How to shave "8MB" from my DVD

[flyboy123]

I am trying to backup "The Net" onto one dvd. I have the menus, and the main title, and only the Dolby 6ch audio track. That is it. The end product is 8MB to big determined by ifoedit. Question is, how do I shave 8MB off? I think I could easily do it by lopping off the end credits, but the credits are in the last VOB. I have tried using VOB edit to split the last VOB at the vob id and splitting it at the cell id. No luck - the credits dont fall on the last split file for either of those, and I dont know how to split those file any farther to get the end credits to fall on the last split. Is there a way to tell vob edit by time where to split? Or is there some way to lopp off the credits using another method? If so, please let me know what program to use, and how I would do that.

Thanks in advance,

Using DVD2AVI and vstrip GUI, you can follow steps 14 to 30 in Part 2 of this guide (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=242399#post242399) or you could use IFOedit to get your new end sector address and then use vStrip GUI.

To do that in IFOedit, double click on the cell in your movie IFO / VTS Overview / PGC_1 (program chain) that contains your credits. Your VOB Preview window will pop up and in the top left part, you will have your sector address. Use the slider bar to get to your start of your credits. When you got it where you want it, write the sector address down and then jump to step 24 to use vStrip in guide link above.

Substitite your last movie VOB into guide. Also remember to get VTS Sectors afterwards.

I hope it helps for you.

Thanks a bunch...I took the advice of your seond idea, and it worked great! I have one follow up question. The movie plays fine, but when it gets the the last vob, and basically to the last point in the movie, any player freeks out. It says it cant read from the source disk. I am thinkin the ifo it telling the software there is more, when there really isnt becuase I lopped of the remainder of the movie (the credits). My question is, do I have to change in some ifo that the movie is ending in a differnt place. That it is actually ending before the credits and such and such a place. So when the movie is done playing...it really is done playing and that is what the software thinks too? Does that make sense?

Thanks again,

How about doing this to correct the movie length...

Open your movie IFO. Go topside in Title Bar and select VOB Extras / STrip Streams. Select a destination and when you get to the next window, keep all your streams checked. You will be doing a mock strip and IFOedit will process the whole movie and corrrecting it. I hope it works for you. Oh by the way, here's a tip to make IFOedit process faster >

Drag the processing window to the bottom of the screen so that the progress bar is right above the bottom task bar and off the screen. You'll see the % increase faster.
