I made a backup of without a paddle and using shrink in reauthor I noticed I had two movies of the same thing. Usually thats normal and wide but this time it was wide and angle. I copied the one that said angle just to see what was different and while watching the movie a little screen kept popping up in the corner showing the people in the movie sitting around appearing to be discussing the movie. Whats up with this?
I was wondering the same thing cause in re_autjor showed title 1 and title 1 angle 2. But when you do a full back up there isnt 2 movie files listed there. I ended up doing a complete backup and was worried that the window with the guys discusing the movie would incode in the main movie but that didnt happen. Encoded normal. You have to turn on the movie comentary to see the guys discussing the movie that is what the angle 2 is. Comintary of the movie. So even tho when its encoding you see the guys pop up every once in a while it still backs up right when you watch it. You just have to enable comentary to see them.
I got it to copy fine just picking the main movie with out the angle thingie. Plays ok but I'm wodering just what the angle means, purpose and all. also I have caught bits from other threads about being able to copy angles but what is it? anybody help us?
like I said diffrent angels is just added stuff to the main movie. Like Comemtary or somtimes the end credits are diffrent. etc etc
johnnyd54, When you see 2 movies it dos in fact double the size of the movie you're backing up. If you use re-author in DVD Shrink you can just keep the movie one and get rid of the Director's commentary one and have a backup that's exactly the same quality as the original as no compression will be needed. Check out this guide a ScubaPete story guide to custom edit & backup your favorite DVD Well Ok then, let’s just sit down and get comfy in front of the Big screen TV cause in just a minute or so the “Uncle ScubaPete Show” will be coming on the air – - CLICK – ”Brought to you this evening by AfterDawn, the “Fat chewing” champion’s location of choice - and under threats by a crazed spear waving maniac, we are forced to present Mr. Brain-Dead, direct from his extend stay at the Happy Hills Institute of the Mentally Disabled and Disturbed Souls, and here he’ll be until it’s been discovered that he’s escaped yet again from that fine facility - and here he is, live and unfortunately still disturbed, it’s Uncle ScubaPete - - - - “ Ooohhh Boy, Ooohhh Boy, am I excited ! I couldn't wait to see you ! And what’s so great it could get Old ScubaPete (the original couch potato) excited ? FREE STUFF that’s what, the new FREE DVD Shrink version 3.2 AND DVD Decrypter ! We now we can go from start to finish with just 2 programs (checkbook not necessary) and they are DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter - Come on and get your FREE DVD Shrink, right here ~ ~> http://www.dvdshrink.org/ Now, over here in isle 5, get your FREE DVD Decrypter here ~ ~> http://www.dvddecrypter.com/ "How good is it ?" you ask ?It's so good that you might want to PRINT IT OUT NOW ! (Easier to follow, don't you know ? NOW, IS EVERYBODY READY ??? GOOD - First, you should create a folder for your DVD backup before hand. This is the place on your HD where DVD Shrink will work on your movie files and DVD Decrypter can pick them up there to burn'em to disc. Try to put it someplace where you won't forget it - i.e. C:\All DVD work\ Sleeping Beauty Kills Bill, needs Anger Management Now open up DVD Decrypter - and under "Mode", select "ISO" then "Write" - under "Source" you may leave that blank as DVD Decrypter will find the location that DVD Shrink put your ISO image in all by itself. Select your "Destination" as your Burner - and make sure that the box that says "Verify" is un-ticked (This last one will cut down on false DVD Decrypter errors). Do that now. OK, feel free to close DVD Decrypter now because when DVD Shrink is finished it will open DVD Decrypter by itself. Let’s go get one of your favorite DVD’s and make a copy of it so should something unforeseen happen, like a waterspout hit the Mojave Desert and claim the original you’ll have a backup of it. Now you can place your original DVD in your DVD-ROM drive and a DVD blank in your burner's drive (If you have two drives). If you only have the one drive, put your original in that drive now. When the time comes for you to put in your blank in either the drive door will open OR a message will appear. As for your DVD media, PLEASE USE; TDK, Ritek G04, "Branded" RiData, Verbatim "DataLife", Verbatim DataLife "Plus", Phillips, Sony , media boasting "Advanced Metal AZO", Taiyo Yuden's and generally, almost any discs manufactured by Mitsubishi are excellent bets. Other media could cause unnecessary errors. Only the very best media should be used for DVD Video backups. Remember that RW discs will probably not play in older standalone players. But I suggest that you use your RW now until you get comfortable with the backup process. That way we won't be creating any "Coasters" during our trial period Now is defiantly not the time to put your, "Look how much money I saved on these." cheap stuff in.. Using quality media plays a