Important:
Please use DVDToolbox only with files that was ripped in "File-Mode" or "Iso-Mode (with Daemontools)". Never use IFO-Mode or any stream processing ! DVDToolbox needs its Input as 1:1 Copy from a DVD ! CU ! www.DVDToolbox.de |

Thanks for sharing your new software! I'm sure there are many thankful people! Keep us posted on the updates.
Hey, I like the estimated file size option! Nice! One thing to pass along, it doesn't look like the cancel button works on it when it's processing something. That, or it just takes a long to. I ended program after a minute. Very nice software! Can't wait until the menus get added in a later release.

DVD ToolBox
First a Thank you for the app. I tried it out and the first thing I noticed that it didn't seem to add up the Menu's/(vts_xx_0.vobs) also the small .ifo's and .bup's. On some DVD the Menu's can be HUGE, check out LOTR's its over 600mb's. Please add another Total to your output .TXT file to include all the rest of the files on the DVD.
Now, on a off Note: I see the potential of your program to be awsum. Your app could be "The App to rule them all" You are the only one who is analizing the actual bytes of the streams and overing a analisis. You are starting to offer 'inteligents' to backing up a DVD. Hear me out on this.... You could have another 'tab' on you app that the user fills in with some choices, such as: 1. If DVD less than 4.3.....Burn .iso 2. If DVD with streams ripped less than 4.3...Burn .iso 3. if DVD a bit over 4.3 ...run DVD2one/IFOupdate 4. if DVD greater than 4.3 run DoItFast4u/DoCCE I hope you see what I am getting at, your app can provide the solution for total DVD automated backup with preset variables, this has a HUGE future. Tahnk you for your work. Last note, please, please, changing the message that says "DVD too big" / "DVD will fit" to a message in a messagebox or include a ICON that turns red/green. When trying to 'hook' your message handle its a pain since it blends into the background. You see I am trying to automate your app and its not really CLI supported, so I am basing my automation on the message you provide. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for your time. VidHack

@VidHack
Thanks for using DVDToolbox ! The first huge goal of the toolbox is a free and 100% working DVDXCopy. But DVDToolbox is a box of tools by design So the "FrontEnd"-Idea you had is quite very wellcome and I'll add it to the "TODO"-List !

I hope the link in the news will get you significant attention so that you'll keep on making your tool better. A suggestion for the future: As you may know from personal experience when trying to strip things, you often mess with the navigation which can result in undesired behaviour. If you could analyze the navigational structure in the IFO and fix it (disabling buttons, change pre and post commands accordingly) this would be a big improvement.

I Don't really think you need to add a burning feature either since it's not that tough to burn with another program.

Another idea would be to include the option to how you would like the movies to play once split, ie, Menu on disc 1, start movie right away on disc 2; start both discs with the movie right away. Just an idea to think about. That would fix the problem of some movies playing only the green warning screens by fixing that precommand.

@Josh
Don't panic. Primarily DVDToolbox will be a tool for loose-less DVD backup ! But other features may come .... @DOOM9 Thank you for supporting my project ! For the german users "Movie2Digital.de" is the board for comments/sugestions and errors messages. Now I set this board for the english speaking people. Hope this is ok. @All I hope the designed version of the homepage for DVDToolbox will go online next week. I'm not a html-programmer, so a good friend of mine will care about the page

Well...
Pleased to see a new tool coming out
And even more pleased to see the author looks that nice and friendly. I visited the Movie2digital.de board a few times, but I forgot most of my German learned at school so I will welcome an english version Keep up the good work but beware not to implement too many thing and turn your tool to a over-complicated software Waldok

question
Can this be used on multi-episode DVD's or just one's with a single movie? Also, after stripping out the unwanted streams does the program remove the layer-break flag. This was a problem with the first release of DVD2ONE and caused many settop players to glitch when it encountered that spot on the dvd.
Thanks, NickB Last edited by NickB; 28th February 2003 at 18:21. |

But the thing should be the other way round. The first versions of 2one copied the layer break; the new one deletes the layer break. DVDToolbox doesn't write the layer break !
