? on cutting/joining diff clips from diff movies

[EuropeanMan]

Ok, I have a question that covers a few areas of video editing.

Ok, I have 13 movies. (actually, 14...but the last one is separate)

From these 13 movies, I want to cut out a music video section, let's say a particular musical sequence that covers a song from start to finish. On ALL 13 DVDs, they have english subtitles. So therefore, I wish to cut out, lets say 6 minutes of the movie WITH the subtitles intact.

So after all 13 music numbers are cut out...what I want to do then, is to JOIN all of them together. So like a short movie, but just with music videos...so one song (WITH THE ENGLISH SUBTITLES) plays right after one another.

NEXT, after joining all these sections...I want them all to be JUST as a VIDEO_TS folder...I hope I can do this WITHOUT having to convert to .avi format. I also wish to retain top sound quality. I do NOT wish to lose any quality whatsoever in video as well.

So, I am guessing there will be several .vob files within the folder...IF i burn this to DVD, will I be able to play this like any other DVD?

So yes, this is a gift I need to give before Eid (on the 31st december)...so I would love an answer...

Thank you in advance for the help. Please let me know any and all software I need..

Oh yes, the 14th music video is separate...so yes, i will have 2 different DVDs...ONE with the 13 song sequence, and 2nd DVD is ONLY the 14th song by itself.

{All 14 movies are Hindi films...and for those who know about them, they all have musical numbers in them...so this gift is about getting those 13 together on one disc, and the last on another from 14 different DVDs...}

I hope this is the right forum for me to post this. This is my first time posting a question...and I am not too familiar with searching.

From what I have heard, it is easier to convert all 14 movies into .avi format...and then cut them. But that takes too much time, right? Also, I was told that once those 14 pieces are converted back to DVD file format, ie. .vob & .ifo files, you would need a DVD authoring tool to make the whole DVD playable on any player...so I am lost. I was also told that maybe it's easier to also make a menu so you can play any of the 13 chapters (music videos/numbers) on that one DVD...of course the 14th would play just the ONE video by itself...

Wow! The same post in 3 different forums. How ambitious. You might want to check out rule #8 of the forum rules.

The post also doesn't relate to DVD-RB or what it does. You're talking about editing and authoring, not backup.

What you're asking is simpel enough using reauthoring software that has some basic video editing (like TMPGenc DVD Author) as this will also let you create each video as one big titleset or individual titleset

Either way, it will play as one DVD, just change the settings in the options to play the next title after teh first one has finished

Really you need to look at another website that will have all the software you will need and also plenty of advice a sthis will be covered on there plus in their guides section, which there are plenty of

Go here, the DVD-RB forum is really the wrong place to ask questions on editing or authoring

I think DVDShrink will do the same but will be a bit more work, and its still free, won't cost you anything
