hi Fellow mepis users

My first attempt to edit a DVD disk using Kino

Dvd files saved to HDD as vts_01_1vob 1,023.5 MB Mpeg Video

Message. VOB is not a DV file

Kino Import states it wil takes a while
I wish to edit the DVD to save special clips then use K3B to burn a new disk
The Question is, How can I save the files on DVD to DV format?

Any one with DVD editing knowledge in Mepis
would appreciate a call
Thanks
Maurice

You might have good luck trying avidemux or dvdrip. Mandvd is good too. Qdvdauthor is the gui frontend for dvdauthor. Try some of these and see if any fits your needs.

Hi Mepnoob2005
Appreciate the information
The link chain loading Justlinux and Grub is great reading
Will certainly try those video editing programes

You're welcome. It's surprising how easy chainloading really is.
And another good thing about chainloading is when you do install grub to root while installing on whatever partition, is that you can install a different linux over top of the linux that was there, install grub to root again, and never have to re-edit your main grub again.
I found this out a while back when sidux come out. I had SimplyMEPIS 3.3.1-1 on hda7 and when I installed sidux there it just booted. My grub screen said that it was still 3.3.1-1 but sidux booted seeing how sidux was installed with grub to root. Then the next day I put SimplyMEPIS 3.4.3 on the partition that sidux was on and I still have not bothered to change my main grub.
When I refer to my main grub I mean the grub that is installed to the Mbr of hda. That is the only grub that you want to edit. Leave the other grubs, on other partitions, that are installed to root alone. This makes testing a new version of MEPIS, or any linux that can install grub to root, simple.
