CFFL file to ReMpeg

[Raider]

I'm following derrows guide to use a cffl file to encode in Rempeg, and it states that I should list all the vob files, yep, no problem with that......but, firstly, should I load the VTS_01_0.VOB aswell, as it only shows starting with VTS_01_1.VOB in his guide.

and secondly the movie also requires other vobs (for extras, etc...), so should I load them aswell, this is an example of what I've entered as a CFFL file.

CFFL
E:\shrek\VTS_01_1.VOB
E:\shrek\VTS_01_2.VOB
E:\shrek\VTS_01_3.VOB
E:\shrek\VTS_01_4.VOB
E:\shrek\VTS_01_5.VOB
E:\shrek\VTS_03_1.VOB
E:\shrek\VTS_05_1.VOB
E:\shrek\VTS_08_1.VOB

thanks for any advice.

cheers

Usually you don't load the vts_0x_0.vob for the main movie title set. Look at it in dvd2avi and see if it's part of the movie. More than likely it isn't.

If you want all that extra stuff to be included in the one resulting m2v file then yes. Though I would assume that you want all of this stuff encoded in its own m2v (the main movie as one m2v file, the extras as another, the trailer as another.) If that's the case then you want to make multiple cffl files each containing the vobs corresponding to different features on the dvd (movies, extras, trailers and animated menus.)

@LanceSteel,

Thanks very much mate for an excellent reply. It didn't enter my mind to make seperate m2v files for the extras.

How would I re-mux them in ifoedit and then incorporate them in the final image to burn??

Are you assuming I would use Spruce up to author the m2v files. I really want to use Ifoedit to produce an image file to burn to disc, which is why I incorporated all the vobs in one cffl file.

once again, thanks for the reply, and any other advice you could offer.
cheers

Ifoedit want's you to have the video file in m2v format. Check this guide out on how to remux:

I've not had much luck remuxing with ifoedit though.

You'll still have to make a cffl file for each title set because (if I remember correctly) ifoedit only lets you open one ifo file at a time. If that is the case, then you can just remux each m2v file separately.

thanks again mate

I think there is now an option in Ifoedit that will let you process all ifo files or just one.
I've got one m2v file at the moment with all the vobs, so I'll load it in Ifoedit, remux and let you know how I get on,

cheers
