@jdobbs,
First of all, thanks for the effort you have put in to the Makeiteasy tool.
However, it doesn't really make sense that the extra's keep the high bitrate, higher then the movie itself ... it should be the other way round, or at least the same.
Now, I remember you wrote this :

I have an idea for stretching the capability of this program. I could actually pull all the CELLs from all the VOB sets and put them all together as if they were one. You could then run DVD2one, and MakeItEasy could then rewrite them to the proper VTS and update the IFOs. That way padding wouldn't really be necessary.
The problem is that I don't want to waste a lot of time creating an incredibly elegant solution for something that will be fixed in two weeks. Wish I knew when the next version of DVD2one was going to be released and what capabilities it will have.

Since we now know that Erwin is putting his efforts toword protecting the software registration code rather then the 1:1 feature, do you think you could have another look at this ?
They don't want to give out any release dates, but my estimate would be that it will take at least another month or two before they release anything that will do the menus.
I don't understand why they are wasting time with the registration crack protection. It will be cracked the day after it's released, or because they have now put up a challenge for the crackers maybe even the same day. Didn't they learn anything from CloneCD. There's no registration key algorithm more powerfull then the one Olli wrote, and that now has a keygen as well ... finally he gave up and focussed on improving the software instead.
People that don't want to pay for this will use a crack or a shared serial ... there's nothing they can do about that... no matter how good a programmer Erwin is ...
Anyway, I'm deviating from the subject matter, I would appreciate it if you would have a second look at that option you were talking about, and I'm sure a LOT of other people would appreciate it too.
