Video editing software

I have an issue that I would like some help with.
I am running Win 7 (64bit) Media Centre, on a dedicated Machine. I need to shrink a *.wtv file from 33gb to around 4gb to get it on to a dvd. It’s NFL (for a mate from the USA, but a missionary in remote location). I am if any could help me find a program that will allow me to edit the commercials out and an application that will allow me to reduce the size. I can copy on to a DVD but need help with these steps before I burn to a DVD, can you please help me, I don’t mind paying for an App, but would rather just use free ones. raff@agostino.net

You’ll want [url=http://babgvant.com/files/]DVRMSToolbox[/url] for removing commercials.

Here’s a thread with someone in a similar situation:

VideoReDo is a popular editing program that also works with dvr-ms files.  It’s not free but well worth the cost if you do a lot of editing.  It will convert dvr-ms files to other popular formats that are easier to shrink using apps like DVDShrink or DVD-Rebuilder.  If you’re working with HD files, you might want to use HDTV2DVD to convert the HD files to a standard def resolution for burning to DVD.  It’s a freeware app that can be found here:

You need to input the files as transport streams (.ts files), which VideoReDo can create for you.  Edit the dvr-ms file in VideoReDo and save it as a .ts file.  Drop the .ts file into HDTV2DVD and it will create a complete set of DVD files ready for burning.  If the files are too large to fit on a single DVD you can shrink it with DVDShrink or DVD-Rebuilder.
