Black Hawk Down (2-DVD Movie Split) Cheat Sheet
Black Hawk Down (2-DVD Movie Split)Cheat Sheet
Courtesy of 2CL NOTE: Disabling Special Features Menu in Disk 1 has been added. Other changes in red. FINAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTON: Disk 1: Chapters 1 – 16 only Original menu kept All audio and subtitles kept No Special Features Disk 2: Chapters 17 – 28 only Original menu kept All audio and subtitles kept Special Features Tools I used: For ripping movie to harddrive: Smartripper 2.41 For editing the DVD navigations: IfoEdit 0.95 For burning the final product: ImgTool 0.95 with reallocation of files unchecked. ________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Create a folder named “BHD” and three subfolders named “Files”,“Disk 1”, and “Disk 2” ________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Rip ALL files to “BHD”folder ________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Region Free every IFO and save commands if region code commands were deleted. ________________________________________________________________________________ 4. Get VTS Sectors. ________________________________________________________________________________ 5. Backup all IFOs and BUPs to “Files” subfolder ________________________________________________________________________________ 6. In VIDEO_TS.IFO/VMG Overview/Menu Language Unit:, delete playbacks on all your VOB-Ids (1 to 4). Language Menu Unit 1: [English] Menu 1: [entry only] (Programs: 2) (Cells: 2) (uses VOB-IDs: 1) Columbia Tristar logo Menu 2: [entry only] (Programs: 2) (Cells: 2) (uses VOB-IDs: 2) PG-13 Declaration Menu 3: [entry only] (Programs: 2) (Cells: 2) (uses VOB-IDs: 3) FBI Warnings Menu 4: [entry only] (Programs: 2) (Cells: 2) (uses VOB-IDs: 4) FBI Warnings Translation: Columbia Tristar Intro Logo, PG-13 clip, and FBI warnings are bypassed. ________________________________________________________________________________ 7. Save VIDEO_TS.IFO ________________________________________________________________________________ 8. Get VTS Sectors ________________________________________________________________________________ SPLITTING DVD 9. Select VTS_01_0.IFO and press Vob Extras button. ________________________________________________________________________________ 10. These need to be checked.
11. Select Destination directory to your “Disk 1” sub-folder and 2nd Dest. Directory to “Disk 2” ________________________________________________________________________________ 12. Press Ok. ________________________________________________________________________________ 13. Cell 14 (part of Ch 14) is selected by IFOedit as a middle point to strip. Select Cell 19 (Ch 17) as your new split point. Now, stop and read. Let me tell the logic to picking this split point. When I played my scene selection menu, this is how the chapters are grouped on each page. Page 1 > 1, 2, 3, 4 Page 2 > 5, 6, 7, 8 Page 3 > 9, 10, 11,12 Page 4 > 13, 14, 15, 16 Page 5 > 17, 18, 19, 20 Page 6 > 21, 22, 23, 24 Page 7 > 25, 26, 27, 28 Each chapter menu is a cell. We can disable cells. Look for the nearest page menu start chapter point from your original point. What I mean in start chapter is chapters 1, 5 ,9 ,13, 17, 21, and 25. When you access any of these pages, these are the “start” chapters of each page. In this case, since Ch 14 was picked by IFOedit, our nearest “start” chapter point was either chapter 13 or 17. The logical choice would be to pick Ch. 13. But proposed to pick Ch 17. Why? Because, we will put our special features VOBs on Disk 2 only and we want to have some space to put them there. This is pretty much a judgement call. With more experience, you will learn to pick the correct split point. So, if our Disk 1 will contain chapters 1 to 16, we can disable the scene selection pages 5 to 7 at a later step. The same concept goes for Disk 2 with chapters 17 to 28. We will disable pages 1 to 4 in Disk 2 ‘s scene selection menu. ________________________________________________________________________________ 14. Make sure the “Correct IFO tables” is checked and press split it. ________________________________________________________________________________ 15. With Chapter 17 highlighted as new split point, press “Split it” button and let IFOedit do it’s magic. It’s going to take awhile. ________________________________________________________________________________ 16. When done, copy VIDEO_TS.VOB and VTS_01_0.VOB to Disk 1 and Disk 2 sub-folders. DISK ONE: Chapters 1 – 16 ________________________________________________________________________________ 17. Select VTS_01_0.IFO in your Disk 1 sub-folder. ________________________________________________________________________________ 18. Get VTS Sectors ________________________________________________________________________________ 19. Backup all IFOs to “Files” subfolder, replacing previous files. ________________________________________________________________________________ 20.

