hi there arh! so its in the vob! thats handy, yes you can snip this bit out, you can use dvd shrink (as its at the end of part of first halve!) dvd shrink can crop the start (intro / title) and (end credits) it wont cut out a center part and jion back together! so drag first film halve over then edit! then drag the second halve over! with black screen cut out (sort of the middle but not? if you see what i mean) but! if you want to cut middle parts out (any amount and jion them) then TMPGenc DVD author is the tool for this, pretty simple to grasp tool this too... add the full dvd rip to the button "ADD DVD-VIDEO"
Hi, can anyone tell, im trying to copy a dvd which is copy protected... when trying to decrypt the vob files... and loading it in Nero vision express, not all files are being able to insert in the nero... any ideas abt what could be the prob.
=======DVD-5 -> DVD±R, Single layer DVD discs only (*Inc PS2*)========= Remove all discs from drives. Open DVD Decrypter. From the 'Mode' menu, select 'ISO' -> 'Read'. Put DVD-5 / PS2 disc in drive. Take note of the 'Destination' file name. Click the big 'Decrypt' button. Take the DVD-5 / PS2 disc out of the drive. From the 'Mode' menu, select 'ISO' -> 'Write'. Put a blank disc in your DVD Writer. Click the little folder icon - 'Browse for source file' - and select the MDS file created for you as part of the steps above. Click the big 'Write' button. Finished! Note: You NEED a chipped PS2 to play these disks. Try http://www.gameworlddirect.co.uk or http://www.modchip.com ------------------------------------------- ========DVD-9 -> DVD±R, using only free software======== This is one good path to follow if you don't have any DVD software utilities at all. Updated: 8th August 2004 (based on hembo's guide) Scope of this guide: To copy any DVD9 to one DVD±R(W) with all the contents or the 'main movie' only. Hard disc space needed: 20 Gbyte when backing up a movie on 1 DVD9. Tools used: DVD Decrypter 3.5.2.0 DVD Shink 3.2 (note: if your drive is not NTFS you must use 3.2 or later) Download and install both of the above. Setting up DVD Shrink: Click on the Edit menu and then on Preferences... In the DVD Shrink Preferences window which opens, click on the File I/O tab As this guide only uses freeware, make sure that the Enable burning with Nero option is UNCHECKED Click the OK button Ripping: Start DVD Decrypter Ensure you're in 'File' mode by pressing the 'F' key or selecting it via the 'Mode' option in the menu at the top If, for some reason, all files are not selected, press <Ctrl-A> to select ALL the files Make a note of the destination folder, for example 'C:\NAME_OF_DVD\VIDEO_TS' Click the [DVD-image] button to start DVD Decrypter, this will take anything from 10 minutes and up, depending on your computer and DVD drive speed When it is finished, close DVD Decrypter Re-authoring / Shrinking: Start DVD Shrink Click the [OPEN FILES] button on the main toolbar Navigate to C:\NAME_OF_DVD\VIDEO_TS and click [Ok], this will take a few minutes while DVD shrink analyzes the DVD. When the analysis has finished, you will see the entire structure of the decrypted DVD files. Jump to step 16 to backup the entire DVD, (like an episodic or series DVD like Friends or Simpsons), instead of just the 'main movie', and then adjust the compression for the extras and menus in order to leave more room for the main title. Click the [RE-AUTHOR] button on the main toolbar and the DVD Browser tab should be active; if not, click on it Click and hold on 'Title 1' and drag it to the left-hand pane, under DVD If your movie is greater than 4.35GB then the movie is automatically compressed as you can see if you click on the 'Compression Settings' tab. Here you can deselect audio tracks and subtitles you don't want in order to minimize the compression of the video. Insert a blank DVD±R(W) into your DVD-burner Click the [BACKUP] button on the main toolbar Select ISO Image file and burn with DVD Decrypter as your target device Select an appropriate target file/folder for DVD Shrink to output to, for example 'C:\NEW_DVD.ISO' If your movie is greater than 4.35GB, then you can CHECK the 'Perform deep analysis' option on the Quality Settings tab to enhance the video quality. If it's not, there's no need to compress and you can't select that option. Click [OK]. If your movie is greater than 4.35GB it will take about 20 - 40 minutes depending on the length of the movie, and the complexity of the mpeg. Otherwise it will only take a few minutes. Once DVD Shrink has finished reauthoring and/or compressing, DVD Decrypter will automatically launch and burn the image to DVD without any user intervention When you have checked and are happy with the new DVD, you can delete the 'C:\NAME_OF_DVD' folder, the 'C:\NEW_DVD' folder (if it exists) and the 'C:\NAME_OF_DVD.ISO' file ========DVD-9 -> DVD+R DL, Double layer to Double layer! (1:1)========== Remove all discs from drives. Open DVD Decrypter. From the 'Mode' menu, select 'ISO' -> 'Read'. Put DVD-9 disc in drive. Take note of the 'Destination' file name. Click the big 'Decrypt' button. Take the DVD-9 disc out of the drive. From the 'Mode' menu, select 'ISO' -> 'Write'. Put a blank double layer disc in your DVD Writer. Click the little folder icon - 'Browse for source file' - and select the MDS file created for you as part of the steps above. Click the big 'Write' button. Finished! USE THE .MDS FILE IT CONTAINS THE LAYER BREAK INFO FOR BURNING! Note: If your drive supports booktype / bit setting, remember to tell it to burn DVD+R DL discs as DVDROM. This will make them more compatible with players. The booktype / bit setting utility is accessed by clicking on the little 'book' icon when in ISO Write mode.
Hi Behr....tomlomeo here...i'm having a similiar problem and to date have not gotten an answer....perhaps because i'm not explaining the problem properly....so here goes.....it's similar to your problem...my grandson bought me a DVD DL burner and 3 DVD DL +R disks ( which unfortunately i've wasted)...i would like to make one back up for myself on a DVD DL disk....of the "Godfather"...i have three separate disks for Part I, Part II, and Part III of this movie...i don't know if they are DVD9 (does that make a difference???)...this is a total of about 8 hours....With special decompress techniques, i have been able to get about 5 hours of movie on one DVD5....Can this be done with a DVD DL disk for all 3 parts of that movie??? and how??? please advise ASAP.........tomlomeo
hi do your dual layer media siut your standalone players? what errors did you get to say they dont work? dvd shrink can be set in options to dvd9 from dvd5 then use reauthor mode and drag the 3 films over in order then hit backup and compress (set shrink after hitting backup to burn with dvd decrypter)
I haven't completed one burn yet on my DVD DL disk. i put 3 VIDEO_TS files into DVD Shrink....from 3 different movies...set DVD Shrink to DVD9...create ISO image files and then burn with DVD Decrypter..the following error message appears before the burn is completed on the DVD DL disk: PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO MAKE FUTURE IMAGES SMALLER!!........SORRY
