question about vobblanker

[nugent]

i searched the site and read some guide on the net. but i just want to make sure i have this right.
after i use dvd fabdecrypter,i take that video file run it through vobblanker. take out what i don't want,and then replace the old video file with the new one. then use shrink and then burn.

is this correct? any help would be great.
thanks in advance.

You sort of have the right idea but it would be far easier just to click the title you want to remove while you're in Shrink and change automatic to still image.

If you want to do more, like removing the menu buttons that call up a language track or special feature, then I recommend buying DVD Remake Pro as it can make your life a lot easier. It's especially nice on those movies that have both aspect ratios on the same side and getting rid of the full screen version will reduce the disc enough that you don't need to compress (loosing quality) or cut other bonus features.

Bang on
Vobblanker is quite an intuitive programme so give a a blast and come back if you have some specific problems. As Soltaris says, with this method you will still have the buttons in the menu but they will be none functional. If this bothers you, there are (i think) methods to remove these using freeware programmes

Soltaris
Whilst easier to remove titles with DVDShrink depending on the length of the title you will still have a title many MB in size. Using Vobblanker, this will only be a few kB

Also Shrink doesn't actually remove the item. You will still have to wait for the warnings.... With blanker, they will be romoved completly; no wait.

but i have one more question. i was trying to back-up star wars ep. 3. and it skips the main movie cause of multi angles. what does this mean exactly? what do i need to do?

thanks again.

AFAIK, when you have video that jumps around from cell to cell rather then continuous, plain vanilla stuff, it complicates things, & software can't always handle it. Not always a problem, as the main title's often left alone anyway.

Some software, including shrink for that matter, can isolate titles, but you wind up with just the audio/video. This is fine for re-authoring.
