Stupid Question About DVD Menus

[sumotherdude]

OK, this might be a newbie question but I'm just curious. I've been doing this for awhile but just want to get a sense of what everyone thinks.

I've ripped Resident Evil, and determined that everything (menus and movie) are basically in Title Set 1, which is VTS_02_x.xxx. Now in order to meet DVD specs (I think this is right, I may be wrong) the DVD must contain all the VTS_01x.xxx files to play in a stand alone player.

The entire project, after removing all the extra stuff is 4.3 GB but when I try to burn the disc, it basically says that the image is too large to burn. I've thrown away as much as I can (subtitles, extras, large VTS_01x.xxx VOB files. etc) - the project still plays in PowerDVD so it should work. The size is down to 4.2 GB and some change but it still won't burn. Shouldn't it burn? I thought the max was like 4.37 GB or something... I'm using a DVD+RW disc.

My question (or maybe two), can I just rename the VTS_02x.xxx files to VTS_01 since they contain all the menus, then pop the IFOs into IFOEdit to correct them? Or should I just re-encode the movie in CCE or REMPEG to get the size smaller?

I've read all the guides and will most likely just start over tonight when I get in using TRILIGHT's guide.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Just a bit of info...

1) 4.37GB is correct. Should be the same for DVD+RW I would imagine.

2) In order to have a VTS_02, there must be a VTS_01. Don't dump the whole set. If you're wanting to leave it out then do so, but just kill the main set. Don't kill the VTS_01_0.VOB, .IFO, or .BUP files.

3) Make sure you're running "Correct VTS Sectors"!!

4) Good luck! :) I'd give you more specific info but I've not done that title.

Thanks!

I'll mess around with it tonight.

I just yanked the ac3 + vid from this one..weighed in at only 3.53 gig

Was that just the movie? Or including the menus?
