Ok, I am trying to figure out if I can put two diff disks together in a program and still keep the menu ... I am trying to backup my copy of The Color Purple. unfortunately 1/2 of the movie is one one side of the disk, and I have to get up and turn it around to see the 2nd 1/2 of the movie. This is a PAIN in the butt! All I want to do is put both sides together on a disk and watch it - the trick is, i can't find a way to do it AND keep the full menues. PLEASE HELP. So far, I managed to use SHRINK, I back both sides up, then open re-author in SHRINk and I get them on a disk - BUT when I play it, I cant skip to a certain chapter etc (and this is a 3 hour movie with a whole lot of chapters!) Shrink does not let me keep the menu's. Can anyone tell me of any OTHEr programs where I can achive this goal successfully???? Any help would be appreciated!
I am gonna start PM'in some of the "BIG DOGGS" in the forum if someone doesn't help me ...... *S* - I KNOW somebody knows SOMETHING about what I am trying to accomplish ... I JUST WANT TO KEEP MY MENUS when I put two different titles together from each disk side ...
Well, I am not one of the "BIG DOGGS" on this forum, but perhaps this might help you. http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/Making a episode DVD with DVD Shrink.pdf HTH, Rich
styguy, Thanks but I think you slightly misunderstood my question. I already know how to back both titles together - my problem is I want to KEEP THE MENUS in the process, and Shrink does not let me do that - everytime I try to add the menu, I get a message saying I have to do a FULL DISK back up to keep the menu. But its way too much EXTRA info to do the full disk for both sides. My Main problem is keeping the menu screen intact along with the merging of the titles.
do a search for gangs of new york, I just did what you want to do using TMPGEnc DVD author. They're not the original menues but they work.
travalon, I'll take a menu I have to make myself over not having one at all - I know that Gangs of NY is a pretty long movie too - you said you were able to do that one? Maybe I will try that TMPGEnc DVD author that you mentioned. So far, that is all I have. Thanks for the reply. I was beginning to give up ... I gather you are pleased with your results.
Hmm, seems like the site is down for that right now - everytime I try to download, it error's out - i will try again - hopefully it will be back up later ....
mcsterls, is that a program i can get to from this site ... you have a link? Not being lazy - I jsut know when i go through afterdawn's site I dont have to worry about the hackers and viruses ... so I thought I would ask real quick since the program doesnt sound familiar ... in the meantime - I will still look for it ...
