How to Edit/Cut VOBs

[daveburns]

I have some VOBs with talking on the videos at the end that I want to edit out/cut. I have a tool to do the cutting, but it requires the frame count. Any idea where I can get a tool that I can play the VOB in to see what frame I want to stop at?

I think VirtualDubMod will do what you want to do.

Thanks ... tried it, but it won't handle vob files (seems it only handles mpeg1, not mpeg-2). Let me know if I'm missing something.

Well I just opened a vob file in VDubMOD< (the link I gave you).

You can try VobEdit or Chopper XP.

Have tried VOBEDIT, but can't get it to work/figure out how to make it work. When I select Join Clips, it doesn't save the file for some reason. Must be something I'm repeatedly doing wrong.

Chopper's timing marks are off by so much it's useless for my purposes. (As an example, I load a 7 minute VOB and it shows it as over 10 minutes to begin with, so it misses the desired cut mark by about 1-2 minutes each time.)

but in chopper you can play the VOB and seek the scene to the position to be cutted out and make it as "mark-out" - what would you do with the time code? superfluous! You must allways utilize the strong site of the program and avoid the weak site. It this difficult to understand?

Chopper misses the desired cut mark by about 1 minute, which is of no value to me. I need it within a few seconds at the most.

Don't can you "see" the scene/position and make mark?

OK, I got it ... thanks ... the problem turns out to be that I need to wait for about 1 minute for the file to catch up to start playing at the selected point because it's so large.

Thanks again!
