Not very lucky. I can do the same with K3B. No, I want to chop off
the front of one of the video segments, start the modified DVD with
the rest of that same segment, keep the metadata, and keep the
simple-but-better-than-I-can-design menu structure of the disk.
That sounds hard to do without a lot of knowledge of DVD structure
or some capable tools that will lead me through the process.
I downloaded the k9copy source, did not find any documentation, and
the author is no longer supports the tool. I'll keep looking, thanks!

P.S. Indeed, I may just pay the original author of the disk $$$ to
rebuild it for me. The problem is he doesn't answer phone or email.
