I have two questions, coming from somebody not experienced with DVD editing. There's a movie I'm wishing to edit, which unfortunately has a few handicaps from the get go, no chapter stops and it's non-anamorphic, which leads to my questions:

FIRST:

I have the files to a DVD (BUP, IFO, VOB), but the movie itself is lacking ANY chapter stops (meaning you have to fast forward through it, no breaks at all).

 

What's the easiest/most efficient way to add those? I am not going to bother designing a menu for the chapter stops, just a way to skip ahead, say at 5 or 10 minute intervals like other movies.

 

SECOND:

This particular movie is non-anamorphic (meaning the black bars top and bottom are part of the image). If I wanted to make it into an "anamorphic" DVD, how would I chop off those bars, or is it that simple (without killing the image quality of course)?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!
