I'll be giving the trial a go this afternoon. I do note that when I upgrade to Win 7, I'll have to use my dvrmstoolbox once again to convert from the native MCE wtv format to mpeg2 prior to loading into plus, because only their more expensive .264 version handles the wtv files. Maybe I can convince a member of the family to get it for Christmas or my next birthday, grin. Thanks much for the help.

I move up or down arrow by the seconds or whatever and hit f3 to select the start of the cut video or the commerciail area. Find the other end of it and hit f4. Then hit delete and it wil be gone. Keep moving around the video and hit select stated above and delete till I got those commercial out. By default the up and down arrow key is set to 0 second. I set to 5 seconds and then that's it in the settings. Give the videoredo plus at videoredo.net a try Its not freeware but to me, its worth my money. -------- ---------------------- regards Thomas N.

I have a piece of software that can quite nicely convert from the dvr-ms format to mpeg2 for proper editing, but it's built-in automatic commercial remover is very hit or miss at times, and will even sometimes confuse part of the show as being a commercial; obviously I had to disable this feature and leave the shows unedited. So what I'm looking for is to take those converted tv shows in mpeg2, load them into some other video editing software, manually delete the commercials myself, then figure out a way to convert that edited empeg2 to set of dvd files for burning, so the rest of my family can watch the show on their big screen tv. If I don't remove the commercials, the video will be too big to fit even to a dual layer dvd, and I don't have a blu-ray burner or player and can't afford one in any case. Most of the editors I've tried only allow selection of portions of videos by mouse along some sort of timeline or other such visual, which obviously does me no good. Supposedly my Nero 7 Vision Essentials allows keyboard driven selection for editing, but I can't even get it to load a video whatsoever to test this. I can trim off the beginning and end of the video with Windows Live Movie Maker 2009, but I can't figure out how to select and delete out the commercial portions. I had this same problem with selecting when looking for audio editors, until I came across WavePad, so I tried the company's VideoPad, hoping maybe they had a similar selection feature by entering a dialogue, plugging in the start and end times of a video, and hitting ok. While it does, the only trim or delete allowed is of the current clip in a sequence of clips, but not of a portion of a clip alone. I've looked over the help files for Vision Essentials and Windows Live Movie Maker, but all the instructions are given for sighted people, exception one mention of a few shortcuts in WlMM that weren't much help with my selecting and delete issue. I've tried a couple other freeware editors, both of which entirely used mouse only interfaces and were completely useless to me. Of course I've tried using the numpad WE mouse cursor during all my efforts, and so far no dice. Needless to say I'm getting rather frustrated. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas N.

As for free, there's one call tmpeg or something. Depends what you are trying to edit I personally use that tmpeg before but I bought videoredo plus a few years back but didn't see them will upgrade that version Videoredo tv suite is what they will update now. -------- ---------------------- regards Thomas N.

I'm hunting for a WE friendly video editing software, preferably freeware, that can edit mpeg2 videos. Any suggestions? Jason Symes 64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one yesterday.