major role in successful DVD burning. Certain "Name Brands" should not be trusted. If you're not sure, ask here before you buy. Now, into DVD Shrink we go, let's "click" "Edit", then "click" "Preferences" on this page we're going to select "DVD Target Size" as "Custom" and set the size between "4300MB" to "4360". - We do this to make sure that we don't burn to the very edge of the disc. When using poorer quality disc we may have to go lower still as the dye toward the edge many times is uneven or absent. Then, under the "File I/O" tab "UN-tick" "Enable burning with Nero" then "click" "OK". Let's do that now ! Now let's burn a DVD, OK ? Kweel ! Alright then, let's open DVD Shrink and "click' "Open Disk". We'll have to wait anywhere from 30-seconds to a minute for DVD Shrink to analyze (rip) your DVD. If you wish, we can edit your movie now. To trim some unnecessary items from your movie, you can "un-tick" some extra audio you don't want like the foreign audio streams, i.e. Klingon, Solarian Cluster Mush OR Eastern Himalayan Yak language selections or the Director's comments (also known as Outer Mongolian). I usually keep the 5:1audio as that's your Dolby Surround Sound. All the rest, I uncheck.This will result in your DVD requiring less compression and therefore providing you with a better quality picture. If you would like, as I do, to get rid of all the extras and trailers thus compressing your movie as little as possible (giving you the very best quality picture), click "Re-author" then, under "Main Movie" select "Title 1" If there are additional choices, look at the time and select the title with the longest time as that is usually the main attraction. "Click" and drag the "Title 1" from the right-hand side of the screen to the left-hand side, under the "DVD Structure" (DVD) and release it there. Additional editing may be done by using the "Start" \ "Finish" controls to the right of the "DVD Compilation" heading on the left-hand side of the Re-author window. Bingo, Bango, you are done editing, giving you the least compression (best quality), backup possible. Now select "Backup" to get ready to finish. NOTE: If you want a "Full backup", that's everything on the original disc on your backup. We need to be sure that the "Full Disc" icon is depressed. Don't try to cheer it up and don't worry, it likes being "depressed". There's no problem in doing a "Full backup" as long as we don't see any "Red" on the size bar at the top of your window. If you should see some "Red" on the size bar, simply "Un-tick" any foreign languages, i.e. Klingon, Solarian Mush-mouth, Director's comments or DTS sound boxes until the "Red" disappears. Actually you can "Un-tick" those things anyway, it'll lessen the compression on your backup. (a good thing With no "Red" visible on the size bar we just let the "Automatic" (Default) settings alone. Since we are editing our DVD, DO NOT TOUCH THE "FULL DISC" BUTTON. Clicking the "Full Disc" button will erase our editing work and reset DVD Shrink to do a full backup. It's now time to select Backup". Take just a second and under "Target Device" go to "Select backup target " once there, select "ISO Image File and burn with DVD Decrypter". Now, under "Quality Settings", if it's SPEED you're after, "un-tick" the box which says, "Perform deep analysis" and "un-tick" the box for "Compress the video with high quality adaptive error compensation". This will give you an acceptable DVD backup. If it's QUALITY you're after and have some extra time to spend, "tick" Perform deep analysis before backup to improve quality" AND "tick" "Compress video with high quality adaptive error compensation." There you may adjust quality enhancements. Practicing with the settings can produce even better end products. For a no-frills DVD's like "There's something about Mary" I like Extra Smooth BUT for DVD's with a lot of special effects, I use the Extra Sharp setting. That's for me, you'll have to decide what you like If all the boxes are "grayed out" that's OK, it means your DVD is small enough that little will be lost from the original. Good, now click "OK." Finally, where it says "Select target image file", browse till you find your created folder for your backup, C:\All DVD Work\Sleeping Beauty Kills Bill, needs Anger Management and click "Save". That's it ! Click "OK" and enjoy a peaceful cup of tea. DVD Shrink will work it's little heart out, obeying your commands and putting a copy of your work on your HD while instructing DVD Decrypter to toast your DVD to your waiting disc to a rich, golden "Done".. - Believe it or not, that was as hard as it ever gets - We'll not have to mess with our settings again I KNOW you won't go anywhere near that PC while it's working cause we don't want to mess up our backup this late in the game do we ? Tell me now, . . . . Wasn't that finer than frog hair ? Slicker than a slimy, slithery, Southern, three-toed Sloth ? (Remember, when you want a guide with a "out of sight, out of his mind" personality, shop ScubaPete ) Cheers all, Pete )
What thru me for a loop was the angle 2 didnt show up on the full backup. it only list 1 title movie on full back up under movies but when you re-author it shows 2 titles but diffrent angles.
