During film copy, which one of the two large files should I chose to make sure I am just getting the widescreen version of the DVD?
Thanks,
Allan

Usually a disc only has a fullscreen or widescreen version of the movie. If your disc has both, the widescreen is usually the smaller file (or it has been with my experience). You can always try selecting one of the files, but only *one* of the chapters, and then watch to see if you picked the right one.

Disks that are both wide and full you will see two sets of "movie" .vobs denoted by a list of .vob's that are 1024megs

double click on the dvd to view the video_ts contents
View as list

look down at the file sizes and look for two sets of vob lists that are 1024 megs

IF you have two, pick one and drag a .vob to VLC to view it. You can see if its full or widescreen

now typically if you were to throw away the set you dont want, the dvd is less than 4.4 gigs, so you dont need to use dvd2one. You can replace the .vob's that are fullscreen in your case with empty text files renamed to match the .vob name. in this way you are tricking the dvd into thinking it has all the files when in fact it doesnt

look to my advanced dvd to dvdr tutorial for more explanation

Play it with Apple DVD Player and open window - info. That will tell you what title / chapter(s) is which.

No need for empty text files, you can just trash the VOBs you don't want and burn to DVD-R. Just don't select menu options for the tracks you've removed, regardless of whether you've added text files or not.
