vob to avi to vob?

[lrfowler]

OK.....I started with two DVDs. I wanted to get bits and pieces from both DVDs. I used AVIsynth to change the Vobs to AVIs, so I could edit in Premiere.
I edited in Premiere and created several Microsoft AVIs (non-compressed?). My plans are now to create one big AVI, so I can use ProCoder to create the VObs. Do the subtitles come along for the ride?

??.....I'm learning all this as I progress. A better way to do this would be greatly appreciated!!!

So...........I.....have this DVD.............and I changed the VOB's..etc.......to AVI syth with MEGUi...........then spliced into Adobe Premiere........and made several AVIs..............THEN I assembled the AVIs together in Premiere...........My plan is to to get them back to a dvd..........making VOBs first.............BUT.......I was hoping I could bring the subtitles with this whole process....................I haven't made the new DVD to check whether the subtitles might still be there.............AND..........the PROPOSED one big AVI is now ....like 27 gig ...uncompressed!!!!....what is my next step???..........I'm thinking to make one big AVI......WITH COMPRESSION IN pREMIERE and then........use ProCoder to make VOB files AGAIN............any other better ideas ?..............

so it's like VOBs to AVIs (27 gig) to one big AVI (??gig) then to VOBs.........(does the captioning come with this whole process?)

thanks very much!!!:)

VOBs are basically MPEG-2 - you can edit them directly with something like Cuttermaran without re-encoding and losing any quality. The downside is that you can only "cut in" on I-frames, which are about 3 seconds apart.

Unless you convert the video to AVI and hardcode the subtitles onto the video first, the captioning will be lost.

Hi!I wanted to get bits and pieces from both DVDs.Use DVD Shrink in "Re-author" mode - no conversions, no loss of subtitles....
