Ok, that DVD I was working on, Batman Begins special features disc. I blanked out FBI warnings and stripped out all French content with VobBlanker, removed the initial language selection screen with PgcEdit, and shrunk it to a SL DVD .ISO with DVD Shrink.
Link to the original thread about deleting the menu (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=118318)

I thought I was done, it worked perfectly on my PC. But I didn't realize that something was missing until I stuck the DVD in my standalone player: the menu selection "halos" that appear around your selected option are gone!!!

I didn't notice on my PC, becuase you can just click directly with the mouse. But on the standalone DVD player, you can't see what menu option is going to be selected when you hit enter! You can still navigate around the DVD, but it requires guesswork, so you never really know what you are clicking on.

How could I have deleted this? I don't even know where the options for it are, or even what to call it. Is this something I did to the DVD, or maybe its a set up problem on my player?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!

Did you delete any subpics/subpictures/subtitles?

Yes I did, I think... Is that where they hide those?

I was very careful to not remove anything related to the stuff I kept... the French and English stuff was completely separated.

DOH! Yeah, I had deleted a SubPicture stream that had those graphics in them.

DVD Shrink had misidentified the SubPicture stream as being French... I should have known better, DVD Shrink never really knows which parts belong to what.

So, did that "cure what ailed you"? If so, glad it worked ;>}

Yep, that fixed my problem!

Lesson learned: do all of your stripping with VobBlanker and PgcEdit, its the only way to be sure of what you are removing.

Another "lesson" - Subpic streams are tiny, so there's very little to be gained by removing them, but possibly a lot to lose ;>}

Yes, I do agree on that, when working on subtitles I always keep the original streams even for some I don't know what they are.
