I was hoping for an application that would extract that material
from a ripped image.
Rich's suggestion of using "Cinematize" looks like it would work, $$.
In your OP you mention that you want to do this from a "DVD rip".
Ok, that's a MPEG-2 arranged in a Video_TS folder. You can use a
tool such as ffmpeg to extract the section you want.
Were do iI find a tool like that? Does it let me place chapters in a
seperate folder to burn a DVD?
ffmpeg is open source, with a lot of dependancies. IOW, a pita to
build yourself. So I recommend downloading the latest Burn, and just
using the version of ffmpeg it contains. I think we've covered this
in other threads on LEM - pls search the archives. ffmpegX is a
shareware GUI for ffmpeg that you might find useful.
I'm not sure how chapters are done. If they're discrete files within
the Video_TS folder, then you might be able to just grab them from
Finder. My guess is that they're simply timed indexes into the data
stream. If that's the case, then use ffmpeg to extract the timed
segment you need. It has start and end options and is smart enough
to keep the audio and video tracks synchronized.
