Have used the tool a couple of time now both with successful results - thanks Jdobbs for a great tool!

Can the author (or some other clever forum member) please explain how to use the tool for the following scenarios -

1. The Main Movie is not VTS01_xx and you want to retain another VTS. For example a trailer on VTS01_xx and main movie VTS02_xx.

2. You have multiple VYS's that you want to retain, but you need to compress more than one to keep healthy playing versions (ie they are too big to compress just one of them). For exa,ple, VTS01_xx is 4MB uncompressed and VTS02_xx is 3.5MB uncompressed - if you want both you need to compress both!

The problem for both scenrios is the same - DVD2One always creates VTS01_xx title sets so I need a way of converting a VTS01_xx set into a VTSyy_xx, where yy is the original title set number. For scenario 2 I have figured out the way to run Makeit Easy twice to compress each title set - the probelm is still that I need to be able to change one of the resulting VTS's back to its original number. I have looked for other tools to do this but failed (I notice Doitfast4U has a likely looking function - but this is for encoding only right?).

Sorry if this issue is resolved elsewhere but I could not find it last night. Thanks in advamce.

That's an easy one. You rename them.

And the easy way to rename a bunch of files is with the command console ("DOS Box"). CD to the directory,and enter the following:
ren vts_01_?.* vts_xx_?.*
where "xx" is your new titleset number

Oh dear, how embarrasing, is it really that simple? I thought all the pointers in the title set would be affected - I bow to your greater knowledge!
