Cutting of movie in DVD2SVCD

[machura]

Can be add into DVD2SVCD options for set BEGIN and END of movie ?
F.eg. movie has lenght 2:04:20, but true begin of movie is on 0:01:10 and end can be on 1:58:30.
Or it is not possible, because CC* doesnt support it ?

I have not tried it but I would think you could change the movie offset seconds in the bbmplex tab to 70 for the start. You can't do anything about the end. Try it and let us know.

Hi machura and DDogg,

i think i found a way to cut the end of the movie by following a hint of Mozart in this thread:

I used DV Tool 0.24b (from Doom9 site - of course ;)) for it. Just load the last VOB (do backup before) in it's File Processor and cut of the last MBs (in fact that is not so easy as you can cut only MBs and not minutes of, so it's the good old try and error way) then just hit "start" button and that's it. Now you can use dvd2svcd's internal routines for the ripping and the end is cut of. ;) I tried with 2 different movies and everything was fine (even doing only chapter's is still working).

But it is still a beta-Tool and it has to be verified by a few others to recommend it for this purpose. ;)

Usually the text at the end of the movie is last chapter. I use SmartRipper and tells it to rip all but the last chapter.

I would also appreciate an easy way to set begin and end point for encoding, since "Matrix" starts the end text 40 seconds into the last chapter;)
