There are lots of programs available for deleting entire components
(menus, extras) from a DVD structure, but those won't help you.

For free A-B editing of mpeg2 files (with or without a full DVD file
structure around them) try Mpg2Cut2:

You will need to download BOTH the main Mpg2Cut2 zip file AND the
AUDIO DLLs zip file.

I just found it and haven't actually used it much, but it does open
and extract clips or stills from home-recorded VR-mode files. If
you're wanting to steal content from protected commercial DVDs, I
don't know if it does that or not.

For free "authoring" software to assemble your clips into a new DVD,
try IfoEdit:
<http://www.ifoedit.com/>
and/or PgcEdit:
<http://www.videohelp.com/~r0lZ/pgcedit/index.html>

Or if you just want to spend some money and get your project done
without learning so many gory details about DVD internals, try the
Womble products:
