DVD Shrink-control the duration of the still image display

[samifox]

Im using DVD Shrink 3.2.When shrink a dvd to fit my DVD-9 media I used to changhe the unnecessary titles with a still image. The problem is that the duration of the still image display is like the duration of the removed title.

How can I control the duration of the still image display?

Thanks

You can't. If you want, you can completely 'blank' out that content of the dvd, using VOBblanker.

Couldn't you simply press "Next" on your remote and skip it?

There's more to it than just that, though. Let's say he wants to use a still for an hour of the dvd. Even though it's just a still, it uses up FAR more space than if it'd been a 1 second still or if it'd been blanked altogether. So that can equal alot of wasted space for a still image. What I've done is created a pure black still image, it still takes up some space, but it takes up far less than a still with graphics on it. The larger the graphics, the more space it's going to take up. I've also made custom stills that say 'see disc 2' in very small print. That way it's more than just a blank image, but at least it serves some purpose without taking up the space that a fancy graphic would take up.

I think the Still Image option is a striped feature and I was stupid to use it with so many dvds I need to re-author.. Don’t get me wrong I love DVD Shrink but I learned in the hard way its limitation.

Still Image without PBC control is a dumb thing.

Now…I got a dvd that was used with DVD Shrink but as a beginner I just felt the unwanted section with a still image and I get long display of the still image.

I want to re-author it….i like to take the original VTS and link to the other titles. What is the most smartest way to do it? Is DVD-Lab my best bet?
