Hi there, I have recently been playing with making backups of my LOTR FOTR and TTT special extended edition dvds by turning them into single DVDr with dvd rebuilder.... (the extended edition had the movies split over 2 dvds)
This is how I did it..
1) Used DVDshrink to rip just the 2 dvd movies to the Hdrive, no compression. (So I have 2 directories on hdrive with a full DVD in each with just the film, english audio and forced subtitles and english subtitles)
2) Open a fresh copy of DVDshrink and hit reauthor and browse to each dir of the ripped dvds.
3) Drag the two titles into the reauther section of dvdshrink (so now I have BOTH dvd's in the one DVDshrink project.
4) Make sure both films are set to no compression and click back up. (I now have a single dvd on hdrive of about 8.5GB with both the dvds on it)
5) Use DVDrebuilder to encode to dvdr size.
Now on Step 5 I get a bit fuzzy, basicaly everything worked GREAT as in the final look was SOOO much better than I expected, cce and dvd rebuilder is the styuff, but the subtitles didn't work?? I have no subtitles for the elvish speakn bits (forced subs) and no subtitles for the english (all dialouge)
Is there a trick to makeing dvd rebuilder work with subs or are the DVDshrink options I am doing "breaking" the subtitles somehow.. and if so dose anyone have a better method for combining 2 DVD's into one? (just the movies files no extras or commentaries)
