Ability to Choose Title Set??

[Imperial Zeppelin]

Learned Colleagues: I looked but I'm tired this morning and I can't find out how to choose a particular title set.

Trying to back up a movie with both a 4:3 and 16:9 copy on a DVD. I want WS, but the 4:3 is the "first" title set (It's Title 2), while the WS version is next (Title 3). If I go Movie Only, DVD-RB Pro defaults to Title 2. If I do entire disc I get both, but I can't seem to deselect Title 2.

I used to use InstantCopy for such work, but I just tossed my original discs out last week in a "purge" of old software I don't use, of course.

Thanks,
Zep

Why not blank the unneeded title?

I've clicked and right-clicked and can't figure that out...

Like I said, I'm really feeling dense today!

EUREKA!!! Although it seems cumbersome I went into the segment editor and blanked each cell. Is there any easier way???? Since DVD-RB has it's mind made up that the 4:3 is the main movie, I can only do it one segment at a time.

Please post a screenshot, it'll help.

The 4:3 must be longer than the WS, that's why RB desides 4:3 is the main movie. Or better say, VTS2 is the biggest title set.

Blanking segment by segment is the only way how it works within RB, I think.
After blanking VTS2 go to VTS3 and move the slider to the size which you want. Don't use "allocate saved space to the feature" as this would mean give all back to VTS2.

Thanks Ripraff. Thought I was losing my head...

There should be a better way so I'm posting on "Features" thread.

There is - it's called VobBlanker (http://jsoto.posunplugged.com/vobblanker.htm) or PgcEdit (http://www.videohelp.com/~r0lZ/pgcedit/index.html).

Since the 4:3 will be in a different VTS than the 16:9, PgcEdit is the most efficient way to do this. Load the project, highlight any title in the unwanted VTS, Ctrl-Del (select kill playback) and OK. Ctrl-S to save and load project in DVDRB.

You could also use DvdShrink in Reauthor mode to seperate out which one you want (without compressing) the 4:3 or 16:9. If compression is needed then run what you seperated out through DVDRB.

Does DVD-RB have a way to deal with this scenario yet ? I have it with Santa Clause 3. I want the main movie only, 16:9 version. It's title set 01, is 3383mb while the 4:3 version is title set 09, and smaller, 3223mb. DVD-RB picks the 4:3 version in movie only mode though.

After your prepare, go to Preview edit and mark the segments you don't want as blank.

I don't think there is a way to do this in one click for a full VTS - that would be a useful addition. But you can from the preview tab, go into the menu and go Blank All extras and then unblank the extras you wanna keep. This might be quicker.

I'll look into adding an option to force an alternate VTS/PGC as the "Movie-Only" selection.

I'm a little confused by the example, though, as DVD-RB should pick the largest VTS by default. In fact, I just went through the code and it selects the Main VTS at the same time it adds that text to the selection list... so what I'm seeing there should be impossible. :confused:

Yeah, I thought I recalled that from quite some time ago, specifically brought up when dealing with TV show DVDs. I made sure that I took a screenshot that showed ALL of the segments and one that showed what it picked. I was afraid people wouldn't believe me. I even checked and double-checked the listed size to make sure I wasn't reading too quickly. :D
