A bit of authoring question

[aragorn234]

I have a full DVD-9 disc (movie) and want to exact part of this to a DVD-r. Now I want to keep the following info from the movie.

THe main movie (of course)
The main menu
Some of the extras.

My problem is tthere a way that I can pick and chose which parts of the DVD I keep for backup purposes. For watching the movie I only need the movie not all the extras. If I want extras I can pull out the original.

I use DVD Shrink and that lets me compress certain parts of the movie, but is there a program that allows me to actually remove the parts I dont want like extras.

You can use DVD Shrink in reauthor mode, but you will lose the menus.
You can use DVD Remake, but you will have to pay for it.
You can use DVD Decrypter or DVD Shrink to extract just the bits you want, then use DVD Lab or similar to create your own menus for it

I remember doing something like this once with transcoders.
I used DVDShrink to transcode the parts of the disc I wanted to keep by adjusting manually their compression (so all of the stuff that you want won't exceed dvd-r size) and NOT transcoding any of the parts I didnt want to keep. It produced of course oversized dvd. I used then CloneDVD to remove those unwanted parts thus it would fit on dvd-r and - most important - CloneDVD didn't have to do any transcoding (I was using CloneDVD 1.x and its quality sucked back then, CloneDVD2.x is slightly better).
