I'm doing a report on racism and for my presentation I would like to show the class the movie "american History X".... Is there anyway I can edit out the sex scene, the shower scene, and bleep out alot of the F bombs?

if you have a mac. you can use visual hub to change the file type and then edit the scenes out in imovie.

Le Jalapeno, maybe you could do something of the same sort with a pc. i just know that the file type will have to be changed with some sort of software to be able to edit.

Is this for a high school class? I'd talk to your teacher about this, because this movie is pretty bad content wise.

Chad H, very true my military history teacher won't let us watch saving private ryan and barely let us watch the patriot

i agree with erikmonty,
it will take some more time but it would be your own video and not just excerpts of one already made
plus if its high school you might get bonus marks for taking the time to make your own movie about racism that exists in a sport that is important to you

Chad H, It is for highschool, but our teacher has let us watch saving private ryan

He said that if I get an edited version it should be ok

Hecti036, I don't have a video camera, or any friends that really appreciate wakeskating or wakeboarding

Le Jalapeno, American history x has been on tv quite a bit lately. Look through tv guide and set your vcr for when it comes on. Don't some dvd players have parental controls?? do these skip "R rated" material or just not permit the viewing of r rated dvds?

You could do what everyone has been saying and rip the file from a dvd and go through with video editing software and manually cut everything out then print to dvd. But imo it's not really worth the trouble.
