You cant't do this until now. Extras have it's own ifo and most time other settings as the movie itself (Languages, aspect ratio, etc)

It can be done, but you must make individual file folders for each otherwise the files will replace each other. You are better off not using DVD2SVCD for this process because you lose the advantage of 1 program for all tasks. If you want to use DVD2SVCD you will have many small files for each special feature represented by own *.vob.

[sehh]

Please explain this a little further to us.

You mean we can't rip the extras and use them as 'extras' in the SVCD
with dvd2svcd? (i understand that the svcd specs allow menus etc)

Or, maybe its possible to just rip the main movie, and stick the
extras at the end to make one whole movie (movie+extras in one).

[Labersack]

You can make every extra-part (every part which has its own IFO) with DVD2SVCD. So you will get one CD per IFO. Or you can chose 'don't make images' and use e.g. TSCV to make one CD with several extras. There is until now no way to automaticly do the movie+extras to a set of SVCDs with Menu structure etc. It is possible to do this, but you have to do many steps by hand.

[sehh]

Thanks for the info.

Maybe this could be a future feature for DVD2SVCD? :)

Well, i wouldn't go as far as to make a menu etc, but it would
be nice atleast to stick the extras at the end of the movie. Then
you can add them as 'Chapters' and go to them directly.

Unless someone develops a DVD ripper that pulls up a menu like a DVD player does, there's no realistic way to add the "Bonus" items onto the end of the feature/movie in an automated process. The bonus items can be in so many different configurations on the original DVD that there's no way for a program to figure this out for you. In fact, most bonus items on DVD's are broken into several selectable titles.

[sehh]

Why is there a problem if the extras are in different formats?

As i can see, the 'Title Picture' and the 'CD Change' picture are both
in different format from the main movie. They are low (or high)
resolution mpeg stills. Nothing to do with the movie itself.

Thats why they are written in a different track on their own.

This suggests that it would be possible to stick the extrats in
separate tracks after the movie.

Ofcourse i could be mistaken. I'm only giving a suggestion here.

I did this with Shrek. I made the extras as seperate MPEGs and after this I burned them to the last SVCD of the Movie. It can be done, but you have to calculate the correct bitrate and image the resulting streams by yourself to an ISO-Image.

[sehh]

ok i understand.

although i still insist that this could be done by DVD2SVCD itself. It
could automaticaly create subdirs for the extras to extract into, then
it could do the calculations.

Just a suggestion so we can avoid doing this by hand :)

I referring to the Game Extras.

Ones you can play with your DVD remote.
Like the Movie Trivia Games that when the correct answer is given a clip of the movie is played.

and How about the others DVD-ROM Games
Like on the Shrek DVDs. :D

I was hopeing for some "how to links" and
general suggestions: Like forget it unless you do a
DVD 2 DVD copy or like the pain of spending days/weeks on a game rip.

I love DVD2SVCD, thanks guys!
