Programs other than Clonedvd

[monkeyballz]

Hi

I got a folder with dvd video files and I wanna get rid of the extras from the movie. I got shrink but you can only compress to stills, I want to deleted all together. I used to have Clonedvd but it keeps coming up as Expired

Could someone tell me a program that has similar functions to clonedvd and is free?

Thanx

DVDShrink in Reauthor mode let's you select main title only, getting rid of all menu and extras if you want to.

DVD-RB Pro will also let you backup main movie only w/menus among other options (e.g., 1/2 D1 & 1/2 bitrate for extras).

A little more involved would be to use vobblanker (freeware) to blank out the extras you don't want and then use Shrink on that.

Yeah I used Shrink Re-author but it didn't have the menu's. Might try DVD-rb pro

VOBBlanker would be my choice here.

How can you tell which VOB files are the extras and which aren't, besides the size of the files?

Rip the DVD to your harddrive. Open up VIDEO_TS.IFO in Vobblanker. Select a vob (upper-half) and select & preview each PGC# entry associated with that vob (lower-half). Blank the ones you don't want. Select a location for the output. Hit the process button at the bottom. A few minutes later you have a DVD with the extras that you wanted blanked ... blanked out. Also, you can use Vobblanker to blank that pesky FBI warning, studio's into, etc.

You can skip through your DVD playing it with MediaPlayerClassic and pay attention to the info in the panel beneath it...



The VTS numbers are the same as the title numbers being displayed.
