The DVDs in question had the annoying trailers, warnings, etc as a 
separate vob file from the video that I wanted.   I tried deleting the 
vob file, but then the menu didn't work.  Vobblanker, a windows app that 
works under wine allowed me to remove the annoying crap and keep the 
menus working.  I rip DVDs using Handbrake and store the resulting video 
files on a hard drive.  I use the DVDs as a backup.  I was curious how 
to remove the annoying crap.  If I'm going to pay good money for a DVD, 
I believe I have the right to back it up so I can watch the video 
without risking wear and tear or damage to the  DVDs I bought. Anything 
I've read on the matter says it's legal to make a backup copy, but not 
to share it with or give it to others.  Also don't the feds have other 
stuff more important to worry about?
