How to trim, crop, edit, join DVD movies on Mac?
DVD-Video is a consumer video format used to store digital video on DVD discs, and is currently the dominant consumer video format in Asia, North America. Europe, and Australia. The DVD-Video specification was created by DVD Forum and can be obtained from DVD Format/Logo Licensing Corporation for a fee of $5,000. To record moving pictures, DVD-Video uses either MPEG-2 compression at up to 9.8 Mbit/s (9,800 kbit/s) or MPEG-1 compression at up to 1.856 Mbit/s (1,856 kbit/s).
At 25 frame/s, interlaced (commonly used in regions with 50 Hz image scanning frequency – PAL):
The following formats are allowed for MPEG-2 video:
720 × 576 pixels (same resolution as D-1)
704 × 576 pixels
352 × 576 pixels (same as the China Video Disc standard)
At 29.97, interlaced (commonly used in regions with 60 Hz image scanning frequency – NTSC):
720 × 480 pixels (same resolution as D-1)
704 × 480 pixels
352 × 480 pixels (same as the China Video Disc standard)
An MPEG-2 encoder can add flags in video stream to indicate scanning type, field order and field repeating.
However, many Mac users are boring about how to trim, crop, edit, join DVD movies on Mac as below
Q1: How do I join VOB files?
I have two VOB files that play in VLC. They are each at least 1 GB. I am able to burn it in my Toast so I have it on DVD. But how do I join these two into one file? So they play seamlessly, to a certain degree? If I don’t join them they will be shown as two separate movies on the DVD menu. I would like to be able to watch it without interruption. I have a Mac.
Q2: How to edit a DVD on Mac?
I have a MacBook. If I get a DVD, pop it in, and want to edit it for content i.e. (make an R-rated film more PG-13) can I use iMovie? Or what would be the best way to do it? Thanks.
Luckily, a friend of mine recommended me a DVD Editor for Mac which he tried very great. I download the free trial and found it’s very easy to use, and can trim any clips of DVD movies, crop the redundant edges and add some effects. Moreover, Mac DVD Ripper enables you combine several DVD movies into one, so you can enjoy long movies without interruption. Then I bought it without any hesitating. If you have the same problem with me, maybe you can try it. Learn the details about how to edit DVD on Mac! Hope to help you.
