Hello People :-)

I am working on a little video editing project and have run into a
brick wall. I was hoping you might have some suggestions.

I have some .vob files that came off of a DVD. I want to be able to
split the large tracks into smaller tracks. I am looking for some
shareware that will allow me to do this by choosing the exact minute/
second intervals for each split. Any suggestions?

After I get the tracks split, I want to be able to play the new video
track, add a different audio track, and record the combined project. I
would like the finished product to be uploadable in an .avi format.

I have been playing around with this free program called Screencast-o-
matic, but it won't let me record any visuals that appear directly
from my DVD playing program. It just captures a black screen. Is there
another program that would allow me to capture visuals directly from
the DVD player and record sound?

Also, I tried to work with both types of files in PowerPoint, but I
can only make the audio begin with the slide or with the click of the
mouse. Is there some way to set the audio to record at an exact time
after the inserted video begins playing? I know how to make the slides
change at specific time intervals, but there doesn't seem to be an
option to do that with audio?

And, to make matters worse, the video has horrible sound that needs to
be muted so that the good sound from the audio file can play by
itself.

Any suggestions are welcome and very much appreciated.

Thanks.
