Problem when I have strip either of the two

[Finchficken]

When a dvd has either fullscreen or an Rated version of the disc on the same side as WS or Unrated. I have a hard time stripping the first. I use VOB blanker and blank it out and rebuild the image, but it always causes glitches or freezes when I play on a standalone.

Please help if you can

thank you

Hi, Finchficken, and welcome!

What do you mean by "when I play on a standalone"? Do you mean when you play the blanked movie, or when you play the rest of the DVD?
Have you used the VobBlanker option to "copy pre to post"?
Does this problem happen only with a specific DVD, or all?

Anyway, if the movie to blank is alone in its own titleset, you could try to blank out the whole titleset with PgcEdit. (Right-click on the title, then select "blank out all VTST titles".)

Thanx for the welcome.

No I ment when I say play either WS, after blanking out Fullscreen

Or play the Unrated version after blanking out the rated version

Voblanker alone doesnt seem to work as the movie will shutter a bit, freeze or stop completly

Been on several movies but most recent one was Appaloosa

I have heard about PGCedit and tried to find some simple reading on it as it seems liek a great program but difficult to learn

Do you know that you cannot use VobBlanker on movie containing interleaved cells (multi-angle or multi-story PGCs)? It warns you when it's the case.

Anyway, you should not process the VTS containing the version of the movie you want to keep. (Click the "Skip" button on the right side of the GUI.) This way, VobBlanker will not modify the movie VOBs at all.

Try PgcEdit. Blanking a whole VTS is really not difficult, and, unlike VobBlanker, it doesn't modify the VOB files.

Ak ok

I didnt realize skip would do that. But how come the movie would do slight freezes is what I dont get.?

I really don't know. I think you're the first one to report that problem.

What kind of media are you using? Cheap media is usually the issue.

Read and implement this (http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=49635).

Consider DVD Shrink or the commercial CloneDVD2. With the former you can uncheck everything but the version you want, with the latter you can uncheck "Preserve menus" and select only the movie version you want. As long as the remaining data isn't too much to fit on your disk there's no reprocessing done, so it's very fast and simple.

... and if you do not want to shrink the DVD but want to burn a DVD-9, just change the media type in the DVD Shrink preferences.
