DVD-RB Pro 1.081 - How to select the main movie?

[Endor]

Hi all,

New to DVD-RB Pro... so far it is very cool and a lot easier than my old tried-and-true method (IFOEdit/DVD2AVI/CCE/DVD Maestro). I'm especially interested in keeping the menus if possible.

I have a disc with both a widescreen and fullscreen version. DVD-RB Pro seems to select the Fullscreen VOBs (in this case, VTS 13) as the "main movie" and the widescreen version (VTS 1) as an "extra".

After the prepare, DVD-RB says that the main movie (FS version) does not need re-encoding. I assume that the WS version would not need it either. I want to strip the fullscreen version, keep the widescreen (which may not need re-encoding) and the menus... stripping all the other extras.

Settings are: Main movie and menus only (no extras), 0% extra shrinkage. After prepare, looking at the Preview/Edit tab shows the FS version active and the WS version "[BLANKED OUT]". I went through and unblanked the WS version and BLANKED the FS version.

Now, CCE is re-encoding VTS 1 (WS version) even though it likely will not need it.

Is there a way to select which VTS is the "main movie" and which one is an "extra"?

Thanks in advance...

Sorry. But currently no. The largest VTS is considered to be the feature. I have it on my "to do" list, though.

endor.. instead of just unblanking the WS, set it to no reencode.

I am not sure if rebuilder checks after segment editor edits to see if the movie now fits.

This kind of situation (where one version of the film won't require re-encoding) is when I revert to shrink. Just blank the full screen version and write the files.

Ok, thanks all... after I posted that, i tried setting the WS version to no reencode and blanking the FS version. Seemed to work (didn't CCE the WS) but the extras were messed up.... got a few of those "Home Video" promos, the FBI warning, then a blank screen and no menu.

Oh well, I reverted to my tried-and-true IFOEdit... will try DVD-RB on my next project though.
