flawless dvd backups

[jarvis1781]

mind telling me how to remove a button to select extras with ifoedit??
I would definitely like to know how that can be done.
Thanks

cant remove a button with ifoedit, you can make the button do nothing though (nop)

use menuedit or something similar to delete buttons.

usually i rip the whole thing to hd, strip all the crap i dont need from the dvd (trailers, intro's, logo's etc) with ifoedit, remove the buttons from the menu's that link to stripped off stuff and then run the stripped dvd through cce with dvd-rb (I like to keep some nice extra's every now and then)

Ifoedit has it's limitations and DVDRemake can go a lot deeper into the structure than Ifoedit when it comes to stripping video content

if you know where to look you can about do everything dvdremake does with ifoedit

i agree, might be easier with dvdremake, but i like messing around with ifoedit

I know MenuEdit can do that or "something similar"...which is why I said to try DvdReMake. both applications are made by dimad...
DvdReMake has several features that MenuEdit doesn't along with the ease of use...

What about KEEPING the menus and REMOVING the extras?

Can do!

There is no way to completely remove the extras and keep the menus without reauthoring the dvd.

WRONG! oh yes you can...

I once loved messing around in Ifoedit and got to know it inside out by trying everything I could with it. Sadly it's only had one update in ages and it still has issues that I know of and some that others don't , so I now stay away from it and I'd only use it in extreme circumstances when I know the bugs can't affect me

DVDStripper relies heavily on Ifoedit just to update the IFO's and that's how I came across most of the issues as people reported playback problems

missing audio streams is one of the bug issues that still isn't fixed , but we managed to get DVDStripper to trick Ifoedit into keeping the streams by using ghost streams and then taking them back out afterwards

I guess people will use whatever suits them but I think its all down to personal experiences, good or bad as to what they recommend

Not always. Just one of possible scenarios: button links to another menu (like LinkCell XX). This links could wonder around between menus and you will not see anything in ifo file.

hi people wanna tell ypu how i make my back up using 2 tools.
Clonedvd and anydvd.use them tools together no need for dvd2one,dvd shrink ,smartripper etc.just choose what you want off the origanal dvd,clone dvd does the rest.And is there anybody ealse using this way to backup with success.

It is not flawless, as you are going from double layer to single layer. With compression it may be close, but if you want it to be truely flawless, you need to wait for double layer media and drives.

Great Combo!

I actually find the best results for backing up my files with the use of decrypter then i use dvd2one to reencode my files then clonedvd to burn them
