How to enable skip forward during copyrights?

[MrSnake]

I want to backup a DVD5, keeping all assets (copyrights, bumpers, menu, movie...) on the disc.

But, how can I make sure that I can skip or fast-forward the copyrights and startup bumpers?
I have tried IfoEdit and "Remove P-UP's", but it didn't change anything.

cheerio,
MrSnake

Hi MrSnake

I'm not sure if that would work, but you can try ripping all the files from the original DVD with DVD Decrypter.

hi MrSnake,

i dont know if this might help but if i have a DVD that I wana play orginal or a backup regardless if its DVD5, 9, 10 or what ever, what i normally do is...

1. insert the disk

2. disk should automatically start playing

3. I hit stop button repeatidly on my remote control to stop the DVD from playing (normally it is says operation prohibited while disk is playing but i ignore it and keep pressing).

4. Press DVD MENU on my remote and voila im straight to the main menu, skipping all trailers etc etc.

Try giving that a go, i find this a good way of skipping all the crap while retaining the orginal structure of a dvd. By the way my dvd standalone player is a sony dvp-ns400 so it might not work on your, but no harm in trying.

I've actually figured out a little trick if it's on the "original" DVD i'm trying to stop. Continuously pressing stop on my player does nothing..however, if I press stop the SECOND the DVD is recognized by my Philips, then press the menu button, it goes straight to the menu. It doesn't get a chance to recognize those PUOPS...works for me all the time....

Thanks, but it's not my intention to avoid the copyrights.
What I meant was, some DVD's are authored in a way that skip forward is disabled during the copyrights.

I want to backup the entire DVD structure, but with skip forward enabled during copyrights

Have you tried ripping with DVD Decrypter? (deja vu)

[dcsos]

The only program I know that does this with one click is INSTANT COPY
CLICK on DETAILS below the preview window...
go to the Advanced Tab,
and go to the USER PROHIBITIONS TAB
Click DEFAULT
NOW carefully uncheck all the USER PROHIBITIONS that you NEED TO REMOVE from the disc


Also, Manually IFO edit will remove user prohibitions but you need to know which MENUS or Video TS.ifo contains the prohibition..
Or you could do all IFO's on the disc manually..so maybe you missed the right ifo?

Use ifoEdit to go through each .ifo file and click on Remove User Prohibitions. Good luck!

"I have tried IfoEdit and "Remove P-UP's", but it didn't change anything."
Did you try on all the .ifo files, as kagetsu suggested?

If that does not work I really don't know what you could do.

Hey, I got an idea!!!???
What about using DVD Decrypter???

[MrSnake]

I'm sorry, but DVD Decrypter doesn't do the trick.

I don't know what IFO restrictions it has removed, but when I launched the ripped files from DVD the skip-forward function is still blocked during the startup bumper and copyright screen

[ddlooping]

Sorry to hear that, MrSnake. I'm affraid that's all I could think of.

IFOEdit will do this ....

OPen the VIDEO_TS.IFO

Then go to the first link up top...( I am at work and will post the exact name when I get home) YOu have to go down to the 'First Play PGC' and edit the jump command to go to the main movie title set...

The copyright and credits and all that are usually kept in seperate title sets...just set the pre-command jump to the main vts.

I will post more in detail in a couple of hours....

Just to make sure ... did you remove Player user options from all the vts ifo's not just the main movie and video ts ? and did you get vts sector after each one ?

OK... VIDEO_TS.IFO>VMGM_MAT(double click VMGM_MAT)>FIRST PLAY PGC. In the first play PGC scroll down till you get to the PGC COMMAND TABLE. Then right click the 1. Pre command (edit) Set the jump too Title or PGC etc... of the main movie, then Get VTS sectors.

This will let you still keep the copyright material et al.. but will skip past it automatically when you insert the disc...

if you want to manually be able to skip past them...going through every ifo on the dvd and removing P-UP's and then Get VTS after each removal should allow you to that ....
