easy way to remove extras?

[brynolf]

Is there some kind of easy to use program that lets you completely strip out extras and still keep working menus, like clonedvd but without recoding the movie (I think its transcoder is pretty bad...).

Programs like recode2 doesn't remove the extras completely...

[daddy_fizz]

do a search for a program called dvdstripper, it will do what you are looking for

Where's Mackem when you need him? From what I understand this program does exactly what you want. It's not free but it's very reasonably priced.

what I do to strip a disc is just reauthor it in DVDShrink.

Its pretty simple you just drag the main movie into the left window then encode as usual.

When you do it right there is no menus at all, the movie just auto loads with no nonsense fumbling around with menus.

I have dvd in my truck, and I backup my dvd's this way for the truck, so you can just put the movie in and let it play without messing with the remote.

@JustinH

You failed to read exactly what brynolf wants in first post. Everyone has their own personal preferences. ;)

To enthusiastically ratify ..... as mentioned above:

The program you need is DVDStripper created by MackemX & The Mad Guy, aka TMG!

For ease of use, efficiency and as a "stripper" step before employing DVDShrink when size reduction is necessary, it can't be beat[en]!

Also!....MackemX's general & specific support is "Top-Drawer".

Excepting 'one' processing anomally due to a specific DVD's complex/deep structure, DVDStripper has performed exactly as advertized for both my many single feature & episodic back ups WHEN USED/SETUP exactly as the authors specify.

Instructions including a "flash" website for this program's use are readily available & enable even a novice to 'ramp-up'& achieve desired results f a s t.

[MackemX]

@brynolf, you can try 2COOL's guides and I have flash versions of them. You could also try the noki's DVDShrink plus menu's method over at DVDRHelp

Recode should really strip the extras, is this just with one DVD or a few?

I still have the old (sadly now deleted threads) which make very interesting reading at this moment in time now the dust has settled

I'm not 'around' because DVDStripper is classed as being 'commercial' and I will get accussed of spamming by other members. DVDStripper was singled out at the top of this forum for a long time and everyone lived in fear for getting a strike if they dare mention it's name because it does the job for them. They are told to use the DVDStripper forum in this thread HERE (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=63518)

If you feel the need to share your success stories, do also use the official forum because unless you are explicitly asked, you must not use our bandwidth to say how something works for you

it's not there now as it's been moved into a single sticky thread but the DVDStripper name still remains as the only 'commercial' tool being mentioned ;)

I respect this forum but I won't go crawling to Doom9 asking him to remove it which is what I know he would want me to do. People know me and I speak my mind but I try to be fair and within the rules. I have waited instead as Doom9 said he would continue this. I was thinking maybe after a while it would be removed but sadly it hasn't been and I'm not surprised to say the least

If I was to say what I have experienced during my DVDStripper experience then the flames would really start burning and maybe one day I will. I guess some people need to be brought down a peg or two :). All I can say is that ignorance is rife and this I hate as would others. Is a simple Yes/No/Please don't bother me response that hard to write?

I'm a nobody who came up with a simple but effective program and it's unbelievable how many people's toes I have stepped on during that time. All because I tried to make a tool that people wanted but decided to charge for it :p. I ask how many posts do you see where people are screaming it's a ripoff/con as it's just a GUI for the other 2 programs?

personally I just drop the 'commercial' crap as I'm basically just forcing a small donation so it keeps me motivated. There you go, it's a plain as that and just like the vast majority of people, I can't afford to spend all my 'free' time doing something for nothing ;)

Do you have a link for those guides?

My experience is that recode does not remove the extras but replace them with something else. I want it completely stripped.

I also have a bad subtitle experience with recode2.

I can't comment on your Recode issue but I can understand the issue you are suffering from as it will all depend on how the streams are modified

Oh boy.. either you forgot all about our PM and Email exchange or you chose to forget. I told you many times over about my decisions and I had the impression you understood. Now you're trying to fall in my back. You are not a victim here. Read the post you linked to again, I have given you your followup. DVDStripper is one of the programs that was hyped beyond reason and it clearly ranks as number one in the hype before release list right on this very board. And it frankly is the only commercial program to be in that list. I don't see the authors of CCE, Nero, etc. come on this board and hype upcoming versions.. do you?

