Encoding Movie + Menu but without extras

[Penecho]

I tried to encode a Movie. I selected the Option Movies and Menus only (Blank extras). But DVD-RB encoded the whole DVD, the extras are on the encoded DVD. Now the Bitrate is too low. So my Question is, how can I encode this DVD without extras but with Menu??

Did you re-run the "Prepare" phase after selecting "Movie and Menus only (Blank extras)"?

How do I re-run the prepare?? the Prepare runs after the selecting Movie + Menu (blank extras) or??

What encoder did you use and if it's CCE did you chose OPV?

Are you sure the movie & extras did not use the same VTS ?

[jdobbs]

By DVD Rebuilder's definition an "Extra" is anything located in a VTS other than the main one. So if a DVD was authored with everything in one VTS -- nothing would be removed.

Another option is Movie-Only (without menus) mode. It will back up only the main movie defined in the largest PGC of the main VTS.

OPV = One Pass VBR. :)
With OPV you can't use Movie and Menus only because the prediction is done during PREPARE -- so it would be off no matter what you do.

Cu You could blank them with the segment editor.

Ahh, OK!! I used 6-pass CCE ;)


@jdobbs: can't find Segement Editor!! is VobBlanker the same??

It's built into DVD Rebuilder Professional. It's one of the tabs on the right. All you have to do is go into three click mode, do PREPARE, and then use the editor.

Ok, i switched to 3-click Mode and pushed the Prepare button, then i obend the segment Viewer/Editor but all I see is a black Screen!! and at the bottom stands Recoverd 0,0 MB !!?? What now?? and how Can I delete/Blank Out still Images??

In your "Preview/Edit" tab you can double-click each segment. This will switch them to [Blanked out] (double-click again) [Slide Show] or (double-click again) returns to default.

The "Still Frames" are usually 0mb and shouldn't cause you any issues that I can think of.
