Note: This is about copy to DVD-R, not VCD or SVCD, but any input would be great.

In the past I have used 2 ripping methods to fit things onto 1 disk. Either a) strip out extras and lauguages until they fit or b) reencode the main movie files and just make a new menu manually. These to things have served me very well until now... now I have run into something I hope does not catch on and if so I want to know if anyone else can tell me out to tackle it.

On the disk in question there is only 1 vob set, all extras and the main movie are inside of it... to make matters worse the movie is not in order inside the vobs! One has the first scene as well as some previews, the second has part of the second scene and even more previews. Some of the end scenes are near the first vob and some of the first scenes (such as the opening credits) are in the first vobs.

How on earth do I back this thing up? the total size of the disk is almost 8gb... I'm stuck. Anyone have suggestions?

You could start by telling us what the title of the movie is. Does the title use seamless branching or angles?

None of those, and its a random porn movie... would have to check the title when I get home.

ok, its a single VTS, but is it only one title in that VTS?

otherwise just reencode a selected part of the VTS.

heh, I have no idea. I'm starting to think I'm in over my head on this dvd backup thing... maybe I should switch to something easier... like physics. :D

Let me look into it some more this weekend and see if I can figure out the answers to those questions.

play the DVD in windows media player (v8 will, nfi if 7 does it fine or not) and look on the playist and see how many titles there is.

It was one of those cheap ass 4hr compilations out of Caballero.

At the end of EVERY chapter they had Phone sex video.....which happened to be part of their "extras" as well.

Anyway ...look carefully in the ifo and u will see that there is a consistent VOB id for all of these "inserts". Yiipppee-Cai-o.
:D

use ifoedit ...and strip that porn movie..down to its bare essentials!....lol
:rolleyes:

BTW I split it to 2 disks ...rencoding 4hrs of questionable Q video ain't too bright.
