Hi.
I have "solaris" dvd, which contains some warnings at the begin.
When i open dvd in Shrink, it shows them as part of the menu set.
Regarding to that i have 2 questions:

1) How can i copy the whole dvd but without some special parts, like unnecessary menu parts or fbi warnings? (I could strip them from the movie, but they are extra vob-files.)

2) If i do re-author and put the titles i want per drag and drop into the re-author window, would shrink keep the dvd structure or just add all the videos after each other and play them in that order without opportunity to choose them from menu?

How can i keep the dvd structure with menus but get rid of some parts on dvd?

Thx a lot!

Check out 2Cools guides - you'll find some about bypassing logos etc.

The main trick is based on setting the "post" commands to "pre" so they are executed and the film jumps to after the logo before even playing it - very cool ! Its all possible with the freeware IfoEdit.

CodeWarrior,

U can also totally strip it using 'Menu Extras' in IFOEdit. :) So, your options are wide opened.;)

MenuEdit seems to be a very nifty tool.
I guess, I can use an IfoEdit-Method also.

Thank u, guys!

is menuedit still under active development? Seems to have been awhile since the last update.

I thought menuedit only edits buttons - FBI warnings and the like don't have buttons so what functions does menuedit for such cases ?

The registered version can replace cells with another cell. In this case, a blank 15 ms cell. You'll be surprised on how MenuEdit has evolved from the first version. It's a great asset in my backup software inventory to have IMO. Before it came along, a lot of people were hexediting the menu VOBs and this hard-to-find procedure wasn't easy to explain to a newbie.
