Ok, so I'm trying to get the extended version of the bourne identity onto my computer, as you can see in the attached picture, well, its weird. I don't know how to get it on and be in the right order for backing up to xvid. Any suggestions?

Well, the image doesn't seem to be uploading, but basically what i get under vts 01 is 3 pcgs, the first two are the same length(1:58:11), have the same chapters. the third is only 4 minutes or so and I think is the extended scenes, and contains two chapters which replace two chapters in the other version, I think...ugh.

I'm not sure dvd's jump between PGC's to display different content as they're playing. I'd have thought they just pick one and stick with it!

Why not just rip the little 4 minute PGC and watch it to see what it really is?

Hmm,

if I remember the "extended" edition wasn't anything of the sort. It just jumped to play the different opening and ending scenes (jumping from anamorphic video to letterboxed video). This happened if you pressed select (or enter or go or whatever is on your remote) when the on screen logo appeared during the opening titles. In all probability the 4 minute PGC is the alternate opening and ending scenes.Don't know if that helps at all!

yeah that seems to be what it is, so if I use pcg 2, I'll just get weird things on my screen sometimes...:-/ oh well.
