Have you ever wished to combine scenes from many DVDs onto one DVD? This website has instructions how to to make a compilation DVD, and have just the scenes you like. This particular method has three advantages:

  • It preserves all the picture quality of the original DVDs because the video is NOT re-encoded.
  • It's much faster than methods that involved re-encoding video.
  • It cost nothing because software it uses is currently freeware.

One caveat to keep in mind:

I am not a video expert. At this writing, I have been doing this for about two weeks. The reason I created this site is to allows other to test this method of editing DVDs. It's like a scientist publishing a paper for peer review. Now that my working method is publicly posted, others can find flaws in it or suggest improvements.

If you try this method out, I would be very interested in hearing how it worked, and I welcome any suggestions for improving it.

Found out that it is not a good idea to mix VOBs encoded with PCM audio and VOBs encoded with AC-3 audio. Working on a fix for this, but I doubt one exists.
