 Q. How do I watch these on my TV, not just on my computer?
-A. You could burn a new DVD with it.  First create it on your hard drive.  Then use some burning utility.
-  Dvd Flick is a good one for windows.  There's a screencast of using it within: http://rogerdpack.t28.net/sensible-cinema
-  DeVeDe almost might work for windows users: http://www.majorsilence.com/devede though it looks less user friendly.
-  For OS X : iDVD might work well.
-  You might be able to move your laptop over to near your TV and hook it in from there.  
-  Or buy a very long cord and plug it in as an extra monitor from your desktop.
-  You could buy a projector, attach it to your computer as a display, and then use that to display the video.

 == Motivation ==
 
 The initial motivation for the project was that I dislike deity profanity in movies.
 And really any profanity is jarring, if you're not used to it in real life, and can
 put you a bit on edge when you watch a movie.  
-Also sometimes only certain scenes (read sex scenes) in movies are offensive to me,
-and don't contribute to the overall plot, and I'd rather not watch a movie that has them.  
-But I still want to be able to watch movies at all :)
+Also sometimes producers put in certain scenes (read: sex scenes) just to get a rating.
+I don't want just those scenes, but still want to be able to watch the movies :)
 
 I tried Clearplay (a realtime filtering DVD player)
-but (for me) it didn't seem to cut it.  It costs money monthly (I'm too cheap to pay--and many
-many other people don't use it because of that...).  Their
-filters sometimes don't cut out all unwanted content (ex: Saints and

+filters sometimes don't cut out all unwanted content (ex: Saints and
+Soldiers left profanity in...which wasn't what I had
 expected).  Others have noted that sometimes their edit timings (or perhaps DVD players)
 are slightly mismatched so that it will mute sections just previous to profanity, while
 not muting the profanity itself.  Clearplay apparently also runs a rather 
 confusing subscription policy, I'm told [1], as well as selling DVD players that 
-seem to be a bit lackluster at times [2].
+are a bit lackluster at times [2].
 Clearplay also has little community collaboration/review (though you can email them feedback).
-They no longer seem to have a "request a filter" option, though they used to.
-They also don't have filters for all movies that I, at times, would like to watch edited (Condorman and Tron
-lacking last time I checked...probably because they are too
-obscure.) Also, some people watch movies only on computer, and they
-no longer have a computer player, only DVD players.  They also don't edit streamed
-online movies either (last time I checked, anyway).  So overall I

-I just pass in a playlist, it does all the work for me, without real-time tracking.
-There are a few released versions that did this.

+You can create a delete list for sensible cinema to use against whatever DVD you want.
+
+A delete list (currently) lists sections you want muted or skipped.  Here is an example
+
+"mutes" => [
+  "02:02:15.0" , "02:02:25", "a muted demo section",
+],
+
+"blank_outs" => [
+  "02:02:00.0" , "02:02:10", "blanked out demo section",
+],
+
+"name" => "Greatest Story Ever Told",
+"url" => "http://movies.netflix.com/WiPlayer?movieid=60004240&trkid=2430625",
+
+You can see more examples in the "edit decision list" folder, here: https://github.com/rdp/sensible-cinema/tree/master/zamples
+
+To create a new one, for a DVD, the steps might look like this:
+
+open Sensible cinema ("edit/create mode...bat")
+
+insert your DVD, click "Create new delete list for DVD" button
+
+Now you want to add timestamps and then test them to make sure they're accurate, using the various buttons.
+Just edit the file, save it, then choose the button you want, to test out your new deletion.
+
+You can use the "Watch DVD unedited" button
+to save time, as it allows you to watch while it "grabs" it to the hard drive simultaneously (note: you'll
+probably need at least a dual core processor for this to work well).
+
+Note that you can also add timestamps then click "Watch DVD on computer realtime" to avoid having 
+to rip it to your hard drive ever.  This is slightly less accurate, though maybe faster.  See also "pointers" below.
+
+After you're done, you can submit your newly created delete list back to the project 
+(so others can use it) by using the Upload button and sending a message with it.
+Note also that if you know how, you could fork the code from github, commit changes, and 
+submit a pull request if you desire to contribute, as well (for example more delete lists, etc.)
+Email is probably easier though :)
+
+A few pointers:
+
+ You can make several different "delete lists" per DVD, just use different filenames.
+    For example one could take out all profanity, and another take out profanity and also remove violence, or whatever.
+    Basically different levels of deletion :)
+ You can also just watch a DVD (using any DVD player), and get timestamps that way, before creating a delete list.
+ A good computer program for this is "smplayer" (the [ and ] keys control playback speed, and right and left, 
+   page up and page down buttons control seeking), and you can also turn on subtitles to help locate profanity.  
+   You can also do the same thing using VLC player, except note that VLC's timestamps are a bit inaccurate [1].
+ Also note that you should probably rewatch the whole thing when you're done, to double check and see 
+  if you got the time signatures right (using "create DVD file on local hard drive" button).
+ Also note that you can add your timing information to IMDB's parental guide pages about movies.  
+  This can help users of other than sensible cinema with editing their movies.
+ Also note that you don't need to "grab" the DVD to your hard drive to edit.  You can just setup the 
+  EDL to work right [ http://goo.gl/yMfqX ] then use math to setup the correct time signatures.

+A description of the program can be found <a href="https://github.com/rdp/sensible-cinema/blob/master/README">here</a>.

+Now open the newly extracted "sensible-cinema-x.x.x" folder,
+and run the file "run sensible cinema.bat".
+You will be initially prompted to accept the license agreement and also install a few (non included, separate) dependencies.
+Now insert a DVD you have, and choose from sensible cinema's available options (buttons).
+Enjoy!
+
+Sensible cinema is currently for windows only, ping me if you want this changed.
+
+If you want to create your own "delete list" for a DVD that doesn't have one yet, 
+see the <a href="https://github.com/rdp/sensible-cinema/blob/master/how_to_create_your_own_delete_lists.txt">how to create</a> file for instructions on creating a new delete list. <!-- this is actually a short line -->
