Video Editing

[Admin]

I've got my son's Christmas play on a DVD, now I want to edit it and add titles etc.

Anyone have any recommendations for software to use? Free preferred but would pay for the write application.

Basically I want to trim shorter versions, add a couple titles and convert from VOB to AVI etc.

Cheers

Windows or Mac? If the latter, then iMovie and iDVD will do all what you want. It's part of iLife and is about £50

If you have Vista Home Premium then you will have Windows Movie Maker:

which does basic editing, but I haven't tried it myself.

Thanks Guys.

Windows.

Yeah Windows Movie Maker has the features but can't handle importing DVD VOB files.

I do like like that mac editing. Had a play in the apple shop, very nice.

I use ulead videostudio to convert from my old cam tapes to dvd not sure of it's editing merits though.

Use FFMpeg to convert it. It's open source, but is v good
