Help with Setting's please

[nathanaa]

I have not been able to figure out the appropriate settings have to be to get rid of Director's Commentary on my back up's. Could someone give me some advice, please? I hate having that couple of hundred megs being wasted that could go to the main movie instead.

I generally back up the entire disc, except for foreign languages, and I'd like to lose any Director's Commentary too.

Any help or assistance greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi nathanaa

In the setup menu of DVdRebuilder there is a special setting menu.
In that menu there is an option to remove directors commentary - make sure you put a tick in the box. This will automaticlly remove Directors commentry every time you load a dvd into DVDRebuilder
Alternatively when you load your dvd into dvd rebuilder double click on the directors commentary in the input settings box to remove it.

I can not find any "Special Settings" menu anywhere in any of the various menu's. Where exactly is it Spurdog? (Thanks for the help)

Settings, Setup, Special Settings, check Remove Director's Comments.

Ok, I followed these instructions. On my Setup page, there is NO Special Settings option. On my Setup page there are all the selections for setting the various encoders and transcoders paths, audio tracks, sub-picture tracks, a box to tick for "Run Apps Minimized" and a box to tick for "Remove DTS Tracks". Nothing about "Remove Director's Comments".

I have the Pro version, 1.072 I think it is. What am I missing here? I'm using the same thing you folks are, aren't I???

I see the problem, Remove Director's Comments does not appear under the Windows Standard and Simple Blue skin.:confused: Switch to another and it'll appear.

yeah some of the old skins havent kept up with the added items for new versioning it looks like

AHA! That did the trick, thanks. By the by, what IS "DTS audio" anyway? I've been assuming it's the 5 and 6 track audio's, but is that correct?

Thanks for the clarification and help with this!

As a person with a visual disability, the older skins are far easier to read and navigate around. The new skins are WAY too "busy" and difficult to work with for me. That's the reason I still use the old skin.

DTS is another "format" of digital audio. I believe it stands for "Digital Theatre Sound" and many people consider it to be "better" than standard Dolby Digital 5.1. I believe it uses less compression than DD5.1 does and in fact, I believe that. I've seen DD5.1 soundtracks that were 400-500mb and the corresponding DTS version was 1.5gb !

Depending on your "home theatre" setup, DD5.1 may be sufficient. Some AV receivers actually can't decode DTS so leaving it in is a waste of space based on your current setup. If you remove the DTS audio, that space is made available for the main video, of course.

Here is a laymen's definition of DTS:
