Cropping with DVD Shrink

[KSP_RobRoy]

I'm backing up my Road To Perdition PAL and the movie is just a couple of Mb to large.

So i need to short down the movie with 1 min or something like that

So my question is: Will the movie work properly when cutting out the last minute of text in DVD Shrink?

Anyone who tried this?

Just do a custom compression and set one ot the extras to be a "still picture", that's what I do.

[KSP_RobRoy]

Everything is stripped, even the subtitles, except Swedish and English

but the movie is still about 15 megs to large, so i need to cut out just a little bit

I have used the crop function in DVD Shrink many times now to lose the credits. It works fine, and has saved me compressing a movie quite a few times. The other programs ( DVD2ONE, IC7, etc ) are going to have to use the feature or get left behind by a FREE program.

FUNNY. This AM I started backing up the same movie.

I think that I cut off the begginning and credits. I like to start with the title and end with the last frame. Sound like you don't need the guide.

On that movie I dropped the DTS audio track. It was pretty big and 5.1 is good enough for me.

I really hate PowerDVD. It doesn't accuratly reflect what the movie will act like if burned. Sometimes PowerDVD will give me the wrong audio, no audio, freak out at the menu.

Hi,

I'm using DVDShrink to cut the "intros" and the credits without problem as well.
I'm wondering is it possible to crop several scenes /that you don't like for ex./ from the movie?

[AarontheRipper]

I believe that it would be possible to cut out a few scenes that you don't want with DVDShrink, but I think that it would be a pretty lengthy process. To do this I think you would have to split the movie into several pieces, the first from the beginning of the movie to the beginning of the scene that you want to cut. Then you'd have to start the program over, with your original complete dvd and make a piece that starts just after that first scene that you cut and goes to the beginning of the next scene that you would want to cut. Anyway, after you had all these pieces, you could join them using vobedit, and then create some new ifo's using ifoedit, and then you have your edited movie. I've never actually done this, but the logic seems right. I'm sure, however, that there are some editing programs that could do this whole thing with much more ease.

[Gregg]

Which program/s do you have in mind?

Aaron the ripper, I just did what you are describing to my Spiderman DVD. It has a couple of parts that were too scary for my kids so I make several "crops" with DVDShrink. I think renamed the VOBs _01, _02, etc and created IFOs with IFO edit.

It worked really well.
