Planet of the Apes 2001

OK I give. I think I need to remove "pop-up's" using IFOedit but I'm not sure. When playing my freshly split/burned copy of subject movie I get these nasty little Picture in Picture looking commentaries of how this scene was made etc. Not good! Please someone point me in the right direction.

[klona]

Please give a bit more details about your problem and how you authored.

BTW, it's an Ifoedit topic . Moved the thread there

[Manazoid]

Thanks for the reply Klona. I ripped the DVD using DVD Decrypter in File Mode and split the main movie VOB's using IFOedit's "Split to 2 DVD's" feature. I then manually copied all needed files into the folders I split the movie into, then corrected VTS Sectors using IFOedit, then created a Image File using ImgTool 089 and burned with my Sony DRU500a using Ritek DVD-R blanks. This has worked many times before but this Movie has Optional comentary that is intertwined in the main movie VOB's. I confirmed this using IFOedit by loading the main movie VOB and using the viewer to scroll through each chapter. It seems these comentarys are only in chapters with multiple angels but both angles have the commentary.

The main problem is when I play the disc it starts fine but a few minutes into the movie this small Picture in Picture looking window pops-up with the director or someone describing how the scene was made etc. Also the movie plays fine, untill the "commentator" jumps in but the commentary itself seems shaky, it starts and stops, starts again...I'm not sure if this is a IFOedit post or not...

Thanks

It's probably a multi-angle title.
One first angle for the movie, another one with a commentator sometimes.

Try removing all angle except angle 1 in Ifoedit.

It can be also seamless branching. same, strip that with ifoedit.

[Manazoid]

Multi angle title - do you mean Widescreen and Standard on one side of a DVD-9. If so its not, it has Widescreen only. This movie has a Special Feature "Enhanced Viewing Mode" Which inserts Picture in Picture Vignettes during Movie playback. On my storebought DVD the default for the "Enhanced Viewing Mode" is off. But in my Ripped/Spilt/Burned copy the Vignettes play regardless, and they don't play properly. I just wish they did not play at all!

Humm can't seem to get the Remove Seamless Branching checkbox to become active...

Ripped it again in vStrip (first time I ever used it) and kept only angle 1 and the Vignettes seem to be gone but now half the VOB's are in Spanish. Is there a program that will Rip only angle 1 and allow Stripping the Spanish at the same time?

Gracias Amigo!

Hi,
try rip the dvd with Dvdecrypter in file mode. Then open the main movie ifo file and see what´s vob-ids are used by the main movie ( Ex.- ( PGC_1 program chain Programs: 12 ( Cells: 22 uses vobs-ids:1,3,4,5,7,8,9,.....) . Then check Vobextras and chosse Strip streams, streat vobids, strip language, correct vob-unit..., remove pop-ups, correct ifo..... and create new video....... At the strip vobids chosse the ones used by the main movie ( Ex. 1,3,4,5,7,8,9,... ). I believe this will solve your problem.

[klona]

It seems there is a small bug in ifoedit 0.95
I am just doing SW E2 which has 2 angles, and ifoedit does not allow me to check the remove angle box.

It's OK with ifoedit 0.91.
Give a try;

[destemido]

that's bad because SW ep2 is next on my to do list... and i ripped everything... can i create and image and rip it again keeping only angle 1???

[klona]

SW E2 is not an easy one and Ifoedit is not enough for a one CD 1:1 copy
PGC 1 has the main movie with 2 angle but also 12 others PGC.

Scenarist is needed there.

If you keep the IFo and the original vobs of the vts1 that's ok, you just need to run ofoedit 0.91 and remove an angle. Then you have a standard movie with 13 PGC, but with no need of dummy audio (No audio track except for pgc 1 & 9, both 0x80_6ch48,0x81_6ch48,0x82_2ch48.

For split on 2 DVD, heu, I don't know, never did it.

[Manazoid]

Thanks Klona, and Artur, et.al for the advice. Will try all sugestions as soon as I have a day off.

