    Inside the TS folder there should be a VOB file for the extras content.
    You would have to do a bit of trial and error to see which one to open but you should find it.

    If you have a PC around, or Windows running in your mac, you can use an old freeware called DVD Decrypter to extract just the extras

    Thanks all very simple too. One other thing, I’m going to edit a mix of HD 1080i and 4:3 DVD video and b&w stills. Not sure format should I use for final product to dvd? Seems like 16:9 would be one choice?

    Since you are questioning 16×9 or not for your DVD I assume you are considering editing this propsal film in Standard def.
    That actually makes a lot of sense especially if viewing will be on a DVD and as the 4×3 DVD source will suffer like hell getting to HD only to be resized back to SD for a DVD looking much worse for the journey.

    I would probably edit in SD 16×9 and then either pillarbox the 4×3 or zoom in to it if it looks like it can handle it quality wise.

    Plug-ins like Neat Video could help you de-noise the DVD footage.

    Hopefully you will get a commision and then go HD and hopefully get better source for your archive.
