Hi all! I'm totally new at video editing and DVD authoring and I'm creating a DVD compilation containing 30+ clips collected from a variety of DVD sources (as many as there are clips). It's gonna be a compilation of TV appearances by a musical group.
I've already extracted most of the clips from the DVDs using VideoReDo TVSuite V4 and saved them as separate mpgs. I'm planning to use TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 (and Adobe Photoshop CS6 for menus) when authoring the DVD.
My question is what video editing software you guys would recommend me to use? Here's what I'm planning to do with the MPEGs I've collected:
- Add descriptive texts before the beginning of each clip and fades at the beginning and end of each clip.
- Possibly adjusting the volume of the audio so that all clips are about the same volume-wise.
- Possibly replacing original audio with new audio in some clips.
- Possibly adjusting the audio / video sync in one clip.
- Adjusting the aspect ratio of some clips, as they have been captured / recorded from TV broadcasts in wrong aspect ratio - e.g. one is stretched out to 16:9, and one is "pinched" to less than 4:3 (with added black bars).
- Add subtitles (not hardcoded) to certain clips
All this while compromising the quality as little as possible. Is there a good all-in-one solution?
Oh, and a final question - since the clips are compiled from a variety of DVD sources would it be wise (quality wise) to edit them as separate "tracks", or should I just edit and encode them to one big mpeg?
Any help regarding this would be MUCH appreciated. :)
