It may sound selfish/ignorant of me, but i
would like to keep all my footage in tact and ready to use at a moments notice so that i don't have to avisynth my VOBs again to make a new project. I like to have access to all my footage available so that i have a lot to pick from. It just seems like it would take even longer to extract clips and then when i'm editing be like "aww crap, if only i had more of this clip!" (I know that would just be a matter of knowing exactly what i want from the episode but i can guarantee that it's gonna happen).
So, Mirko, there's no method at all?
If not, then i appreciate your advice...really.

Almost as hard as fighting a Holy Paladin.
