    Alright, I didn't know where to post this, but thought this might be a good place.

    What I am trying to do is, take a movie that I have on DVD, rip it to an editable format, edit some of the audio, and then burn it back to DVD. What I am trying to do is, remove some of the bad language from a movie that I want to show to a friend that is easily offended by bad language. I want to accomplish this with minimal quality loss. I am sure that most people are going to recommend just ripping the movie to AVI or something, then edit it, then re-encode it / burn it back to DVD, I am willing to do this as a last ditch type effort, but I am concerned that there will be too much quality loss in doing that.

    I would love to get some feedback on what people recommend doing, and/or software that could help make this easy, thanks.

    Converting the video is not needed, and I wouldn't follow suggestions to do this. All you need is to demux (seperate) the audio and video, bleep or silence the offending audio bits, and then mux them together again.
    If you have TMPGEnc DVD Author, Virtualdub MPG, and a sound program like audacity that's all you'd need. You'd have to put some more work in if you wanted to keep the original menus and all that stuff, but those three can do a basic DVD for you with the editing you want.
