DVD Editing

software to edit DVDs without reauthoring

 


IFOEdit
IFOEdit is a very good app for editing DVDs.  It allows to strip audio and subtitle streams you do not like, to erase some menus and extras but still preserve the rest of DVD structure. So you could get rid of a nasty warning, delete an audio stream you will not use, and bring the size of the movie down to a point where you can burn it onto a recordable DVD media. IfoEdit also allows important changes to the .ifo files (which contain the "logic" behind DVD playback) to edit some region codes, protection, modify menu links, etc.

Not easy to use, but a very good application.

We can remove unneeded angles from multiangle disks; remove unneeded audio and subpicture streams; join two complete DVDs preserving original menus; disable menu buttons to material you have removed; delete menus for selected language; cut out credits, embedded studio logos and commercials; remove warning/rating screens; remove menu transitions; convert motion menus and credits to still; split a DVD into 2 discs (ideal for episodic DVD's); actually, remove any scene from the disk. no more splitting disks - have what you like on your disk (movie or extra, or even part of this and part of that) with the original menu by simply removing what you don't want to see on the disk;preview DVD with audio and subpictures playback (MPEG and AC3 audio are supported at the moment).

Extremely easy to use.

VideoRedo (shareware)
VideoReDo lets you edit TV Shows, Movies, and Home Videos without hassle... rather than hours with traditional video editing software. If you use a PVR or DVR, no matter what your expertise, beginner or video expert, you can easily create custom videos, TV shows and movies: VideoRedo makes fast work of trimming, cutting, and/or joining your MPEG compressed digital images.

Like DVD Remake, there is no need to re-encode.