Doom9 Rocks!

Remercie des amis,

One thing you need to keep a heads up on Star Wars is the permanent subtitles. I did both Episode 1&2 and it worked perfectly, except where the aliens talk, the subtitles disappeared on me. So pretty much you don't know what they're saying. I used dvd decrypter to remove the angles except for #1 and it worked great. Nothing needed to do special in ifoedit.

Now I do have a problem with Planet of the Apes. I have those director pop up screens like you said and was wondering how you got around them. I tried removing the angles and everything. Seamless branching didn't show up for me on either ifoedit .91 or .95. I was wondering if you could help me. Thanks.

[Manazoid]

No I have just about gave up on the Apes. 4 coasters is enough. I was so close, I'm sure its an easy fix for some of the pros here but I am stuck. Post a follow up if you figure anything out as will I.

[Josh]

I've made 2 coasters now too with planet of the apes. Tried it once without angles, then again with angles. Neither worked, and both hung in chapter 2 also. Has anyone successfully split this movie with no hangs or pip from angle 2? I'm going to try the method next that worked with Jurassic Park, that is strip out the movie only, then split that. Thanks.

[Josh]

It appears to have worked. In detail, copy all files with dvd decryptor to hard drive. Strip out the movie only, strip out angle 2 vobids throughout the movie. Then split it. Imgtools and dvd decryptor to burn.

Oh yeah, I also had checked Remove angle/llvu point when splitting the disc too.

[framerman]

After a couple of months, I tried Planet of the Apes once more to find out if I could do it. I can report that I have successfully done it without the PIP commentary's. In dvd decrypter, I ripped in IFO mode. This seemed to do the trick quite nicely.

[Josh]

Awesome! Yeah, mine worked too.

[Manazoid]

Hummm when you ripped in IFO mode did you uncheck any chapters or just rip it with the default settings?

Did you "Enable Stream Processing" and uncheck any Audio Streams?

Thanks

[Josh]

No, I do file mode and rip all of the files to the hard drive. Then I do whatever from those files. Seems like I've read in a few guides to not use ifo mode, but if it works I may have to try it.

[framerman]

I can't remember the exact way that I did it, but it definitely was in IFO mode. I did check enable stream processing and unchecked all but the video, audio, and sub for english, and kept the direct stream copy. When I did it in file mode, I always got the PIP in a couple of places.

[Manazoid]

Thanks Framerman I will give it a try and if it works I'll email you some TP!

Can you please explain how you burn the movie once you get the movie out from ifo mode?

Framerman, I'm interested in trying this but want to know what you do with the movie you get from ifo mode and how you burn it. When I tried it a long time ago I remember I got a coaster when burning the movie I got from ifo mode. Do you pass it through ifoedit somehow first, or just burn it? And how? Thanks. Anyone else know or burn movies from ifo mode too? If so, how do you do it?

[Josh]

Well, I was searching DVD Decryptor's forum and came across this from iwgant. I haven't tried it out yet, but he mentions doing it through ifo mode too. My main interest in trying it that way is to see if those movies that come out with pauses in them for some odd reason will come out fine with no pauses via the ifo mode extraction of the movie. Anyway, here's what he said he does:

Next, time to work with the File mode output as well as the IFO output where I extracted only the movie. I loaded the .ifo file generated with IfoEdit and did the usual - first click on VOB extras and selecting to remove the unwanted stuff - new files are generated - usually I get an error message after the new files that the main .ifo file is missing, but I just click OK & it creates it for me. From there, I click on Region Free just to make sure the I click on Get VTS Sectors to realign the .ifo files to the correct starting point. Once this is done, I closed IfoEdit and opened ImgTools - took awhile to figure this one out when I first started using it, but now it's a breeze. Anyway, I go through the process to create a new .iso file. Be sure to unmount the virtual drive you create at some point after you finish.

I don't know if it works, I'll try it out next chance I get. Also looks like you can rip the movie only in file mode and try it that way too (ifI understand it correctly).
