keep menu and get rid of extras

[pickup]

are there programs or methods i can use to get rid of all the extras and still keep the funcational menu?



thanks!

The one that comes to mind right off is Vobblanker. Turn your annoying extras into a few seconds of black screen without messing up the menus at all. If that wasn't cool enough, it's also free.

There's also TitleSetBlanker... Free too.

P.S. First post eh? Welcome to the forums and the site.

for the VobBlanker :

when it take out the extras it will also disable the links to it right?


thanks!

[Matt D]

No the links remain, but when you activate them it just shows a second of black and then back to the menu again.

If you wna to disable the links, you might be able to do it with MenuEdit (not sure if it does this, but it's other functionality suggests it may...).

Or, IfoEdit may also be able to do the job - again, not sure but knowing what it can do suggests it might...

yea with menu edit it deletes the link, so although the button still is there, there's nothing to select. i would recommend just using vobblanker, ir removes the video and as matt d said, it shows a black screen for a second or so, this only takes up only about 400kb.

i got the VOBBLANKER program.


so how do I know which files to process and which to skip?



thanks

Just use the preview function to see what each video stream is. One will be the movie, the rest will be deleted scenes, interviews and previews. Once you preview something you want to blank, just use the "blank" feature to blank it.
Once this is done, choose your new output folder and hit Process. Vobblanker will then create a new titleset with all the extras replaces with a second of black video.

Nero Recode can do that too but it seems Vobblanker does a better job. If I still want to use Nero Recode to rip I assume I run Vobblanker first and then Nero, right?

You can do it easily with DvdReMake.
