There are many programs that you can use to edit a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc). Each DVD editing software can edit content by either importing the VOB (DVD Video Object) files directly or converting DVD files into files that the software can recognize such as MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) or WMV (Windows Media Video). Editing a DVD is just like editing any other movie file on your computer once the VOB files have been imported or converted.

Steps

TMPGEnc DVD Author

Download TMPGEnc DVD Author from the TMPGEnc website and install the software on your computer.

Open TMPGEnc DVD Author and create a new DVD.

Add the DVD that you want to edit by clicking on "Add DVD Video."

Browse to the "Video_TS" folder and select the video and audio files that you want to edit.

Copy the DVD data onto your hard disk drive if you want to create an MPEG copy that can be edited using other common programs (such as Windows Movie Maker). You can skip this step if you are only going to use TMPGEnc DVD Author for DVD editing.

Click the OK button. You can now edit the DVD directly in TMPGEnc DVD Author.

DVD Decrypter

Use DVD Decrypter to extract files from a DVD (a process known as DVD ripping). The official DVD Decrypter website is no longer available but you can still download and install the software using a mirror website that provides download links for the latest version of DVD Decrypter.

Open DVD Decrypter and go to "IFO" under the Mode menu.

Choose the movie file on your DVD that you want to edit in the Input tab. This will bring up a list of chapters underneath so you can select or deselect the chapters that you wish to edit.

Assign the following settings in the Stream Processing tab. Stream processing should be enabled. Demux should be selected. The destination path where you want to save your edited audio and video files should be chosen.

Rip the DVD onto your computer by clicking on "DVD to HD image." You can now edit a DVD that is converted and saved on your hard drive just like any other movie saved on your computer.
