Doom9's Forum - View Single Post - GUIDE: How to prepare a DVD for NLE editing

Just some minor comments:

there are DVDs that include other things in the "main" VTS, things like trailers, logos, advertisments, warnings etc. Demuxing the whole VTS will have these included as well (you noticed this as well in your guide). I use PGCdemux, which allows me to demux exactly the part I need. Alternatively, one can use the reauthoring function of eg DVDshrink to get only the main movie.
the DVD is a distribution format, not an editing one - editing a DVD is usually done at the expense of reencoding (which appears to be the goal of your guide)
MPEG-2 files are generally compatible with many editing suites, audio files have to be decoded, however not many entry level editiong suites are capable of coping with more than 2 channels, not to mention multiple tracks
The subtitles/CCs are not important in your guide apparently