ScubaPete have yopu seen that happen before? I was going to take out the angle 2 movie in full back up but it dosent list it in full back up. only has 1 title listed but 2 titles in re=author.
larrylje, There are sometimes 2 angles, it's common on a lot of Disney stuff. (You have a unique anitar, problem is that, the flashes make it difficult to read the text in your posts, like having a strobe light going off, it re-directs your eyes from the printd word - Cheers, Pete
I understand about the diffrent angles. But my question is. In re-author under Main movie titles it has "title 1" and "title 1(angle2)" Shows 2 movie files in re-author. But...... Full backup under Main movie titles it only has "Title 1" The "Title 1(angle2) isnt listed in full backup. That is where im stumped. I backed it up fine just was curious why the "Title 1(angle2) isnt listed in full backup.
sorry about the redwings marque sign I took it off. But again would like some input on the above reply I added.
ok scubapete but all I was talking about was what is this angle. How to copy a disk was nice but I have about 150 rips correctly done and am fairly proficient with decrypt and shrink and what to choose to get the movie I want just thought you might give us a handle on what this angle thing means to our copies. The short version will do. Thanks
I guess your asking why they both don't show up ? The "Title 1" is "angle 1" - I'm not sure what angle 2 does unless it's another format. There will be, in the future, an analog and a digital together on one disc. My guess is that is what this is. They could be "Hidden" files - it's a guess OR a possibility ? So long as I can control it, Maybe Veblin can shead some light on it ?. Pete
In Re-author: "Title 1" is the movie. just the movie. "Title 1(angle2)" is the movie with a window poping up every so often with comentary. In Full Backup: It only list "Title 1" I was going to still image the "Title 1(angle2) in full backup to lessen compression to The Main Movie. But I couldnt cause "Title 1(angle2) dosent show up in full backup. Anyway thanks for your input.
The reason it doesn't show up is that it's not technically a separate title. Additional angles are added using a process called interleaving where multiple versions of a title share some parts and have other parts that are unique. In the case of multiple angles the different versions are actually part of the same title (as listed in a table in VIDEO_TS.IFO - where Shrink seems to get the title numbers from) so it's not listed separately in Full Disk mode. If you go into Reauthor mode the duplicate video/audio is contained in each angle so you can select the version you want. If the different versions of the title had been different lengths (like theatrical version and director's cut) it would have had to use a different type of interleaving called seamless branching, which requires 2 different titles that would have both been listed in Full Disk mode. As Pete said this is common in Disney movies. They often use it to have multiple versions of the credits in different languages. I even have one Disney DVD (Beauty & The Beast Special Edition) that has 3 different versions of the movie using seamless branchin and each version has 2 angles. When I open the disk in Shrink it shows me that the main movie is 3 titles and Reauthor mode shows 6 titles because of the extra angles.
Very good Vurbal. At last an answer I can get an angle on. Thanks very much for the info to both Verbal and Scubapete
Makes sense now Vurbal thanks for the input. Like I said I backed it up fine just was curious about it cause iv never seen it before. Iv heard of interleaving before. Guess I shoulda piad more attention to it. LOL any thanks for the info
I have the same problem with the little picture in picture with the cast, I am new to copying movies and can see where I select re-author and see " Main Movie: title 1 and title 2 (Angle 2) I right click on title 1 and select add it gives me the movie without the picture in picture, but, how do I get an exact copy of movie with previews but without title 2 ( angle 2 ) Thank you in advance...................scotty
If you want to remove the second angle and keep functional menus you'll have to use something other than Shrink. DVDReMake will do it, but it's not free. It is easy to use though. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_tools/dvdremake.cfm If you get the Pro version you can also remove alternate movie versions done with seamless branching (like discs that have a director's cut and a theatrical version that are different lengths). http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd-r_tools/dvdremake_pro.cfm
