Do you Edit? Â DVD Author? Â what do you use?

[Networker]

Hey all..

Just thought I'd get a grasp of what people use, why and how they like it...

I have used the ULEAD that comes with the PVR150, it's okay for a hand holder.. always re-encodes no matter what (found a fix for that) and in general is good for ease of use...

I have discovered VideoReDo for editing, so quick and easy! And it looks like if I can get SageReDo to work it will read the Comskip file and convert it to a cut list ot use in VideoRedo, can't get that working yet.

I have also discovered, thanks to someone posting the link to the bitrate chart on Media Chane's site, DVDlab.. It seems really nice so far.

I'm tried Adobe Premiere but I don't have the time to really learn it and it takes up a lot of resources. Have access to see Encore but don't know much about it..

Seems like I can spend $150 and get VideoRedo and DVDlabs, at least I have 30 days to work with them and see if they are really worth it.. 2 days into and it and they seem good.

I use Tmpgenc DVD Author. It's very straightforward and doesn't (can't) reencode, and for a little more you can add a plugin to transcode the audio to AC3.

For simple DVD's TmpgEnc DVD Author is good. For editing I use Cuttermaran but you can do a lot within DVD Author for cutting out sections.

If you need more control over DVD's then I hear DVD Labs Pro is good software,

Cheers,
Colin.

So far DVDlabs 'entry' seems to be very good, the only edit you can do is end of show.. WHich is fine, like I said right now I am playing with VideoReDo, I may look at others.. I prefer to use open source (linux or windows), then freeware and finally I'll pay for a quality program.
