That is exactly what I was trying to do. I tried another poster's
suggestion and downloaded the app on the banner add (VideoReDo). It
works great. The only downside is that I can't import video into the
clip I'm editing and there are no transition effects, but the awesome
thing about it is that it does not re-render the file. Therefor, it is
FAST. I still plan on editing my own video by using Premiere, and AVI
format.
Thanks for the help guys.
p.s. Now that I have edited the VOBs, what is the best simple app
(freeware) to just allow you to create IFO files so that I can burn
these VOBs right back onto a DVD. I don't need a fancy menu at all,
just something that will thread the VOBs in order. I don't want an app
that will try to re-render the files. I had to re-name them mpg so that
VideoReDo would accept them. It is still a mpeg-2 with a ac3 audio
track multiplexed into it. So, I guess that all I should have to do is
re-name them VOB.
I could try to use the IFO files from the original DVD, but I'm afraid
since the DVD have been edited that would not work.
Thanks again.
