I Am Ready To Purchase Editing Programs

Author

After a month of trying Womble Mpeg Video Wizard, I am ready to but it. My question is what programs do I need to make a complete edit. I am getting Womble for sure, but what else do I need. Probably DVD Lab Pro as well. Are these the only programs absoloutlt needed, if not, what else do I need to purchase. {No free trials, I am only buying}

Video Editor - for example Womble Video Wizard, for creating mpeg files
Audio Editor - Cool Edit Pro, Adobe Audition .... For editing sound
BeSweet (+ BeLight) - for converting any sound file to any other format (e.g. MP3 to AC3)
Surcode DVD-DTS - for converting 6 mono WAV files to one 6chanel DTS file (if you want to use it)
SubRip - to rip the subtitles from the VOB files to any text files
Subtitle editor - Subtitle Workshop - for editing/converting text subtitles, Subtitle Workshop - for converting srt subtitles to sup format needed for all authoring applications (except DVDLabPro)
DVD authoring tool - there are many of them, most of them are freeware, like IfoEdit, MuxMan, ReJig, DVDAuthorGUI, but for a beginner the best solution is to buy a big commercial package like DVDLabPro, which allows you to do almost anything you can imagine !
PGCEdit - not really needed, I use it to modify PGC commands in a more conveniant way then DVDLabPro or other soft, with a combination of DVDLabPro and PGCEdit you can REALLY do ANYTHING you can imagine. PGCEdit can also create ISO files from your project.
Shrinking soft - if your project doean't fit on a DVD5, I usually Shrink it with DVDShrink (with deep analysis and AEC sharp).
Burning soft - many good programs out there, like Nero (but Burning Rom, NOT that "Nero Express"), and of course IMGBurn.

Hope I didn't forget something

whoa man, that's allot of programs! That must cost a tone! I really couldn't care less about programs that fix the colour of a scene and what not. I only care about edit movie, add subtitles, burn it. That's it. I thought I would only need Womble and DVD lab Pro

If you just want to cut and paste video and audio and author a dvd womble mpeg and dvdlab pro is enough for now. If you want to change the audio or video you need more.

Besides:
BeSweet (+ BeLight) = free.
SubRip = free.
PGCEdit = free.
DVDShrink = free.
ImgBurn = free.

So you're telling me that I only need Womble and DVD Lab Pro, the others are freeware? If they are free trials forget about it.

No, not trials. Free programs. You can download them here.

I have used Sound Forge for music editing. There's a light version for $70 that's out there, and that's what I use. Now, I don't have experience with overall sound editing, so I don't know if that will help you there, but it's a thought.
