How Combine Extras From Several DVDs?

[TomBrooklyn]

Is there a way to combine the Extras from several Hollywood DVD movies and burn them onto one disk? How could that be done?

Use DVD Shrink in re-authoring mode.

Hi Blutach. Thanks.

I put a DVD rip on DVDShrink and picked out the extras I want, but I don't see how to add another rip so I can pick the extras out of that.

Can I burn this part and then add on to it? Something else?

You need to make your compilation all at once.

While admittedly a low rent idea you can make your compilation a little more interesting by adding a short intro clip before each extra title. A simple way would be to capture a screenshot relevent to each extra . Then you could use shrink to create a short mini clip of anything, the only concern is the running time, whatever works for your 'intro's' like 5,7,10 sec's, whatever. When your compiling your extra titles do it layered w/ your mini video, like mini,extra,mini,extra, mini, extra, ect. When your done use the compression settings on the mini's and change them to the still image you captured. You could also use actual running clips in addition/instead of a still(s). As an example the extra's for 'Big trouble in little china' workrd very well this way.
For complete menus with extra's if you don't mind being limited to 2 per disk DvdremakePro is a very useful prog.

Just what I wanted to do. Thanks.

I ran into a problem using this proceedure with a DVD-RW. I kept getting a message that the disk was full and did I want to erase it. I answered yes, but the message just came back a minute later. I went through five or six iterations of this and then gave up on that disk. Is this disk bad or is there some other or better way to erase it and proceed? In the meantime, a new disk got the job done. Regards.

Hi,
That's very cool with DVD Shrink. I didn't know it could do that. I just made a little mini-clip. How would you insert a screenshot though? Do you mean a conventional screenshot taken by Irvanfiew as a jpg?

You lost me here. I think because I'm not sure of the format of a still screenshot or how to incorporate it.

I googled Dvdmakerpro and got to it's website but the website is up for sale and the product seems to be gone.

Cheers.

As you have observed the original RW disk is no good - throw it out.

This is the DVDRMP website - http://www.dimadsoft.com/dvdremakepro/index.php It is not up for sale.

To make a screenshot into a DVD compilation, use Muxman. You can make a BMP via PgcEdit (preview to find a scene you like, put a title on the BMP with any graphics prog) and then use muxman to make it into a little DVD. Then, you can make that your intro clip in your compilation with DVD Shrink.
