Rich's suggestion of using Cinematize looks like it would work, $$. In your OP you mention that you want to do this from a DVD rip. Ok, that's a MPEG-2 arranged in a Video_TS folder. You can use a tool such as ffmpeg to extract the section you want. Were do iI find a tool like that? Does it let me place chapters in a seperate folder to burn a DVD? ffmpeg is open source, with a lot of dependancies. IOW, a pita to build yourself. So I recommend downloading the latest Burn, and just using the version of ffmpeg it contains. I think we've covered this in other threads on LEM - pls search the archives. ffmpegX is a shareware GUI for ffmpeg that you might find useful. I'm not sure how chapters are done. If they're discrete files within the Video_TS folder, then you might be able to just grab them from Finder. My guess is that they're simply timed indexes into the data stream. If that's the case, then use ffmpeg to extract the timed segment you need. It has start and end options and is smart enough to keep the audio and video tracks synchronized. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Custom DVDs
Hi All I would like to be able to extract certain chapters from a DVD rip to be able to burn to single layer DVDs without compression. I can't find this option on Toast. All it will do for me is compress to fit to SL DVD I don't want compression. I there a way to do this./ I hope I explained it right.

I don't think we're talking raw camera footage here. So, aren't DVD's MPEG-2? So I'd go for finding some way to rip from the source DVD it as MPEG-2, then it should be able to be burned straight back to another DVD without needing any re-encoding or compression. Of course, this is all theory and I could be very, very wrong -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
