********************************************************
UPDATE 1/30/03: It has come to my attention that I failed to notice that there was actually TWO Aspect Ratio Selection Menus in this movie. My apologies on previous guide. The post in the original first thread was for disabling the first aspect ratio menu that appeared after you pressed the Play button in main menu. The second one appeared after you selected a chapter in your Scene Selection Menus.

Guide has now been updated to show edits for getting rid of our second Aspect Ratio Selection Menu. Added commands are highlighted in blue.

How ironic...What's the Worst That Could Happen?.:(
*********************************************************

This is a guide on just getting rid of this movie’s aspect ratio selection menu. There are still other stuff left for you to disable on your own. I’ve provided edits for either widescreen or fullscreen.

Tool I used:
IFOedit 0.95

VTS_08_* is our Widescreen movie
VTS_09_* is our Fullscreen movie
