Combining bits from different DVDs to make one.

[Feek]

I have a couple of commercial DVDs and I want to combine bits from each to make another disc.

Basically I have the original Star Trek DVD with Trouble with Tribbles and the DS9 DVD with Trials and Tribblations.

I can rip them both to my drive so there's no copy protection (DVD Decryptor ftw).

But does anyone know how I can pull the episodes I want from each one to be able to combine them to make a custom DVD with them both on?

Oh wait a minute, have you tried www.videohelp.com for their tutorials?

On a related topic, I would like to join all of the LOTR films (extended versions) together to make one (bloody) long film.

At the moment, I rip films to my HDD as ISO images (using the same software as Feek) and then mount them as virtual drives with Alcohol 120% to watch them.

Anybody have any idea how I might go about this?

Sorry, I forgot where I was for a minute and then realised I'm not under the despotic jackboot here.

Anyone want a copy of <insert new film title here>?

Bigstan - www.videolan.org download the VLC player, and you can queue up your ISO files to play in VLC.

only problem is you'll still encounter menus :(

both of you, get your pretty little tushies over to www.dvd-guides.com and check out their guides. i know how to do what both of you want on Mac, but not on PC.

Feek, i think yours will involve ripping and encoding your individual episodes as high quality mpeg/divx/avi and recoding/burning them to a DVD using something like WinAvi.

another option would be to find the VOB/IFO files that relate to the episodes you want, ripping them from the DVD, creating your own mini-menu (Roxio can do this) and burning all your files from there.

hope some/all of that helps you :)

Ok, I'll do that in the morning when sober :P I can live with menus :)

Thanks for your help.

By the way, how do you know I have a pretty little tush? :-?

Has BB been talking again :P

I used a piece of software called DVDx (I think) to rip DVDs straight to DivX (or XviD). If you are lucky, you will be able to load these .avi files into Adobe Premier and link them all together, cutting out annoyances such as credits etc on a frame-by frame basis.

It is fairly intuitive though you will need a fairly high spec rig to be able to do it!

I'll have a look at that as there is a tutorial on the site Desmo linked to for joining avi/divx files together :)

No problems with machine specs, I'm pretty sure at least 5 out of my 6 rigs will be able to handle it ;D

Thanks dude.

If you just want the main movie to start up without any menu's this is possible using DVDShrink. *probably with other apps as well but I don't use them*

Instead of going through the backup as you would normally - go to re-author and just drag across the main movie - select the languages and subtitles you want available then save it as an ISO.

Then use VLC so line up the ISO's. :D

Of course - all this is purely theoretical as I'd never do anything like that.... ;)
