DVD recorder to DIVX

Can anyone recommend any software (or tell me what I'm doing wrong). I've just got a Pioneer DVD recorder and have recorded numerous things onto the hard drive. I've now put them onto DVD and although they play on the PC fine I want to be able to edit them. I've tried using Ulead Videostudio 10 and inporting them but it doesn't work. Am I using the wrong sort of software or have I done something wrong. I've burnt things onto DVD+RW. Should I have burned them onto ordinary DVD+/-? Sorry for all the questions but I'm confused.

    Do you want to edit? - Do you want linear or non-linear editor?

    or

    Do you want to re-encode your MPEG2 (DVD) files into MPEG4 (divx) ? -try autoGK

    I have a similar dilemma. My understanding is that you would need to convert the files within the DVD (VOB, Video_TS ....etc) into MPEG for authoring and editing. Divx is a compressed format (with loss of quality) and is suitable for mass storage but not for editing. I am still looking for an easy and reliable way to convert various DVD formats (DVDR, DVDRW, DVDRAM) into MPEG not only for editing ut to archive my movies on hard drive. It is not easy finding something that would do the job properly and without complications.

    I have used AVI2DVD to convert Divx to DVD (the other way round) and it is the most awesome program. Just wish there was something similar to do what I am trying to do with DVDs.
    Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????

    Sorry I'm confused by the terminology. I want to edit the adverts etc. out of the recordings and then put them into divx or something.
