Hello I´m trying to backup THE HULK, normally, I use to use dvdShrink to make an 1:1 copy of the disc, and then, I recompress the video with CCE, and sustitute it, using IFOupdate with the original IFO and the IFO that DVD maestro gives to me...

I´ve noticed, that THE HULK has 2 PGC's, that are the same film, but... with differents chapters in each one, and now, I don´t know how to:

1) Estract the two chapter list
2) Introduce them in DVDMaestro to get a 2 PGCs IFO

for the first problem I suposse that I can manually make an *.chp file with the times that I see in IFOupdate when I open the original IFO... buy anyway... I don't know how to introduce 2 chapter list in the same movie in DVDMaestro.

PD: excuse my english.... I´m spanish

Unless I'm mistaken there is a guide in the forum somewhere which you can find via the search...although I would just use Scenarist...I did my first multi-PGC title recently (I usually do movie-only backups) and found it easier than I expected.

hi cracken,
the second pgc is the 'button over video' version of the movie. if you go into the bonus selection, press 'hulk cam'....or something like that, when you view the movie, you will see a button (looks like a nuclear symbol) which when you press it, takes you to a 'making of' documentary for that particular scene.
there are 11 buttons in total, so the chapters of pgc 2 correspond to this with 11 chapters.
the buttons are located in the 7th substream.
i am not to sure how you would go about re-authoring this with maestro but there are 'button over video' guides in the guides section.
one by SeYtoN (dealing with the Matrix)
one by Influenza (dealing with button commands - Snatch & Stuart Little)
that should help you out a lot.
I used Scenarist and processed pgc 2 then created pgc 1 manually using the ifo as a guide.
hope that helps
