I dont know if i am confused or what, the method i am using is to extract the large files off of a dvd-9 including the .ifo that goes along with them. After this, i can remove the extra subtitles, languages, etc that i dont want with dvd2one so that i can reduce the size. Without compressing the movie itself. After that, i can encode the movie with tmpgenc so that it will create an mpeg-2? That is where i am confused, i cannot seem to figure out how to load the vob files into tmpgenc! When i what to input a file, it only lets me choose from media files! The reason i am choosing this method is because i would like to use dvd complete to create a menu for the movie afterwards so it will play in my standalone dvd player. P.S. when i encode the vobs with tmpgenc (after i find out how), do i want interlace or non-interlace. Also, why does tmpgenc make you encode it at 704x480, isnt the resolution supposed to be something like 720x480? Thank you
