I have home movies already on my hard drive, I transferred them from some DVD's with DVD Decrypter...now I want to edit them.....but what program do I need for editing some garbage on them...these files are now VOB....Thanks B

hi ms movie maker should do the trick and is standard to XP home. however, what do you mean by VOB?

when I open the file saved on hard disk it says these files are VOB .... search me but thanks I will try Movie Maker, any other suggestions would be appreciated

ah, VOB are the large files that make up a DVD, or so a search tells me. go into movie maker and import them, it should pull them through as clips which you can then splice as you wish. i recently did a short film on movie maker and it was superb for a piece of standard software. just make sure you save your project regularly, as mine would crash from time to time, just due to the size of the files and amount of ram required. good luck, happy editing

There are numerous options, This is a good website, take a look. http://www.videohelp.com/edit Girls just wanna have fun! Im out to help them all I can!

My experience, hope this helps you: I tried Movie Maker and found it to be very robust for a freebie. However it was also a little buggy and I was not able to save the finished project if it was larger than about 125mb. Anything larger and the program would just quit, sometimes at 99% complete, I have 1.25GB of ram installed with a 2.6 P4 cpu. Also the transcoding of the windows media files take a long time. Mpeg2 seems to go much faster so I switched to Nero. Things were much smoother with Nero although it too has some bugs.But all in all, it worked much better.

Rip as an iso file with dvddecrypter. Use dvdshrink to start end frames and save. You can reopen the iso several times and grab portions. Nero does this to with Nero Recode. Most dvd burning programs allow several files to added to make a full dvd disc. Leon Wisnensky The Hot Dog Vending Pimp
