How do I tell the software that the cut I just made should be reflected in the conversion to DVD that I make later? Surely it doesn't have to go through the lengthy conversion process on that part of the video that isn't going to appear on the DVD. However, when I tell the software to convert my project to DVD format, it converts all 5.5 hours of it. I only have one MPG file, I'm cutting it down to 3 hours from 5.5 so that it will fit on a DVD once I've done the above steps, the 'scene' appears shorter and shows the new 3 hour length. I can follow the video up through the point where I have marked a section, added it as a removed portion of the video, clicked on "apply changes", gotten the dialog that warns me that the length the video I'm editing has changed, and confirming that. I have VSDC version 2.3.0.337 there is a tutorial from someone on this forum that does go through clipping out portions of your video using this software, but I think it must be for a different version because there are differences (like the labels on some of the buttons).
