for help again.
Thanks in advance,

Full Version: DVD editing software
Don't think there is any good, free software since most things along this line are also done for people who rip episodes and movies from DVDs to upload online. And on that end, file type, or quality usually isn't of big importance, since anyone who would download, then burn to a DVD to watch on their own, would probably be using stolen software to do it. But again, I'm not too aware of what's out there.
Regardless, what you'll probably have to do is extract the episodes to one file type, then convert that file type to something your DVD player can use, then burn that filetype to another DVD and hope for the best.
The other option would be to just hook up a small computer with a DVD drive to your TV, and then play the files directly that way.

You're probably right, I found one but has to use the DivX codec, I know there must be something available for free (that doesn't put a watermark on it.
My DVD player is suppose to play AVI & MPGs.
