Help editing .vob files

Hello all,

My family and I have been in the Carabbean over 15 years ago, and when I recently cleared out the loft I found some video tapes that my dad did at the time ... My neighbour has since been a real gem and somehow converted these onto several DVD's for me (and quite surprisingly the picture and sound quality is superb) ... So far so good ...

Now I have over 7 hours of un-cut movies which I would like to reduce to an easy 45 minute movie to show to my family this Christmas (my dad is way over 70 now and would be absolutely thrilled) ...

I'm not bad with computer's but have NO clue how I could watch (and subsequently edit those 500MB files - they are in .vob format).

ANY help would be grately appreciated on this matter - I wouldn't even mind investing some money into an appropriate programme (since I would really need to have it done by this Christmas as Dad is not getting better), but I leave that up to the pro's here to decide for me - many many thanks in advance -

Kind Regards
Boris

Hello roadworker,

many thanks for your links - So would you (or anyone else) advise to convert the .vob files into mpeg (or similar) prior to editing these ?

Kind Regards
Boris

No need to.....RocketJet's version ,http://www.geocities.com/rocketjet4/ can import vobs directly.......but you have to reauthor your project again if you cut to much,because the dvdstructure will be messed up......

that's why I also adviced DvdRemakePro as other option......this 1 is much more than a cutter/joiner.....it's the ultimate dvdtool....

Roadworker,

thanks a lot for your help - I think I'll bite the bullet and order this DVDREMAKE pro (for about 50 dollars) ... It's a lot of money for just cutting one movie, but it appears to be the easiest solution (shame I can't find the programe on any p2p sites :-)

Thanks again
Boris

Don't forget to download the manual,otherwise it won't be so easy.....
Better check out the trial before you buy,so you get a taste of it....if it doesn't fit your needs,you don't have wasted 50$....
Don't want to get shot by you....
