howto rip dvd extras to another dvd?

[qwik3r2]

I looked around and did a search and came up short, so no flames please.

I wish to rip dvd extras to a seperate disk so that i may preserve as much quality on the main movie as possible. I have all the fancy tools, dvd shrink, dvdrebuilder, pretty much everything else. Anyway how do i go about doing it? Can i rip the menu's for extras and the content to another dvd or when ripping just extras does it just retain the content?

I had a thought while typing this and it was blanking out all content (main movie and main menu etc) but the extras using dvd shrink, kind of reverse working. The only thing i'm wondering is once i remove everything and leave just the extras menu and content when i pop the dvd in it will just load up the extras menu correct? Than i'd blank out the "main menu" buttons etc. Any help would be great if i am on the right track.

use vobblanker to blank out the main movie

it will leave everything else intact


dont bother trying to blank out the main menu

oh... so many way to go from point A to point B....

If it were me... I would use:
Dvddecrypter to rip to HD
Vob blanker to blank out main movie.... save to another drive.
(optional) MenuEdit to fix buttons.
(if nessesary) Use Dvd Shrink... to shrink
Test with PowerDvd.
Burn with Nero.

Thanks for the responses guys.

This may be alittle off topic but i thought i'd ask anyway. What i am attempting now is splitting a dvd and on the second disc retaining the main menu with scene selections, however i obviously have scenes that point to disc 1 and i'd rather not have them, is there a way to edit the video of menu or the entire menu so i can remove such components w/o making it a still menu? Thanks.

Oh i also forgot to mention that i tried to blank out the first few scene selection screens with dvdremake however after doing a test compile it took a while for the correct scene selection menu to come up, i guess its filtering through the blank ones? Is there anyway to REMOVE these things intstead of just blanking them out?

If you don't need menus then DVD Shrink will do just fine.Reauthor mode.

There seems to be some contradiction here as to what you want; you say to rip main menu and extras to a disc while preserving as much quality as possible for the main movie!!! Which bit do you actually intend on keeping? I'll assume you want the movie as you wish for it to have maximum quality!

Why not just reauthor in DVDShrink and preserve just the movie?????? Strip it down to single audio and delete unnecessary subtitles. Go major mad and then alter start and stop of movie to chop off credits. This will then give you minimum compression and thus 'maximum' quality.

Looks like you want everything, then you just need to split the dvd into 2 dvd5. You can use Vob blanker to do that. Blank enough from the end of the movie to bring the size down to about 4.3 GB then make a 2nd disc by blanking enough from the begining of the movie to get 4.3GB . For the 2nd disc it is going to play few seconds blank screens going through the begining of the movie that you blanked out not much but if you don't like this you can use infoEdit to make it jump to next working cell so when when you hit play on 2nd disc it will start from the cutting point.

Ok sorry guys that i went off in many diff directions, thanks for the help though.


What i was primarily thinking of doing was putting the main menu and movie on 1 cd, than putting the extras on another, you guys helped me with that by telling me to use dvdshrink and blanking out what i didn't want.

Now the second thing i was interested in doing was splitting a movie into 2, i guess using dvdfab and preserving the menus for the movie on both dvds. However i wanted to be able to remove various scene selection screens that were not longer valid or that would correspond to the second or first disc. I know that i could blank them in dvdremake but when i do and run a test it takes a while for them to load, as i said i guess they are filtering through the blank cells. Now is there a way to delete these cells rather than just blank them so that it doesn't take time to reach my desired screen? Thanks.

if i want to keep extras i make two discs

im pretty simple so i like to keep it simple

first disc i use dvdshrink in reauthor and do a movie only backup

second disc i use vobblanker to blank out the main movie, everything else is left intact. https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=247372


i wouldnt be using dvdshrink to blank things out, it dosnt do it properly.

above I explained how to make 2 disc, just I should have said use PGCedit to fix the 10 seconds going through the blank cells on disc 2. Run VobBlanker twice each time output to disc1 and disc2 folder

When using vobBlanker to blank scenes i can only blank chapters where they start correct and say not in the middle of a chapter or during a blank scene? Is this possible?

I used DVD Remake to remove the movie and make it so it takes you right to the special features menu instead of the regular menu.

[qwik3r2]

you can do that by just having the special features menu as the only menu correct/
