[Denvers Dawgs]

Is it possible to use the original dvd menu( but take out the Warnings, trailers and junk that appear on the dvd before the dvds main menu appears?

I know I feel like an UBE NOOB right now.

RipIt4Me -> select movie and menus only, then check the little box that says "jump to main menu" (or something like that). Very easy.

Edit-----
Just re-read your post and noticed that this is for a series.... I use VOB Blanker to blank out all the stuff I don't want, then it pretty much jumps to the menu - there might be a slight pause, but only a second or two.

Yeah, i usually do "movie only" also, figure if i want to see all the extra crap i'll dig out the original (rare) but if i have one that will fit a single layer with little or no compression i use it to get rid of the starting crap.

Great thanks guys. Does anyone know which guide for vob blanker I should be looking for for what j1d10t mentioned he does?

[Noahtuck]

It's pretty easy.... it has a preview window so you know what you are either blanking or deleting... if you just get rid of the preview's & warning's it jump's right to the menu on it's own, because you just got rid of whatever is before the menu 8)

If you're not sure what is coming before the menu just watch it for a min. in a software player.

Thanks for all the help guys, it's very much appreciated

Ok using dvdshrink to take out warnings, trailers, extras, and then vob blanker to blank them out I got a working dvd that goes directly to the original dvd menu.

Another queston, does blanking these extras out, actually remove them from the new dvd Thus giving more space for the actual movies, or does it just skip them, but still have them using the same amount of dvd space as original dvd?

Yes it removes from new DVD and skips original.......soo more space for main movie in new dvd......
