problems with angles and ghibli dvds

[murimurimuri]

Okay... I'm having problems stripping an angle. The Studio Ghibli DVDs released by Madman (R4) have an 'alternate angle storyboard' - a second angle running throughout the main movie. I want to get rid of it. I've followed various guides for IFOedit using VOB Extras and what results is a mishmash of both angles and what seems to be only the second half of the movie. Getting rid of the second angle in DVD Decrypter produced similar results. I am new to this, so I may have overlooked something, but I think these DVDs are somehow different.

These screens are of the R4 version of Princess Mononoke ripped (in its entirety) in file mode with DVD Decrypter in PgcEdit:

Those are both from the same 'angle' (Cell 3). It switches between vob 1 and 2 as it plays. Vob 2 is the second angle I want to remove. Am I stupidly doing something wrong? Help!

Even though this is not the right forum for this question (this forum is for advanced questions on making DVD's) I'll answer anyway. What you have is not multiple angles, but multiple stories. The simplest way to demux these is to demux by PGC using PgcDemux. Pick the PGC that plays the movie the way you want to back it up.

Thank you mpucoder! I've managed to demux it into vobs of just the first PCG, so now all I have to do is work out how to replace the original vobs with the new ones.

Sorry for posting in the wrong thread; I saw 'multiangle' in the description and thought this was the right one. You can move or delete it.
