How Do I Keep The Original Motion Menu When Re-Authoring?

[Benn_Black]

I am trying to author a movie with the original motion menu. I have extracted the video files and removed some audio tracks with DVD Shrink but when I try burning I get error messages saying the files are not compliant. I have also tried DVD Fab (copy complete movie) but it keeps splitting the movie onto 2 DVDs event though the files are approximatly 4.4GB. What's the solution?

Don't re-author. Do a backup, and just make any unwanted materials stills.

[Benn_Black]

I don't want any stills.

[Shudder]

Then you also don't want menus

[Benn_Black]

I want to keep the motion menus but I do not want to keep the extras. Is there alternative software?

[Shudder]

You should be able to do it all with dvdshrink, and when the other person said stills, they meant turn the extras into stills, not the menus. You can also remove audio tracks as need be. Do not use reauthor mode - stick to whole disc.

What I mean is I do not want the extras in any form, I just want to keep the menu and the main movie.

Benn_Black,

You can try DVDstripper with IfoEdit and DVDDecrypter.

OR

Try DvdReMake. Both ways work great. You can remove nearly whatever you don't want.

Then using DVDshrink after either of the above methods allows you to remove any unwanted audio.

VobBlanker or Titlesetblanker can be tried. (haven't tried these 2 programs yet)

clonedvd 2

Yeap CloneDVD 2 will keep the movie only and you simply check a little box to "preserve Menu". 21 day free trail along with AnyDVD (slysoft.com) to take out the protection.

Thanks for all the help guys! I'll let you know how I get on.

Clone DVD 2 works a treat.

[MACCA350]

InstantCopy will do this too

[jaxxboss]

CLONE DVD , A rudimentary search would have led you to this conclusion longggggggggg ago.

DVDStripper - can be used to remove cells in menus (get rid of those non-skippable warnings and logos), and remove individual chapters. But... it can screw up multi-angle titles.

CloneDVD - can only remove entire titles and audio tracks.

InstantCopy - Do not use this to remove titles if you can avoid it. Just try removing one of the pre-menu titles (one of the titles that play before the main menu appears, such as a warning or logo) and I guarantee that not all DVD players will play that disc (PowerDVD will, IFOEdit won't, some standalones will, some won't).

I prefer CloneDVD as it is quick and easy, but I also use DVDStripper, depending on the DVD.

DVDRemake handles multi-angle, no worries. Also you can do partial titles.
