Can this be done?

[simonwim]

I have a DVD thats been authored already by myself (with REEL DVD), ive mistakakenly mis linked the main menu, So when the dvd loads the second menu comes up by default, if you press the main menu button on the second menu it does go back to the main menu. Is there anyway i can alter this in Ifoedit so it goes straight to the main menu?? Ive deleted all the files already so cant re author it.

Would appreciate any helpp how to do the above if possible
thanks

if you could publish your ifo's (inc VIDEO_TS), one could try to help you.
We need to see what pgc is loaded in first play and change it to whatever you wish (the one which loads when when you press the menu button).
Of course, it could be much more complicated and there's no guarantee for success.

umm.. not really. Thought you could upload VIDEO_TS.ifo and VTS_01_0.ifo for me (or anyone) to see.
The only thing I can learn so far is that you can understand Japanese :)

I'd suggest you take some time to learn the basics of ifoedit (2cool's guides, Maa's, Trilight's etc...) just search and read.

All I can say right now is that I believe what you want to do is possible and probably not too difficult for someone who can handle an ifo. Just rip your made DVD, change the ifo(s) and reburn.

Sorry I can't be more specific.

Good luck!

@vav - please read this (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50765)

The original post is about a DVD, that the poster have authored himself, so I do not think the rule would aply, if he shares the IFO himself, as I guess that he would be the copyright holder ?

[mpucoder]

I was in a hurry and missed that point. But I don't think attachments work, so it would have to be uploaded to a server somewhere and linked here.

It seems a little pointless posting a link to 2COOLs guide if its ignored - the answer is already there - do you want jam on it ? :)
