how do I go about doing this - (What application)

I know I can rip the DVD to mpg4 then edit with Quicktime, and then
probably use iDVD and/or iMovie to burn the resulting edited file back
to DVD (for play on standard DVD player [on a TV])

But... this seems like a lot of extra and wasted effort.

is there some rogram that wil allow me to edit the VOB directly?

Thanks

Not really. VOBs are really MPEG streams with a whole lot of other
restrictions/baggage. MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 are designed as transport
streams, not for editing, and there are few tools to deal with them
directly.

I don't know any Mac programs that edit VOBs directly.

Is there any way you can get your ahnds on the raw video used to create
the DVD in the first place? I think you have to go back to the person
who created it and edit the raw DV stream.

Luckily, DV streams are easy to edit and you already have the tools.
