dual sided dvd

[Marco33]

I'd like to use dvd2one to convert a dual dvd to one dvd. I found a guide but it needs "Vob Edit". Don't see it in the tools section. Anybody know of a better program to do this or a guide.

I think you need to use the Force to help you with your understanding of Riping/converting and burning.

If you have DVD2ONE you have the most important part.

Insert your DVD9 into your drive.
Use DVD Drecrypter to RIP it to your HD
Use DVD2ONE to convert it to DVD5 (Is very easy. Needs no manual. only 3 clicks)
Burn the result to DVD.

DONE.

You should try using your eyes. I said dual sided NOT dual layerd.

Marco33,

They have VobEdit over at doom9.org if you dont find the guide you are looking for.

I no expert but I think you could do what you want using DVD2one and IFOedit.

Maybe rip both sides of the DVD then rename the VOB files on the second side to start where the VOB files on the first side left off. Now move all the files into a VIDEO_TS folder and use IFOedit. Like I said I'm no expert and have never done this however I believe it's possible.

You can find vobedit over on www.doom9.net I havn't done this yet myself. I have a couple I will need to back up soon.

Tried that. DVD2ONE only see's half the movie, the first side.

Thanks everybody.

What I was thinking is a variation on this method from a post at this forum.

"I've tried succefully packed special features with the main movie and using DVD2ONE to compress and fit on one disc. This is simple:

After you ripped all the files to a VIDEO_TS folder and viewed the vob files to determine what you want to keep, simply delete all the rest files including all BUP and IFO files. If your main movie does not start with VTS_01_0.VOB then renumber it to 01 and simply renumber the extras follow the last movie file number.

Next, launch Ifoedit and click on "create IFOs" and bring in the first VOB file and save it to a VIDEO_TS folder (you can check same as source). Now you have a complete and ready VIDEO_TS folder to be burnt. If it's over 4.3GB then just use DVD2ONE to compress it to 4.3GB.

This method does not allow you to have menu, it simply takes the extras and make them becomes chapters, so you still can use chapter selection and fast forward. But at least it keeps what you want with the movie on one disc, and it's easy. This method will also allows you to creat your own DVD with different VOB files, simply renumber them in order and use Ifoedit to get new IFOs."

Thanks for the info guys. It worked great.

DVD2ONE see's the whole movie now.

I did notice that I didn't have to tell ifo edit to redo the ifo's audio file to 6 channels. The guide says it should show that the new ifo says 1 channel and it would have to be changed to 6.

The guide is for an older version of ifoedit so that might be it.

Another question on this copying of files, is DVD decryptor only needed if you make and ISO copy and not just copy the files direct from the disk??
Also with the above conversion, will this also retain all menus and extras on the disk??
Thanks for the help

You need it, it decrypts dvd's. A special code that make them unreadable.

Yes I believe you could, but I use up all the disk space for the movie and just make a small quick menu.

Thanks for the help

Question-dvd2one, If I just put the main movie on the disk with NO menu what is the max setting in dvd2one for file size?

[Marco33]

Did a dry run on Goodfellas. Looks good but, if I fast foward during the movie it jumps back to the begining.


HMM...

Why do you call yourself "Backup Master" when you haven't learned to backup double-sided DVDs?

[Marco33]

Actually I'm not backing up Double sided DVD's.

I trying a workaround for another problem.

It's just easier to post the question this way.

Good question tho.

[Supreme2k]

I wasn't trying to troll or anything like that. It just seems that this question is asked quite a bit. When someone points the person in the direction of the derrow tutorial, they still want more help. Some of them also claim to be "experts". I've been able to do a few discs that way with (almost) no problem, and I absulutely suck at all of this video stuff, but I'm learning.

I agree. Sometimes you have to post the wrong question to get the right answer

[Marco33]

No prob.

I did say thanks above.

To me that says "I'm good now" I can look for the rest.

I've just been posting followup's to help others.

How are you doing with your backup's?

[leezal]

Ive backed up my two sided goodfella's dvd and thought i would explain how i did it for anyone out there having probs with two sided dvd's.

1.copy all main movie files from both sides with dvd decrypter set to file mode.

2.check which is first part of the film then rename secound part of the film to follow on from the first set(ie) VTS_01_5,vts_01_6 etc.then put them all in the same folder.discard the ifo's if you copied these to as you dont need them.

3.open ifo edit and click create ifo's then seek to the first vob file and wait while ifo edit creates the video_ts and ifo and bup files.

4.start dvd2one,select movie only etc and wait while it makes your vob files small enought to fit on a blank dvd.

5.open ifo edit AGAIN and click create ifos but this time select the dvd2one version of your 2 sided film.

6.use dvd decrypter to make your film region free by clicking on tools,ifo,region patch,region free and then locate the vts_01_0.ifo file.

thats it when finished the film will manually seek without skipping to odd parts of the film and all the chapters will work correctly.All thats left is to burn to your blank media.

could this also be used to put 2 movies onto 1 dvd???

You should try using your eyes. I said dual sided NOT dual layerd.

You should read you own posts, you said "dual DVD". What's someone supposed to make of that?

[FOO]

I don't think you guys are making sure that
the VOB-IDs on the second side of the DVD
are different (and larger) than the VOB -IDs
on the first side. You may luck out and get
a DVD where that is already true, but most
of the ones I've done have VOB-ID 0 on both sides.
You have use vobedit to change them.
