Removing a Chapter

[pankjer]

Can someone tell me how to remove a chapter from a DVD?

[jimmalenko]

remove as in blow the whole chapter away or just remove the chapter point itself ?

The chapter is a duplicate. If I can make the DVD skip that chapter when I put it in the player. I'll be happy with that otherwise I would like to delete it.

How elaborate is the DVD authored ?

Is it just main movie ? Got Menus ? Extra Features ?

If it's just a main movie, then you could rip with DVDDecrypter in IFO mode, excluding (unticking) the chapter, and then recreating the IFO and BUP files with IFOEdit for a totally free solution. If there's menus and extra features on the disc, mayyyyyybe VOBBlanker could work at a chapter level - I'm not sure on that though. DVDRemake can do this for sure though.

Hi-

This guide will show you how to skip over the duplicate cell (chapter):

As mentioned in the second link discussion, if you want to save space and actually remove it (which you evidently don't need to do), then VobBlanker is the way to go.
