I want to remove 1 scene in the middle of a DVD video. I have a DVD .img file and was wondering what Mac software I could use to accomplish this? I've used Mpeg Streamclip before to extract scenes from DVD's but am not sure how to rebuild a DVD once extracted. Any advice would be most appreciated!

Thanks,
HL
 
This is one more reason that editing from DVD-compressed footage is a bad idea.

You've ripped the footage to edit, which means that it has been expanded to a workable codec like DV. Now that you're done, you have to re-compress it and author a new DVD, which will affect the video quality quite a bit. It can be done, but don't expect amazing things out of the end-product.
 
Use your original source footage for the video rather than the DVD you created.

Better to edit that rather than the compression DVD footage.
 
I too would rather avoid further compression, but at the current time I don't have access to the original footage.

I just learned that I can do the edit in DVDSP which will be the easiest solution. I don't really care that I can only cut on the I-frame, as long as the overall Mpeg2 video quality is retained with no additional compression. Hopefully the I frame factor doesn't interfere with the fact that my footage is 23.98 progressive.
 
I've successfully edited on the DVDSP timeline. It can be done. It didn't seem to affect the playback, so as long as it's just taking out one scene it should work.
