Double Sided Disks to DVDR/RW

[VidMixer]

Can anyone help me? I am trying to backup my copy of Lethal Weapon 4. It has the movie on one side and the special features on the other. I would like to make them work on a single sided DVD-R/R(DL). I am getting headachs from trying to decifer some of the other posts from other sites and forms. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

The simplest way would be to rip the two sides as seperate discs, and use DVD Remake Pro to join them together with a simple top menu - Movie or Features

Thanks for the info. I am actually looking for a way of having the DVD keep the original menus and start the special features instead of the "Please Flip Disk" message.

DVDRemake Pro or PGCEdit can do this. You'll need to learn a bit about Jump and Link commands though.

Where can I go to find out about Jump and Link commands?

I don't know of anywhere that it's documented, but basically they can be used in this case as pointers to other PGCs, either within the same VTS or in other VTS's.

So what you'd do is look at the command that causes button 1 to divert to the "Insert Disc 2" screen, and instead divert it to the PGC and VTS that corresponds to the feature as listed by button 1. Sometimes you have to refer back to a VMGM PGC, which then has a link to the appropriate PGC and VTS contained within it.

Is there any way to change DVD Remake Pros default menu screen? I would like to add my own picture of the movie in that spot and change the buttons to read Main Feature and Special Features, instead of the ones there now(Disk 1, Disk 2).

Yes - there's guides at http://www.dimadsoft.com on how to do it.

In short, create the menu to look the way you want it in authoring software such as TMPGEnc DVD Author (create a JPG with the background and the images you want used as buttons), then author that. Then right-click on the DVDRemake menu in the right hand side window and go to "Replace with still". Then select the IFO that corresponds to your menu. Then edit the positions of the buttons to match up with where your button images sit.
