the guide for keeping menus

[ElAguila]

I was wanting to use ifoedit to keep the menu for movies. I have been successful in creating just the movie with ifoedit. I was looking in the questions in the sticky posts and saw a link to http://mpucoder.dynodns.net/derrow/menu.html for instructions. I have been trying to get to that link but I keep getting the error:

Error Occurred While Processing Request
Error Diagnostic Information
An error occurred while attempting to establish a connection to the service.
The most likely cause of this problem is that the service is not currently running. You can use the 'Services' Control Panel to verify that the service is running and to restart it if necessary.
Windows NT error number 2 occurred.

Is there another place with the guide posted?

- From the guides -

Many of you have trouble keeping the original menu, when copiing a DVD.
Mostly the problem is, that you forget to copy a title-set, that is needed to start the DVD/Movie.
Before a DVD player starts playing the movie, most times it first display's a copyright/warning message, that is located in a different title set. If you don't keep that title set on your DVD-R, then it won't be playable by a settop player.

How to determine, what title sets must be kept:

Rip the comlete DVD using my ripping guide to your HD into a folder named 'VIDEO_TS'.
Open any Ifo-file of that rip with IfoEdit.

Press the new Button: in IfoEdit to preview the movie, and to get the information, what title-set's have been played.
Please also refer to the DVD Player guide.
When you exit the Player, a messagebox will show you which Titles have been played:


These played titles are a 'MUST', so they must exist on your DVD-R too, to keep your DVD-R playable in a standalone player too.
All you have to do now, is to lookup in VIDEO_TS.IFO which title refers to which IFO/VOB files.

That's it. Now you know which files must be copied later, after stripping/remuxing/etc., to keep the original Menu
