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

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