The other project to get as much flak is Matroska and if you actually bothered to once read up on it, you could drop the "poor me" attitude once and for all. You hype it, you advertise it and you're getting shot at.. that's how things work in this forum. It's a free place and if you want to use it to make money for your own product, it's only understandable that such ideas aren't welcome.

If you talk about fairness.. where's my cut for the free PR you got on this very board?

[MackemX]

I haven't forgot about our PM/Emails, I just thought by now the name would have been dropped from the thread as times change. You saying that is should be the only commercial tool in the list is exactly what I'm going on about

the so called 'hype' was my excitement at being a nobody coming up with something people are forever and still asking for, a tool to remove all the crap without having to use the long manual methods. It was nothing more and I hadn't been secretly planning a big publicity stunt weeks before and purposely abusing the boards. I was a big part of this forum and felt I was very welcome here and fellow members liked to know what I was up to. You seem to think I just wanted to make as much money as I could and use any means to do it. Why didn't you stop it or even warn me at the time as there were plenty of opportunities for anyone to step in, even when you were gone

it was the 'flamers' who made it a lot bigger than what it was with their incorrect accusations as it would have died down by itself. That's what all the main fuss was about and not me saying people should buy it. The accusations that it was ripping off Derrow and Lightning UK and was just a GUI for the tools were what fueled the flames. Where are those guys now I wonder? and it's a shame the threads have now been removed so people can actually see what was said back then

as for the free PR, this forum actually gave DVDStripper bad PR because of all that crap as nobody dare say anything about it afterwards. I've even had no response from you since just after it's release after contacting you about a new release, a PM and a small donation so what have I done to be ignored? I've got no problems donating for the upkeep of the board but I don't feel very welcome here at all anymore and I seem to get no response from people via emails/PM's so I find it hard to click the Donate button at the minute

what if I'd took up your offer of being a moderator before all this had started, would things have been handled different?

DVDStripper was born and created at Doom9 as a lot of testers were Doom9 members. For some strange reason some people assumed it was free and then also started flaming it for being a ripoff GUI frontend for free applications and after that I was an outcast. If it was free it would have been so much different but that's what the main issue is with me. Why should it be different as long as people are happy with what they are getting, should it matter if they pay or not as to whether they can say it works for them or can we only say how good Rejig, DVDShrink etc. work?

Why is it some of the free tool programmers end up working for software companies instead of donating their skills to the community for free?. It's probably for the same reasons I did what I did

I still find it so funny how you can put me, probably the smallest guy you can get, in the same league as the likes of Pinnacle etc who probably sell 1,000 times more than what I do if not a lot more. I thought even if I charged for something you would still be behind the little guys regardless (and donations to you ain't a problem if it's a bandwidth issue). If anything I would probably make more money asking for donations and also a lot more respect but I chose another way just as some others would. Who knows maybe one day it will all be free

I apologise for being over enthusiastic about something that I wanted and others did and finally got after 6 months of asking. Have any of the flamers apologised to me for the crap they posted? or even just PM'd to say OK I was wrong to assume

I guess Arianos's post in the other thread summed it up, this forum has changed recently and it's not like it was this time last year when everyone was putting in their piece making this the liveliest forum around

Doom9, the bottom line is, stop thinking I tried to take advantage of your boards for my own personal financial gain. That is so far from the truth and if you think otherwise you are so mistaken. Why would I have spent countless hours over the last year or more helping 1000's who have visited my site or read my posts here if it wasn't in my nature to be helpful just like many others around. I'm plain old MackemX and I'll always be MackemX and a program ain't going to change me

I've got a donation link on my site yet not one person has donated and you can also see how many have donated to another large DVD site and it's not many

I've just read your follow up but why does everything have to be 'free'? If it's value for money or people are happy with a product is it any different?

I guess it's no good flogging a dead horse, but it would be nice to see it have a proper funeral :)

I'm off anyway and thanks to anyone who could be bothered to read this ;)

Hi Doom9

Reading the above, a small question which came to my mind, why do you tolerate in the vob editors forum the posts/stickies etc on a program like like for instance MenuEdit, Is Dimad not doing excatly the same as mackemX (or does het get away with his free 'trial' version, which is a joke of course, it is only to get people interested and then let them buy the full version)

Think MackemX made great contributions to this board and earned some better treatment

Maybe I have missed something but seems that the policy you describe is not being applied consistent, or am I mistaken ?

regards, Jippie
