Hopefully this is the right forum to post in. I want my final video to be in xvid format but the original source is dvd from my dvd recorder. Below is my scenario. Help is appreciated.
Looking for some suggestions on what the best utils are to do what I want here. I have a home DVD recorder that I have used to record some shows of the my Satellite Receiver. Basicly I want to take the DVD+RW that I used and end up with an xvid file of that tv show but with the commercials edited out. I want Xvid because I have a Philips DVP642 dvd player and it will play them fine so I can fit a lot of the shows on one dvdr.
I have used TMPGENC DVD Author which works great for loading the DVD+RW my DVD Recorder made and editing out the commercials but then it will only reauthor to another DVD which is not what I want. I tried the option to record the clip date to the HD but it always outputs a bunch of MPG's and not just want. If it was just one MPG file then I could use AutoGK but it seems to record a seperate MPG for each chapter on the original dvd+rw my dvd recorder made.
So I'm almost there but not quite.. If you guys have any suggestions on a better way to do what I want ot accomplish here it would be much appreciate it. Trying to have the least amount of steps but keep the quality as close to the original as possible in the final xvid file.
TIA
