actually, i was so impressed with the software i bought it less than 2 hours after downloading the demo. I will try the hide the extra menu option, hopefully it works. AS for ripping just angle one, i noticecd the angle info remains, but angles 2 and 3 are stripped. Is this right? I hope not, I was hopingto use rebuilder on the dvd once i remake it and RB balks on angles. well see, maybe i will have to delve (sp) into ifoedit to strip the angle info

THANK YOU THANK YOU.. i have used shrink in the past, and the quality is great, however, on a long graphics intensive movie like sw2 i wanted to use cce. here is the status. I utterly butchered the menus using remake (I love this software!!!!!) ripped 2/3rds of the menus out (relinked all references to 1 of the duplicate menus (they actually had a random command in there)), then changed the first play to go directly to the menu i saved, removed some buttons, and then went through and removed every reference to an angle. Oh, and i killed the intro studio logo and credits (thank you again, always wanted to be able to do that) export After checking in windvd (perfect i might say) I then imported in dvd-rebuilder (DVD-RB) and bam.. no error on angles.. currently encoding with dynamic bitrate setting per chapter. I love it. I will let you know ont he final product (slow comp, will be tomorrow before encoding is done). DVdshrink would still have had a 68% or so compression, i dont like to go below 75 or 80, even with deep analysis (bettter than the 50% before DRM). again thanx, glad i purchased. some questions.. 1. are there any guides to build your own vob's like the too be continued or the item removed you make available on the site? 2. oh wait, thats it.. awesome product. -jp (in a much better mood, even if i did spill coffee in my laptop this mornin)

No sure where it was, I believe it was a pre command in the root menu. I.e. the first play, after warnings, directed to title 5 root menu (main movie). Within that structure there was a random command setting r[5] (i think) to a random value, which then determined whether it went to menu 1 2 or 3. I just removed all those to NOP and directed first play directly to the title 5 menu and directly the root directly to the menu i kept (pgc 39 for me). Update - unfortunately dvd rebuilder, whil encoding perfectly, failed to rebuild ifos (not surprising, and the author has asked to keep bug reports to unaltered ifos). So I am currently loading back into remake to try to recorrect the ifos with the re-encoded video. I will let you know the results. A question. It takes about 8 minutes for me to open the files/project. It hits the main movie title, and then says "recovering cells information" even when it is the original disk. System specs below. Is this normal? Dell Latitude c840 laptop 2.4ghz p4 1gb ram 20gb free space

yes it is the same issue i had reloading stripped Phantom menace in...I believe DRM is checking files, but Dimad wil be able to give you the proper term for what it is doing. It would be nice if you could take acouple of screenshots of what you altered as a guide for removing multiple menus

I will work up some screenshots this weekend. Final Update (i hope). After DVD-Rebuilder exploded on the recreating of ifos (it reencoded the video fine), I reloaded the re-encoded video_ts folder into remake. Low and behold, not only did it fix the ifos, it even fixed the small problems of ff and rewind the dvd-rb had introduced including wrong timecodes and wierd chapter points. Final step will be to burn and test on settops but as of now windvd playback is flawless (and the video looks great) Smile

Yes, this is the same with Phantom menace.. Without the full version you will not be able to test this but i simply played the dvd and noticed too that only one set of menus seems to be selected all the time with no way of switching, so i simply used the 'Hide block' feature on the 2 sets of menus that where not visible when i played the dvd.
If I remebmer it right I've seen random comand on one of star wars disk. They set some register with random value from 1 to 3 and then go to one of three sets of menus based on this. Bottomline: it is not very safe to just hide two other sets (even if usually it go to the third). One day it may go to what you have hidden. Wink Ops.. Should have read whole thread. jptheripper explained all this Smile @jptheripper : glad you like the program Smile

Glad to hear, did not have time to play with rebuilder. Spread the knowledge. Smile Let others know as well that ReMake can fix these things Smile

Being thinking about how you guys are butchering multi angle disks. There is one thing I'm curious. Your posts confirm that DvdReMake will digest such disks, but it should introduce "dummy" blank cells in place of the removed angles. Does it affect playback? Or you do some more work with IfoEdit?

Mine plays fine on both my cyberhome 512 and Bush 2520 standalone dvd players, and also plays fine on my daughters PS2. I can send you my ifos if you need them Dimad

DvdReMake will do it automatically. There is a cell in PGC for each angle I don't think dvddecryptor alters ifo files when removing angles. It will simply remove some cells from vob file. DvdReMake will see references to them in PGC, will not find them in vob and will insert dummies to keep navigation valid (in case there are LinkCell commands). @SirQUK can you send dvdremake exported ifos? I'm just curious.

ahh, good to know, hmm.. might have to start from scratch again. Is there a way to remove the angle information completely? I can probably remoev manually, just to ensure they are never referenced. Actually.. a "remove all angles except angle x" command would be nice.. would that be hard to implement? I would think the end goal would delete all cells identified as angle != x and would remove all references to angles -jp
