i want to make a bigger file size dvd backup (=better quality) by removing some menu features i dont want. But i also want a program with great quality backups. What program do you suggest, and how do i remove menu features? Will i be able to tell which menu features are which?
soulsling, man-your full of questions today! I already told you. Nero recode 2(you said u had nero 6). Rip the movie(anydvd or dvd43), go to recode 2, open it and choose dvd to dvd. Hit import dvd and let it analyze, this takes about a minute. You'll have your listings, all with sublistings. Hit the + sign to get a drop down menu. Hint: leave menu and movie alone and you'll have a functional menu with your movie. Under extras, use the preview slider to view what you want to keep and what you don't want. Click on what you don't want and hit disable on each one. Recode will ask you if you want to substitute a picture, use what they offer or browse for your own. When done with that hit next (this step doesn't take long). Check burn-at-once and advanced analysis (be sure to check BOTH), hit burn and wait about 45 minutes depending on what you left. Done. Now go burn and quit asking so many questions lol.
Another option would be to use DVD Stripper. It breaks the entire disc down to the very basic components then allows you to remove anything you want while retaining working menus. I use it quite a bit to get rid of uneeded extras, warning screens etc. Here are a couple links: http://www.dvdstripper.com/ http://www.dvdrbase.com/showthread.php?t=33795 Stripper is basically a front end for DVD Decrypter and IFOEdit so you'll need to install those.
