2COOL’s “Movie Only” Method

Here’s my method I use to keeping “movie only”. I preferably use it on movies that can fit on a single disk but it can be also used in prelude to splitting. It’s may be quicker than using IFoedit to process movie only when you get proficient at it.

_______________________________________________
1. Assuming your movie in VTS_01_*, rip the following files to your harddrive.

VIDEO_TS.*
VTS_01_0.*
VTS_01_*.VOB

Now if your movie is in ,say another titleset, like VTS_03_*, then rip that also with the ones above. For your DVD to work, it needs at least your VIDEO_TS and VTS_01 files to work.

2. Using IFOedit, open VIDEO_TS.IFO
_______________________________________________
3. Get VTS Sectors
_______________________________________________
4. Region Free all your IFOs
_______________________________________________
5. In VIDEO_TS.IFO / VMGM_MAT / First Play PGC / PGC Command Table, right click on first pre-command and select “Edit Command”. Select (JumpTT) Jump to Title. In your Title Nr., input a “1” with assumption your movie is Title 1.

(JumpTT) Jump to Title: 1

6. Save VIDEO_TS.IFO
_______________________________________________
For next steps, I will use VTS_01_0.IFO as our movie IFO and VTS_PGC_1 as our movie’s program chain.

7. Go to VTS_01_0.IFO / VTS_PGCITI / VTS_PGC_1 / Prohibited user operations. Double-left click on “Prohibited user operations” for options window.
_______________________________________________
8. Press “Clear All” button.
_______________________________________________
9. Check all your "Menu Call" options and press OK.

You won’t see your changes right away. To refresh, click on another directory and then click back on VTS_PGC_1 to return to see you updated Prohibited use options. We won’t be keeping the menus so no use having your DVD remote calling them.
_______________________________________________
10. While your still in VTS_PGC_1, go down to your PGC Command Table. Change your post commands value to 0.
_______________________________________________
11. At this point, we need to know what happens when you chapter skip to the last chapter. Save VTS_01_0.IFO, Get VTS Sectors, and DVD-play your movie. Go to your second to the last chapter and then do a forward chapter skip. Does the movie keep playing or does it abruptly stop. If it doesn’t then go to step 18. If the movie abruptly stops when you chapter skip, then go to next step.

_______________________________________________
12. Go to VTS_01_0.IFO / VTS Overview / PGC 1 (program chain) and double click on the last cell to preview if it’s part of the movie or is a blank screen or logo. You can also tell by the it’s time. It’ll be less than a normal chapter time. Look at the example below.

[Ch 31] [Pg 15] [Cell 16] [V/C Id: 3/ 8] : time: 00:04:18.09 / 30 fps
[Ch 32] [Pg 16] [Cell 17] [V/C Id: 5/ 1] : time: 00:00:00.25 / 30 fps

Chapter 32 is our last chapter and it lasts only a quarter of a second. We need to get rid of our chapter.
_______________________________________________
13. Go to VTS_01_0.IFO/VTS_PGCITI/VTS_PGC_1/ PGC Program Map section.
_______________________________________________
14. Select your last cell by right-clicking and select "delete program" option.
_______________________________________________
15. Save VTS_01_0.IFO
_______________________________________________
16. Get VTS Sectors.
_______________________________________________
17.. Press DVD Play button to preview and test your movie and check to see if chapter skipping to end stops your movie. We don’t want it to stop. We want it to keep playing till the end of credits and it should stop on it’s own. That’s pretty much it for keeping the movie.

18. If you need to strip your movie of unwanted audio and subtitles then you can do so now.