I need some help badly, I have some problems with your guide and was wondering could you explain a bit further please.
Step 3 Says "3. Region Free every IFO and save commands if region code commands were deleted. " Do I just click on the region free button even if I have ripped the movie to my hdd with smart ripper which has make region free ticked? Step 6 says "6. In VIDEO_TS.IFO/VMG Overview/Menu Language Unit:, delete playbacks on all your VOB-Ids (1 to 4). Language Menu Unit 1: [English] Menu 1: [entry only] (Programs: 2) (Cells: 2) (uses VOB-IDs: 1) Columbia Tristar logo Menu 2: [entry only] (Programs: 2) (Cells: 2) (uses VOB-IDs: 2) PG-13 Declaration Menu 3: [entry only] (Programs: 2) (Cells: 2) (uses VOB-IDs: 3) FBI Warnings Menu 4: [entry only] (Programs: 2) (Cells: 2) (uses VOB-IDs: 4) FBI Warnings Translation: Columbia Tristar Intro Logo, PG-13 clip, and FBI warnings are bypassed. " When I open the main IFO file where is the VIDEO_TS.IFO/VMG Overview/Menu Language Unit part (I think I found something at the bottom but there are 8 menu lines there do I just click on the first and then click on delete playback? And repeat for the other 3 leaving 4 not touched? Step 13 Says "13. Cell 14 (part of Ch 14) is selected by IFOedit as a middle point to strip. Select Cell 19 (Ch 17) as your new split point. Now, stop and read. " I do not understand this section as I have nothing on the screen appart from some tick boxes but nothing that says chapter? I must sound like a complete idiot, but I tend to follow things to the letter. I thought you could just rip the main movie to HDD with IFO files and just click get VTS sectors. I have tried this but when I use Power DVD 4.0 to play the movie get an error which doesnt allow me to play the movie. The help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Morgano |

Hi Morgano,
First of all, I only do NTSC region 1 DVD backups. It has been brought to my attention though that PAL DVDs may contain some differences, but it is still possible to use the same methods to get yours to work. Quote:
I put that in there because there are cases that some region codes were still embedded. It doesn't hurt to region free again. I just do it out of habit. Quote:
In your case, double left click on all menus that have VOB-IDs associated with them and view. You'll know which ones you need to delete playback on so that they are bypassed in the intro. Don't forget step 5 before you start editing/deleting. Quote:
Step 9 and 10 is pretty much straight forward. In step 10, did you check “Split to 2 DVD-Rs”? After you set your destination folders and pressed OK, you should have got your Stream List window after that. You’ll see all your chapters and cells. This is where you select your split point. When you do get your Stream List window, reread step 13 on why I selected my split. I don’t know if your chapter selection menu layout is the same as mine but you can use the same method. Quote:
It doesn’t work that way. If you want to view your movie on your harddrive using PowerDVD, check this guide in Doom9 “The Basics” section. It’s in HD Playback Guide. Here’s the link. Doom9.org You can still use your Smartripper to rip all your files instead of DVD Decrypter. Now for you to put your movie unto a DVD, you must have at these files present in your VIDEO_TS folder. VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VTS_01_0.BUP, and VTS_01_1.IFO. If your movie lies in another titleset other than titleset 1,then that must be included too. This is the bare minimum you need for an average DVD.

"FINAL PRODUCT DESCRIPTON:
Disk 1: Chapters 1 – 16 only Original menu kept All audio and subtitles kept No Special Features Disk 2: Chapters 17 – 28 only Original menu kept All audio and subtitles kept Special Features " I got this from one of your DVD's which you had split into 2 DVD's. I'm trying like mad to split "The Bourne Identity" but it's not completely working...yet. There are a couple of things which I don't understand in the explanation and there's also the absence of 2 of the programs you're using. I'm using the "simple" Afterdawns guide for splitting a DVD-9 into 2 DVD-5's. I've managed so far to split the DVD into 2 parts, but then the menu with bonus material seems to be screwed. I'm also wondering why you use "Get VTS vectors" after some changes to IFO files. I guess you also have to keep track on the exact chapters you move to DVD nr. 2 and change certain files in order to have them refer to the correct chapters. I wonder if I ever manage to fully do this on my own....*sighs* Ish |

I assumed this was also valid for IFOEDIT 0.95, but you're doing the opposite. This just confused me a bit It's really sweet of you to spend time to answer all these questions. It's really appreciated :-) Ish |
