[LAU] [OT] Video editing - working with DVDs

[Lorenzo]

Hi Julien,

I'm not sure how double layer DVDs are lay out, as I hardly ever used 
one, so the following might not be useful...
But, I've done quite a lot of this for an event using 'regular' DVDs and 
having to split and cut files which eventually had to play from a single 
machine. In that case if the DVDs weren't encrypted it was simply copy 
the vob files and often reconcatenating them on hard disk (vob files can 
be simply concatenated using cat), then splitting them. If all I needed 
was split and cut (with some useful stuff like de-interlace etc) I used 
avidemux. Otherwise for full editing etc., cinelerra.

IF the DVDs were encrypted the process was much more of a hassle (and 
longer) but doable: I mostly used k3b and (if I recall correctly) 
certain codecs and libs for handling (even just playing) encrypted DVDs 
(I'm on ubuntu).

Hope this helps,
Lorenzo.
