How to remove commercials or other unwanted footage from MPEG files?

You may want to do away with those annoying advertisements in between your favorite recorded TV shows or explicit scenes in a movie not suitable for family viewing. In this guide I will show you how to remove commercials or unwanted scenes from MPEG files without hampering the audio or video quality.

Tool: MPEG Video Wizard DVD

MPEG Video Wizard DVD is a frame accurate MPEG editor which comes with DVD authoring and full AC3 audio support. It is nice, especially for those capturing MPEG with ATI or Hauppauge cards, or from files made on DVD recorders. It will edit MPEG files without degradeing the quality at all. It’s not freeware, but don’t worry because you can try it for a month. You can download it from here.

Now start the program and let’s begin?

Guide 1. How to remove commercials from MPEG files without re-encoding?

Step1. Drag your video file from its folder into the “Input” monitor.

Step2. Right click in the input monitor and select “BookMark Browser” from the context menu. This will bring up the bookmark browser window.

Step3. Press “BlankFades” button in the Bookmarks window to search the blank fades. When it is done, you should have quite a few “bookmarks” of scenes where fades have been detected. We will then drag the video onto the timeline using the “Drag” button – just click on this button, hold it and then drag it onto the timeline’s video track (the top most track). You can now close the Bookmark Browser window.

Step4. Notice now on the timeline the many sections where the BlankFades function divided the video whenever there was a fade. You can double click on each section to play the video in the “Input” monitor and make sure it is a commercial break. Make sure to check any small segments just before and after, as these may be part of the commercial break too. Double click each clip to play it in the input monitor, then delete the commercial clips.

Step5. To delete the commercial breaks, simply click on the section you want to delete and press Shift+Delete key combination to remove it (or right-click on the commercial break, select “Shifted Delete” from the context menu). Repeat this for every commercial break.

Step6. Preview the output to make sure everything is fine by using the playback controls in the “Output” monitor. When you’re done, click the red dot button on the timeline to export all the clips to a new, commercial free, MPEG file.

Guide 2. How to edit out unwanted scenes without re-encoding?

Step1. Drag your video file from its folder onto video track (the top most track) of the timeline.

Step2. Drag the edit line to the start of unwanted scenes – you can zoom in and/or use mose wheel / arrow keys to find exact spot, and then press CRTL+Q to split the video (or press the split button on the timeline). Then locate the end of the commercial break in the same way and split again.

Step3. Click on the section you want to delete and press Shift+Delete key combination to remove it(or right-click on the unwanted part, select “Shifted Delete” from the context menu).

Step4. Repeat 2 and 3 for all unwanted parts, then preview the output to make sure everything is fine by using the playback controls in the “Output” window. When you’re done, click the red dot button on the timeline to export all the clips to a new MPEG file.
