Advice please.
I want to edit several of my own DVDs to extract musical numbers from
them ... to make a single compilation DVD of highlights for my own
use.These are for old, often very corny Hollywood musicals which just
happen to have totally brilliant sequences in them.
Is there a preferred program for this sort of editing? I've tried the
editing function on DVDShrink, but it seems to lack the option of
listening to the video you're trying to edit .. which makes for very
clumsy edit-points. If I create an ISO file on my hard-disc, is there
an editing program which can then deal with that? Just what is the best
way to proceed?

I use Ulead Movie Factory
not the best product available
but for my purposes cheap (free!)
and reasonably easy to use

I haven't used it to edit from DVD
(I have a TV card and mostly just
use it to convert MPG to DVD until
I get my Pioneer 686 DIVX player)
but basically you start a project
add DVD Video, set start and end frames
(which you can see and listen to)
then create output to HDD or DVD

CD

VideoReDo does an excellent job with just this sort of thing, although you
need a DVD ripper (or other CSS decryption system) so it can read the
disc.

I've done something similar - I used DVDShrink to set very rough edit
points, erring on the side of generosity, then TMPGenc DVD Author to take in
the individual "virtual DVDs", and author them as a single DVD. When I did
it, I didn't let 'Shrink compress any of the clips. The resulting
compilation was then a little too big for a single layer disc, which I then
Shrunk down before burning. I think this is probably the way to go - then
you're only compressing each file once.

I'm sure there are other ways of doing it, but I'm used to these two
programs, and didn't particularly want to learn another one...

VirtualDub

You can directly load the .VOB's into it and delete what you don't want.

This is possible using various different methods (VideoReDo is probaly the
best) but the audio tracks must be all the same. You cannot edit together
Dolby Mono/Stereo/5.1 material into one stream.

DVD Audio Extractor should do what you want ... save to .wav file, then
maybe encode to MP3 with LAME, or make regular audio CD with Nero 6.
