lion king menu

[bartender22]

Hi,

I was trying to backup lion king 1 pal with the big3, but the menu is 650mb large.
In a nfo from another backup someone made of Lion King, i noticed that they had stripped the menu partially.

So i started numenu to strip it, but it only contains english.
On the site of numenu i noticed the following :

NB: Some discs have different language menus that are auto selected by the DVD player. For example in Germany your DVD player will preselect the German Menu. You are unable to access the alternate languages (English and French). On the other hand you may have a disc whereby YOU select the preferred language (usually the first menu shown). This type of disc has only one language unit (the language chosen determines which VOB id's to use) therefore NuMenu4U will only show one language available (commonly English). This is not a fault and there is no way to determine which languages belong to which VOB Cells. In the former example each language uses a different PGC, therefore each language can be shown.

My question is, how can i reduce the size of the menu properly?
any info would be welcome.

don't forget the main principle behind NuMenu4u is to reauthor the menu into a lower bitrate - ie a smaller file size. Perhaps that isn't as clear as it should be.

yes, the main principle is known to me, but the thing that got mentioned on the site of numenu in combination with what the person said in the nfo of lion king made me curious. But i will try to reëncode it.

Thnx for the info

You can strip the foreign language ids with ifoedit

so far i don't know anyone that managed numenu4u to work.
it ripps for sure but doesn't encode, even the last version

I'm quite sure Zeul get's it to work :D

[the phoenix]

so maybe he's the only one, 'cause i have many friends that tried...no sucess
when is there gonna be a tuto ?

Did you try the latest version? Visit the official homepage.

But anyway numenu will not help you to delete foreign languages. You can do that with ifoedit. Numenu will only make your menu smaller by reducing the bitrate

What I would do in your case is to use dvdshink to shink the menu and extra first and keep the movie at 100% (so the process is faster), then delete the main movie file and use the big three to shink the main movie. After reauthored, just copy the main movie VTS to the shrinked directory and use IFOUpdate to update the links.
With DVDShrink you can preview the menu titles and untick the ones you do not want, so they will not be in your final compilation.

Cheers.
