okay.....i have the Collingwood WIN against Wet Toast final burnt on DVD (I recorded it on tv). This has commercials in it and I'd like to edit the commercial out and give a copy of this to my mother for christmas.

Anyone help? Favourites?


I'd also like to steal one of Die4Pies photos to put on the dvd, but will pm him for permission about that as well.

Your dvd recorder should allow you to edit what you record. Take the ads out before you burn it.

too late. I tried that once and totally deleted the what i'd recorded. It's a HDD recorder and i burnt it only dvd

so, now i already have it on DVD, i'd like to edit it. Any suggestions on programs or how to do it?

Try PMing Favourites.

you should be able to copy from the dvd back to the hdd and then edit from there.

i've copied it onto my hard drive here......but don't i need a programme to edit it?

that's what i'm asking........any ideas please...i only have 1 day to do this.

I've used a prog called ULead on PC a few years ago, did the job but wasn't the easiest thing to use, but then again, you are only chopping out ads, not adding soundtracks etc. I've used something called Pinnacle once or twice t work a while back too, that was OK. I use iMovie since I moved back to mac's a year or so ago.

You should be able to download something to do the trick. half an hours searching, especially forums, should save you a bit of grief.

unless you have video editing software on your pc you might be hard pressed. and in my experience some of those dvd recorders use a proprietary file format that are not recognised by all editors so you;d need to locate a file conversion application.

if you can, for the purposes of expediency, i'd copy the dvd back to the recorder's hdd and edit it using the recorder.

faves and others may have a better suggestion.

That would be the smartest thing to do I'd reckon.

Other suggestion is seeing if the Pies shop have it and buy a copy?

I will be at Lexus on Tuesday..........but doubt the shop will be open.

I've already given her a christmas present (the copeland trophy) this is just token.

i'll work it out.

thanks everyone

Then copy the DVD onto your PC so you have a backup before playing with it on the DVD recorder.

tried to record it back to edit it, but i failed........so she gets the unedited version of the game

however, i sat through the last terrifying 15 minutes (inlcuding the time on periods) and i was on the edge of my seat and yelling and not breathing lol.

It still gets to me
