I'm new to video editing, but I'd like to give it a try. I want to take clips from DVDs, edit them, and put the clips onto a new DVD that will play in a standalone DVD player. I understand that I need to convert the DVD files (.IFO, .VOB format) to something else such as MPEG2 to edit.

My question is: Is there an application that will convert, allow clipping and editing, and reconvert back to a DVD that will run in a DVD player? I've checked out several applications, but I haven't seen one that says it will convert back from MPEG2. If there is not a single application for the whole process, then can anyone recommend the necessary software?

Thanks,

Jeff
