I have recently aquired a DVD recorder and I want to record on it, transfer the result to my computer, do some simple editing (chop out adverts) and write the results back to a different DVD.
I can transfer the contents of a DVD to my computer using DVD-Rip. I can edit the resultant .VOB files using Avidemux. What I can't find out how to do is to write the results back to a DVD.
One of my problems is that I really don't understand much of the terminology.
Any advice, as non-technical as possible, will be much appreciated.
Possibly the best way to start is with a gui frontend to dvdauthor

The way I understand it, once you have edited the contents of the VOB's (particularly anything that affects their play length) you need to recreate the ifo files. The VOB's themselves are just mpeg video but the ifo's contain the indexing information.
