Planned Feature <-=-> Menu Reencoding

[TuRiSOft]

Hi all , hi jdobbs

any news about this long time announced feature ?

It's been a long time since it was announced for the first time , now you have so much knowledge to put into , for example it can work like MenuShrink and reduce all to stills , or we can use reencoding with CCE , HC , ProCoder via EclPRO and so on.

The question is : is this feature in your near-future plans ?

I know ,I know , we got some third part pieces of software like PGCEdit , VobBlanker , MenuShrink and so on , but I think it is time to put it in , if not for other things , just for our games !!!!

Bye and thanks anyway for this great piece of home-made software !!!!

I'm not so sure if it should be included.... I like the features that tools like NuMenu4U offer (button deletion for instance) and MenuShrink (being able to select the exact static menu image) and I'm not sure all these things could be incorporated well. Maybe its better for tools to stick to what they are best at?

yeah i agree, i dont think duplication is needed. what i love about rb is that it does something no other tool does

[jdobbs]

It'll use CCE, HC, etc to reencode the menu... it'll be released sometime between now and v1.10...

You can still use MenuShrink if you want as it outputs perfectly compliant files - DVDRB would then simply have no effect on the menus presented to it. If you wanna get rid of buttons, PgcEdit's menu editor is probably the way to go.

However, for those folks who still want motion menus, this would be a great feature to have in DVDRB.

Quoted, quoted...

Some pressing and persistent requests have been posed to Jdobbs on the matter since the very early stages of development of DVD-RB, so it's someway surprising to see posts expressing doubts on the need of including it...

It's true that other excellent tools are available to edit or to reduce the menues size [and maybe this is the reason such a feature had not been introduced before...], but this is also true for the plain reencoding of the movie.

One of the strongest points of DVD-RB is exactely its flexibility. For "one click" users nothing is better than putting the disk in, ripping, performing the rebuilding and enjoiyng with the obtained backup...

This is the same as to say " I think the Segment Editor should better not be included in DVD-RB , we have already VobBlanker , PGCEdit , DVD-Remake" .

IMHO DVD-RB was born to be a One-Click DVD-Backup solution and it must have all related things inside. Also I think it should be able to either shrink menues to stills or to compress them keeping motion or to keep them as they are !!!

I'm not saying it would do any harm to include it, its just I've got it down to a fine art with NuMenu4U - Stick the DVD in the drive, process it, remove any intros and bits of menu I don't need and disable any buttons to any extras/features I don't want. Then let NuMenu4U finish its processing, compression and copying the rest of DVD to my HD. It then opens DVD-RB with file locations already set. I hit prepare, then remove all the bits that relate to the buttons I disabled with NuMenu4U in the segment viewer. Now, I don't know if this sounds complicated, but it requires very little intervention from me and doesn't take much more time then when I used to rip with DVD Decrypter alone, plus I get a fully customised and optimised DVD backup ;)
