unwanted material removal

[samifox]

Hi

I want to do a very simple task but I cant find a way to it.

I want to remove from my DVD all the copyrighting, commercials and promos clips and have a pure DVD with the movie and its VTS ONLY.

Now …with DVDShrink I cant really change the DVD structure so instead of unwanted clips I can end up with still images instead. I don’t like it.

Please someone tell if there is a way to completely remove unwanted clips and not just sub it with other material?

Thanks
S

DVDShink with Reauthor option will create a DVD with just the movie but with no menus either..

Baldrick pointed you in the right direction. Read the guides. There are many tools available that will do what you are asking.

A few are TitlesetBlanker, VOBBlanker, PGCEdit. Do a search for these tools in the Tools section and read some of the guides.

VobBlanker fro example does excetly what DVDShrink does. it will replace the unwanted material with a blank screen. what if i have 10 unwanted clips? than my blank screen will be 10 x 2 sec?

You have to use reauthor and just add the main movie file. Then hit backup. Your trying to use full disc which is not what you are wanting

VobBlanker does not do exactly what DVDShrink does. DVDShrink will replace material with a blank screen, but the blank screen will remain for ever how long the material is.

On the other hand, VOBBlanker will replace the material with a blank screen, but will also dump the contents of the VOB - resulting in a blank screen which will only play for a second.

You need to read the guides.

im using VOBBlanker .how can i see the video that represent the title? so i can know what im blanking?

How many more times. DVDShrink, Re-author, drag main movie only into left hand window, Backup. That's it, no menus, no copyright notices, no extras, no blank spaces, just the movie.

He's talking about DVDShrink, Re-author. It does exactly what you say you are trying to do.

[Richard_G]

I don't know if I'm mistaken, I may be. But, in your original post you said you wanted to keep just the main movie and none of the copyright notices, etc. DVDShrink in Re-Author mode will allow you to do just that.

I have backed up all my commercial DVDs using this method as I have no interest in the other rubbish that is put on to fill the disk up, just the movie.

Select a VOB in the top panel; the VOB's details appear in the lower panel. Select an item in the lower panel and click the Prev/Cut button. Once you've located what you want to blank, just click the Blank button.

WTF!

Richard_G amongst others is right. I backed up a dvd for the first time this weekend using DVDshrink and Decrypter. Worked first time, no menu, warnings extras or ads just the movie and it fitted (just) on a single layer disc with no alteration.

Hi

Richard_G…

Im my original post I sad that I want only the movie and its VTS.when I said VTS I refere to its menus.

Now..DVDShrink can sub the copyrighting and all other rubbish with still image….which is fine but the problem is if you have removed a video section that has a long running time(like promo for example) and worst if it has some chapters your sub material will display as the running time of the removed material.

In the other hand VOBBlanker does the same with one exception…it will blank out all the chosen titles and you have instead a bkacj screen with homogeny running time which is about 2 sec.

That is great! Using DVDShrink for removing unwanted audio channel is cool and for compressing and size maintain.

I assume that you know this stuff better than me but for those who doesn’t I highly recommend VOBBlanker.

[Richard_G]

I didn't actually. I wasn't aware what you meant when you said you wanted to keep the VTS, I even looked in the glossary and found it isn't there.

I have no desire to leave the menus, in fact, I find them very annoying! I can't understand why you would want them either, if you only have the main movie, the only bit that does anything is the Play Movie button. That happens automatically as soon as you put the DVD in you player if you don't have a menu.

I suppose you might want to be able to use the Scene Select to skip to later Chapters but that still works anyway on a DVD Re-authored as movie only in DVDShrink. Start playing the movie and hit 'Next Chapter' on your remote and it goes to the next Chapter. The only thing you are missing is any thumbnails.

This statement is what caused a lot of communication problems, just for the record.

Obviously, everybody here assumed you were tryng to eliminate the menus, the extras, the copyright notices, and all of the other "fluff" that takes up space. This is also the first time I have heard of anyone referring to the menus as "VTS."

DVDShrink allows you to do this (eliminate all of the "fluff" and back up only a main movie), with ease. It excels at this, as a matter fact. Which is one reason I use it.

DVDShrink is greate but re-authoring mode wont allow you to keep the menue links..its good only if you want to go to the move stright ahead.

by the way...i thought VTS is the place where all the menues are stored? please correct me.

VTS = Video Title Set

A VTS represents a "Title," which is a movie or track on a DVD-Video.
