I have a DVD movie that stops in the middle. I copied it to my hard
drive and would like to edit the movie to remove the bad spot and burn
a new DVD. When played from my hard drive, the movie stops in the
same place as when played directly from the original DVD. What
software do I need to buy that could fix this? Would Ulead Movie
Factory work? TIA

Did you rip it with the same drive you played it with? If it can't read it
it can't rip it.

I would try re-authoring the movie with TMPGEnc DVD Author. If it still
stops in the middle, then use the same program to edit out the bad spot
and then re-author it again.

I'm a fan of TMPGEnc DVD Author too, but wonder if this might be an
occasion where Nero might do a better job, because it re-encodes video as
part of the authoring process, which might iron out the problem....

You could try just dragging the vob files into a program like Womble or
VideRedo and play through. Edit out any faulty bits and export as a mpeg2
file. Then reauthor using whatever is your favourite program. Nero, TMP etc
