What tool can I use to cut end credits off of a movie?

[baddbill]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a tool that I can use to cut the end credits off of a movie. Right now I'm using the DVD2AVI/vStrip method that 2COOL and others use. This method works great except that when you reach the end of the cut movie in a stand alone player, it doesn't know that it has reached the end of the movie, and it keeps searching for the next frames, as if the disk was badly scratched. On some stand alone players the player locks up or says to remove and clean the disk. I believe this happens because using the DVD2AVI/vStrip method doesn't update the ifo.

Does anyone know of a program that I can use to cut the end credits off of a movie and it updates the information in the ifo file? I tried using the crop feature in DVDShrink but it rewrites the entire ifo.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cutting off the credits isnt your problem, (which, I came up with that method...pat on my own back...), its what you cut off. The IFO hasnt been updated with the new cell times, or links to cut cells still exist. Create a new ifo, and use IFOupdate to patch it in, in some cases there are commands cut off in the credits, or possibly a vob id at the tail end that you cut off, I sometimes, strip by VOB id, and append the little dummy frames to the end to keep the continuity of play. Check it out, view the cut off credit vobs in DVD2avi, I bet you will see your problems...
