I just finished burning my first ever trial DVD back up, using Sopranos - Season 1 - Vol 1, via InstantCopy. The quality was ok(not to original standards), but my problem is that the sequential order of the 4 titles/episodes were mixed up. Title 4 in the main menu was actually title 2 on the DVD, etc. Anyone ever experience this dilema? Is there a solution? What can I do to correct this so that the main menu coresponds to the correct title/episode?

I've noticed in the settings of InstantCopy, under 'Details', then under the tab'DVD', if 'Automatic Resize' is selected as the copy method, the main menu is included. If 'Custom Resize' is choosen as the copy method, only the movie section, without the main menu is copied. For my InstantCopy, I chose 'Automatic Resize'. Could this be where I went wrong?

Once InstantCopy created the PDI file set, I simply used the PDITool utility to 'Extract All' to a seperate folder, then used Nero to burn to a DVD.

Heeeeelp!! Anyone?????

same old same old :)

depends on how you ripped it, what settings are within DVDDecypter/SmartRipper, whether you ripped the complete DVD, or you stripped any Titles using IC along with your settings in IC and lastly what % the menu was at

try your settings the way I have them in my guide (see sig) and it will give you a better start on your success, you can always fine tune them after

Also untick the automatic resize and try to keep the menu @ 60% (50% works also) and divide the rest out between the episode Titles evenly

remember to oversize to around 4.6Gb also, though series DVD's normally need a lower setting

then it should work, as someone else has got this to work HERE (ttp://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=46269)

Some of the Sopranos DVD's are out of order. If you're keeping everything it should be okay but if you keep just the movies than it will be out of order. I'm on season 3 right now and so far they're in order. I'm just using Ifoedit and DVD2One. I don't need the menus.
