VobBlanker 1.5.1.0 is out: A tool to blank, cut or replace titles and Menus
Hi all,
I've been working in a tool able to blank, replace and strip titles. I decided to publish the tool before finish it, because seems preview pane will take me some time to develop (BTW, any help will be much appreciated ) Before use it, I'd like to advice you: - I'm almost a newbie in VC++ programming, so I'm slow, may be not in solving bugs, but in including new features. - Although I've some basic knowledge in DVD structures and tables, I'm very far to be an expert, so I can do something unintentionally wrong. That means, please test carefully your backups before burning them. Don't flame me if you produce a coaster. - The tool has been designed for "simple VTSs". No multiangle, no BOV, etc Well, these are the features supported: - Blank titles - Replace titles with an external one - Strip audio tracks - IFO tables adjusting, including "the famous" TMAPTI - Works per VTS: can process a single VTS, some VTS or the complete DVD. VobBlanker needs an unencrypted (ripped) DVD as input. jsoto BTW, the tool is freeware and the sources will be available after some code cleaning. Last edited by jsoto; 28th November 2004 at 19:49. |

FANTASTIC!
finally a way to edit a 2 disk DVD onto one dvdr, keeping the menu from the first DVD. It works a treat! Combine the 2 movie sections of the DVDs using DVD Author. Replace the original movie in the titleset using Vobblanker, with the new VOBs. Shrink to size with dvd2one, and it works perfectly. Only nasty bit is all the chapters from the 2nd dvd get shoved into one huge chapter on the end of the original DVD. thanks a lot m8 |

sarahjh69,
This may be a bit presumptious, but I think many of us would benefit from a guide on How to Join a 2 DVD set to 1 DVD while keeping the original menu. I would love it if you could put one together. Quote:
I would also like to add my thanks to jsoto for the program. Later, Macanudo |

create a "complete movie" VOB titleset using dvd2one (join movie)
or dvd author (load 2 videos on 1 track) to give you the "joined" movie. If using DVD author, note total chapters on first movie disk and delete a few here and there on both to give slightly more chapters than you had on the original disk 1. (have less and you're screwed) transfer disc 1 to HD transfer your "joined" movie vobs to HD run Vobblanker and load up disk 1 find the PGC with the movie in and replace with your "joined" VOBs shrink with dvd2one if required you now have all the movie on 1 disk with all the menus NOTE you cannot have more chapters than your original disk 1 had If you started off with 30 chapters, you will end up with 30, but the last one may be a BIG one. If you delete too many chapters it will still work, but dvd2one, dvd shrink, etc will give an error and not work........I would aim to have 32 chapters in my joined movie VOBs and ignore any errors in Vobblanker, as extras just get absorbed in the final chapter. |

thnx lot to jsoto.
After your great work on your mdvdauth another fine piece of software. After many success with TitleSetBlanker i waited alot for this, coz sometimes the extras are in the same titleset as the main movie, so with TitleSetBlanker i haven't the wanted success. Anyway also lot thnx to shh for his TSB. Will try your VobBlanker. Wish for future version: If it is possible can you also make blanking to single cells or chapters within a vob? |

tried VB at Finding Nemo to blank the extras out as they're part of the VTS of the main movie. Worked like a charm. After used your VB i were able to become Finding Nemo (with Menu) with DVDShrink from 71% up to 82%
Also made Rising the Sun with your VB to get rid of the space consuming trailers out, as they are in the same VTS as the starting Logo of 20th Century Fox, that starts before the menu. Worked also fine. So again thnx lot to jsoto for his great tool. |

Thanks all for the reports, but....
Does anyone test the "replace" feature?. I use replace capabilities of VobBlanker + dvd2svcd (+mdvdauth). This is my way to do a full backup: - Select the titles you want to keep and blank the others. Also blank the main movie. This will give you a DVD (no-movie) with a small size. - If you want, reencode with dvd2svcd the extras you want to keep (you can change the resolution to CVD or even VCD) to reduce the space. I use OPV with Q 35-40. No D2SRoBa is required for this. An alternative is dvdshrink for this "no-movie DVD". Apply VobBlanker to replace the extras. - Calculate the disc space available (4477 MB less DVDno-movie size) - Launch D2V2SVCD with mdvdauth and D2SRoBa with the estimated size. Use mdvdauth035 selecting in chapters automatic CellTimes extraction and mark keep audio checkbox. - Apply VobBlanker to replace main-movie. If all goes fine, you will get a full 1:1 backup with CCE encoded movie/extras. Remember CCE/D2SRoBa is quality based, so, let me say, you will have "the best" possible encode. jsoto Last edited by jsoto; 6th April 2004 at 02:58. |
