I recorded a news event on a DVD+RW disk and want to edit out portions of the recording for archival purposes. If you're at all curious, it was Brett Favre's retirement news conference.
Can anyone recommend a program that handles this? Ideally, the program would allow me edit out pieces of the video and save the edited file to my hard drive for eventual buning to a DVD+R.

I already own DVD burning software (CopyToDVD) so all I really want is editing software.

Thanks in advance.

Might take a look at Adobe Premier Elements.

Here are the two I have used:

* DVD Shrink is primarily for ripping and burning dvds, but in it you can select which scenes to burn onto the new disk. It's a free program.

* Nero Suite, version 8 includes Nero Vision, which can cut out more precise portions of video. It is not free.

You know, I've been using DVD Shrink (along with CopyToDVD) for a while now to decode/burn DVDs and never realized it's capable of what you claim. Will give it a shot. Thanks.

Hey Klaatu!!

No, I can't say that I have. I have tried very few since I use AVS for almost all of my needs.

They have what I need so, for now I will stick with what works.

I will, however, try the one you have linked for me.

Keep us posted.

To remove scenes, you actually cull whatever scenes you want to keep.

1) Select "Re-author" (far right on top tool bar), instead of default ("Full Disk");

2) Drag to left-hand side of the window all scenes you want to keep
