I'd like to suggest some changes to noki's guide "DVDR with original
menus...easy and FREE"
<https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=185976>

Tools:

DVDShrink 3.0b5
CloneDVD Trial (optional)
burning app


1. Rip all files to the HDD
2. In Shrink Open FIle and select VTS_xx.IFO of the main movie instead of
the usual VIDEO_TS.IFO manager.
3. Notice EXTRAS are not included.
4. Shrink as usual if needed...DO NOT RE-AUTHOR!!...click Back-Up.
5. Go to the folder with your shrunken files and see that VIDEO_TS.IFO is
missing. if you mistakenly burn these file now your DVDR will not play on a
standalone. IMPT NOTE: if the fileset is not VTS_01.xxx you must manually
change it so that it is.
6. Copy Video manager files from the ORIGINAL movie folder (VIDEO_TS.xxx).
7. Put empty VTS_xx_xx.xxx files into the folder with the shrinken movie
instead of the original VTS_xx_xx.xxx Make sure that you have an empty VTS_xx_xx.xxx for every original one. For instance, if in the original movie you had from VTS_03_01 to VTS_03_04, you put 4 empty VTS files with appropriate names. (You can run CloneDVD to make an empty VTS file you can re-use).
8. (optional) Run DVDShrink or any Software DVD Player to see if there are any errors (any files missing)
8. burn contents of folder.

As a result, you will get all the original menus without extras. The menus will play first and standalone player will not freeze if you choose an option which was removed.

This works for me so far.
