Re: unreferenced material

Hi blueboyec.

Have to totally disagree with your statement. I remove Unreferenced Material in a systematic way (always using VobBlanker) and never had any issue feeding DVD-RB with VobBlanker processed material...

Me being one of them..., and I follow very carefully the DVD-RB forum. I can guarantee you that if I had even the minimun problem related by sure to VobBlanker, I would have reported it in this forum...

Dont't want to give answers to your question, but adding some ones (in the given order) to you:
- why using a third applications for removing audio streams ? Rebuilder does the job properly and flawlessly.
- why don't you simply check if just VobBlanker+Rebuilder work properly or not (I will be very surprised of the contrary...) ?
- if you have to reduce menus, and you get into some troubles, why don't you try to produce an oversized encoding, shrinking the menues after the Rebuild step ?

Cheers,

Edit: me voting for keeping the process as it is: if unreferenced material is actually unreferenced it means it is not playable. So removal, IMHO, is the proper way of handling them...
