I was under the mistaken belief that a ripped DVD would result in identical copies
of the files that are on the DVD (ie. vob). After your reply, I
found some DVD rippers that encode to other file formats, so now my
choices for video editors are even better.<br>
<br>
I was initially considering using AVIDemux because their web site has
such good documentation. But I think I'll give kdenlive a try instead,
mostly because it seems to be getting a lot of press lately.<br>
<br>
I have at least 50 hours of video to edit, so ought to start cracking...<br>
