Programs to Remove/Suppress ugly WARNING screen in this W.C. Fields classic

[MISS CHIEVOUS]

The disk in question is the comedy classic MY LITTLE CHICKADEE from the box set, above.

I have the latest DVDFAB but Universal Studios has apparently embedded an ugly WARNING screen somewhere that doesn't show up in CUSTOMIZE. If I can't delete it in FAB, what other programs could I use to suppress it and still maintain the navigation? I've got numerous other programs but I rarely use them. I'm really stumped where this could be hiding. Thanks.

Use http://dvd-shrink.en.softonic.com/.
After you encode it, you can bypass the warnings by hitting - title menu.

find where the warning is and blank the sucker.

I was hoping you wouldn't recommend that Freebird. I've never been able to figure Blanker out, but I'm willing to try on one condition: I don't want to lose my navigation (which is why I can't use Shrink Psco2007). Will the output keep my menus intact so I can navigate them?

And while I'm waiting for a response I'll upload the two screenshots I just took. And let me explain — the black box is the file with the ugly Warning (you can see the line hilighted in Blanker, it's VIDEO_TS.VOB).

I'm uploading the Options menu, as well, because I don't know what the hell I should be selecting here lol. Sorry freebird, you'll just have to bear with me.

It's a menu VOB, so where you have it highlighted, to the right is the Menu button. Hit that and Blank it in the new screen, as freebird73717 said. Then process it. Everything (menus) will work as before, except you'll no longer get that screen.

I'm getting the following ERROR SCREEN whenever I open the directory with my POST-FAB'd files.

Hey thanks manono. I'm still confused!! Geez, I'm sorry. This program!! Now I remember why I've walked away from it each time I've tried to use it lol.

Following is the screen I get when I hit MENU, and select the VIDEO_TS.VOB line in the upper frame. What I'd like to do is delete the entire damn thing. I don't want to blank it, in other words; I want it gone.

But I'm afraid it will screw up my menus or mess up my audio??

Highlight it in the lower screen and Blank it. That's the easiest way. To completely remove it (why?), you can use PGCEdit. But if you have trouble with VobBlanker, you'll have even more trouble with PGCEdit. You can use the 'Delete' button in VobBlanker, but I'm not sure that's such a good idea unless you know how to redo the navigation commands (again using PGCEdit). Believe me, you'll never know it was there. Blanking produces a black screen that lasts something like one tenth of a second before going on to whatever comes next (the main menu?). Try it. If you don't like the results you can always restore it and go on to PGCEdit (which you'll like even less).

Ah!! I thought I was going to have to sit through 90 seconds of black screen lol.

Do I hilight every one of those lines to blank them?

[manono]

I don't know. Highlight them in turn and hit 'Cells' and see what they contain (the Preview button). One of the others seems to play for 3 seconds and the other for 2 seconds, so you might want to blank them also.

I must have misunderstood.
I thought you wanted to insert your dvd and not have to sit through the warnings, etc.
Here"s a screen shot of a dvd I just backed up with dvdshrink.
When you right click and go to "select menu" and click "title" it takes you right to the main navigation - which gives you scenes extras, setup, etc.

You won't believe this guys but . . . I did it!

In the graphic above entitled Menu of VIDEO_TS where all the lines end in either Keep or ---- I hilighted each one for processing. The ---- lines don't allow you to process them; but the Keep lines do, and on those lines I clicked DELETE for each one and clicked OK.

The next part is what I can't tell you I did precisely lol.

Back in the main screen (see my graphic with the black box) I hit some combination of PROCESS, or PROCESS ALL, and finally the PROCESS!! button at the bottom of the screen when the program wasn't doing anything.

Suddenly a log screen appeared and it started writing.

I watched the movie and all the extras last night; nothing was out of sync; all the navigation was intact; and that rude little WARNING screen was HISTORY lol.

Perhaps Freebird would know the answer to this but . . . is there a forum specifically focused on VOB Blanker? I'm asking because I would like to, well, know what the hell I'm doing. The Help files for this program are all but useless and I would like to understand how to make more advanced use of the program.

Thanks guys.

No forum dedicated to vobblanker as far as I know but there is a bunch of guides.
