20th Century Fox trailers upon inserting a DVD

[BobbyBlaze]

Hi y'all!

I've searched the forums but couldn't find an answer to this problem. I'm sure I can't be the only person completely p***ed off at the trailers 20th Century Fox put on their DVD's, so you wwon't just be helping me but the silent majority as well. Does anyone know a way (perhaps with IFOEDIT?) that these can be removed so that the main menu screen appears when you insert a disk instead of having to press the menu button to get to it? Not only would this be far nicer, but it would also mean a space saving of up to 400mb a disk! I normally like to split to 2 DVDr's to maintain original quality.

Would any of you like to look good by sharing you wealth of experience and knowledge??

While I'm on the subject, POWERDVD is far to clever for its own good and happily plays ripped DVDs that would cause a set top player to continually search for missing .VOBs. Does anyone know of a player that emulates the way a set-top DVD player would react to save burning coasters.

Cheers!!

Lookup information on the forums regarding the DVDXCOPY opening splash. The info there is exactly the same as what you are looking to do.

Yes Ifoedit can do what you ask, but maybe hit
problems also, Are you really wanting menu's???
cause ifoedit can make ur files menu-less if you
really wanted too...

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to reply!

I will check DVDXCOPY out in the forums and see if this little beauty can come up with the goods. Thanks for the suggestion

Personally, I do like the interactive menu side of DVD, it's on of the things that distinguish it from its impoverished VHS cousin, so I admit I'd rather put up with the trailers than do without the menus. Sorry

Anyone got any goods on a dvd software player that can better emulate the results that you would get on a standalone player if you burnt a disk?

Cheers again guys!

Disable prohibited user ops when ripping and press MENU when you put in disc. Problem solved.

I've always been partial to WinDVD.

I have co-developed a new tool that is capable of such a thing

can you tell me if the page has pics or not please?

Where does your logo reside? In a menu in your VIDEO_TS.IFO? or is it a Title in a single PGC titleset?

Play your logo in Ifoedit and monitor the status window during play. Does it say VMG or Title?

If it's in a menu, do a "delete playback" on it in IfoEdit and then strip that menu's VOB ID in Menu Extras. Remember to save.

If it's a single PGC Title Titleset, you can use this guide to help you out.

What a great suggestion. Can this be done in DVD Decrypter? If so, could you say how please? I looked in the settings under tools, but didn't see it as an option.

Thanks,

Yes the previews make me angry, yes the multi level, multi level menus do the same.

And yes there are pictures on the web page.

words well spoken my friend, you know exactly what you are talking about

there seems to be a guy over at Doom9 who knows all about in and out's about Ifoedit and I ain't talking about me :P, but he does have some of the best guides you could ever want regarding DVD backups

this guy is COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLl 8)

who's the IFO Guru here?
