DVD movie still plays essential role in our audio/video daily life in spite of prosperity of online video and handheld devices. The problem is that DVD movie is not editable and you can only watch the movie the way it is presented on the disk. This is a time of individual customization and showing your own style, why not tries to edit a movie and watch it in whatever way you like. To edit the DVD movie, you need to convert DVD to AVI firstly and then import the exported AVI videos to Adobe Premiere, Windows Movie Maker, and Sony Vegas etc. First let us start from what is AVI.
About AVI
AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave Which is defined by Microsoft. It can work as a container to be embedded with different codec, such as DivX, XviD, etc. The AVI video generally brings high quality, but occupies larger disk space. It is suitable for further video editing.
To edit DVD with Windows movie maker, you need a DVD Ripper to convert DVD to AVI. Pavtube DVD Ripper offers AVI formats with various codec, which will certainly meet your needs to play, and edit video etc

Now you have got the output AVI videos, and the rest of the work goes to video editing software. Let’s take Windows movie maker for example.
Step1: Import your video. Get your video onto your computer any way you need too. Open Windows Movie Maker.

Step2: Edit your AVI video. Open your storyboard by clicking "View storyboard." Your storyboard will be your timeline and where you will do most of your editing. For you movie folks we can call it your "cutting room floor." To put your video in the storyboard, drag it from your library to the storyboard. Click the plus sign on your timeline so you can see video and audio lines. If you want to add extra audio to your piece, import it the same way you did your video.
Step3: Play your AVI video and watch for where you want to cut and delete the extraneous video. Place your timeline cursor (the blue line that crosses perpendicular to the timeline) where you want to cut your video and split it by choosing "Edit split." Split your original video as many times as you want. Once you split the video you see the rest of the original video in your library. Delete the video you don't want by pressing "Delete" on your keyboard.
Step4: Add video by dragging it to the storyboard. Make sure your cursor is where you want it on the timeline because the program will automatically place your audio track where your cursor is. You will notice your audio track goes into the audio space on your timeline. To edit audio follow the same steps as the video.

This guide demonstrates the simple steps to convert DVD videos to MPEG movies. Converting DVD to MPEG enables you to play on computer, to get video segments for burning to Video CD (VCD), Super VCD (SVCD), and even DVD.
About DVD
DVD generally stands for Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc. There are VOB, IFO, BUP files in the folder named VIDEO_TS, under the DVD folder. The VOB files generally contain showing data like video, audio, subtitle, etc. The IFO files contain the navigation information of how the data show up. The BUP files are the backup of the IFO files.
About MPEG
MPEG, an acronym for o the Moving Picture Experts Group, has standardized several compression formats, such as MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 (MP4), etc. MPEG-1 is the initial video and audio compression standard. It was designed for video with transmission rate of about 1.5 Mbps, and is used as the standard for VCD now. MPEG-2 is video and audio standard for broadcast-quality television. It is used for over-the-air digital television ATSC, DVB and ISDB, digital satellite TV services like Dish Network, digital cable television signals, SVCD, and with slight modifications, as the .VOB (Video OBject) files that carry the images on DVDs.
Even though the DVD video is encoded with MPEG-2, the video data is formatted as VOB, and you need a DVD ripper to get the MPEG video from the VOB files. Pavtube DVD Ripper offers the conversion from DVD to MPEG-1 and from DVD to MPEG, including MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 with output as .mpg format.

Note: The profile for DVD (*.vob) is also encoded with MPEG2, but the output format is VOB.

Select the profile according to the usage of the output video. The video is encoded with NTSC standard by default. Click "Settings" button if you want to change it to PAL.

The VCR and DVD player are manufactured with NTSC or PAL standard to play corresponding VCD, SVCD and DVD. If you want to play video with PAL standard on a VCR with NTSC standard, you may not get the image.
