Cowboy Bebop Disk 1

[Chipcrap]

This is a solution to a problem I had with this disk. It's a DVD9, with a very wierd layout. Contains 5 episodes. I want to keep the menus because this is an episodic and that makes things alot easier. I tried dvdxcopy and dvd2one with no success. I found the following to work very good.

1. Rip whole DVD (File Mode) with SmartRipper (40 minutes)
2. Do a hard drive to hard drive conversion (all default settings) with Instant Copy (2 hours)
3. Use PDI extract to extract the PDI's from Instant Copy to vobs and such (10 minutes)
4. Use Nero to burn. (1 hour)

So it was a tad under 4 hours from start to finish. I can see some artifacts on the menus, and a tiny bit on the move (mainly around text areas like credits and stuff). I think I'll use this method for the rest of my episode DVD's, and contiue to use dvdXcopy for movies (I'm a 1:1 quality whore ) Hope this helps someone!

I back up Cowboy bebop disc one last week came out good it was 3.89gig

Enable OK button when size of dvd exceeds maximum allowed... Here's how to reenable the OK button when in the customize disc screen and the size exceeds the maximum allowed. This should be useful for those that are getting undersized output.
Just press F5 - yup simple as that!
Note: I haven't tested this fully, I just pressed OK and InstantCopy started doing it's thing. I quit shortly after that since I didn't want oversized output.

I push it to 4.50 some times it's around 4.3 some time's it 4.14
