Stripping and Remuxing, HELP!!!!

[soulassasin_187]

Anyone please help me....

I have been trying to do this for the longest time and I don't seem to get it right. I can author a movie with still menus and stuff and I can even get the movies to work. I have been just using Rempeg to shrink and author the movies so far. Now, I want to keep one audio and one subtititles and all the original menus. I have not been sucessfull in doing this at all so far.

Guys....you have to trust me I have been trying this for the past two weeks day in and day out. (may be i am just an idiot)

I took a movie that actually has only one audio and one subtitle track. It was still about 6GB so, I created a CFFL file and transcoded using Rempeg. I went to remux the transcoded M2V and it seems like it worked. So I copied the original VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB AND VTS_01_0.VOB (since this has all the menus). Then i did the "get VTS sectors" and "region ree". I tried to test it using Power DVD and IFOedit player. No luck. It plays until the menu and that's it. I have also tried other movies thinking it might be the movie itself but I don't know what I am doing wrong. I think I am getting confused as to what files should be moved or copied over to the new file.

For example...
1. If I strip audio and subs, IFOedit will create new VTS_01_0.IFO along with the VOB set.
2. So now I should copy VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB AND VTS_01_0.VOB. And then do "get VTS sectors" (every time)?

If I transcoded a movie using Rempeg to shrink the size and remuxed it using IFOedit it will give me new VTS_01_0.IFO along with the VOB set so should i just copy VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB AND VTS_01_0.VOB. And then do "get VTS sectors"?

I am bit confused I guess on what files should actually get copied to the folder the IFO creates. If this has been addressed I am sorry to waste anyone's time. It's just that I have been trying this for the past two weeks and I have had no luck.

Thanks in advance for any help...:confused:

There are many guides for using IfoEdit, some on Doom9's site (which should be obvious) , and more on Derrow's site (less obvious) - http://mpucoder.kewlhair.com/derrow/

soulassasin_187,

Sounds like your'e not far off getting it right.

Let me suggest a few things to you which might help.

This is very quickly how I rip my movies.

Use Smartripper (2.41) rip movie only.

NOTE:- when I save the newly created ripped VOBs, I always save as vts_01 This way there is no need for dummy vobs etc....

using Ifoedit create the *.cffl file

Let ReMPEG do it's thing (I guess you have sorted out the scalefactor bit eh ?

Use Ifoedit then to remux and create new IFOs.

If you have problems with the IFOs try copying the original IFOs to your remuxed VOBs then sort them out.

Get VTS sectors.

Job done. (well should be anyway)

Hope that helps.

I don't think you can rempeg AND keep original menus because the chapters will not line up properly.I spent a long time on this to:http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31260

AlainDelon,

Well spotted, you're right about menus.

Soulassasin_187, you should not be trying to ReMPEG menus.

If you use ReMPEG it should encode MOVIE ONLY.
