Hi all.
I spent 2 days trying to figure out how to change the original movie menu to work with my ripped version, and nothing.
Let me explain:
I have two movies on one dvd - the main one I want to keep and an extra that I don't need.
There is one main menu that has 3 options: to play the main movie, to select scenes from the main movie, and to play the extra movie.
If I select extra movie, I get another menu with 3 options as well: to play it, to select scenes from it and to return to the main menu
Now, I ripped the main movie and, using IfoEdit, hacked ifo's and vts_01_0.vob, which contains all the menus for the main movie plus some commercials that I ripped off.
So, I got the main movie vobs and a hacked menu vob that has only the scene selection menu.
When I play the movie, it starts at once, and works fine.
If I press Chapters button, I get chapters menu, which also works fine when I choose a specific scene - movie goes there and plays just fine.
But, the last button in scene selection menu that originally returns to the main menu is not working anymore.
When I select it, it just goes to the beginning of scene selection menu, and then I can't use root menu and title menu anymore.
So, if I select chapters menu, I can't go back to the movie unless I select some chapter from this menu.
What I need is to change the command associated with that "Return to the main menu" button so that when I select it, it goes back to the movie playing, whether on the very beginning of the movie or the same place it was before I selected chapter menu.
I tried digging through vts_01_0.vob file with IfoEdit, but couldn't understand anything.
I also tried using MenuEditor to associate a command to the last item in scene menu, but then the whole menu stops working...
Tested with Jump_TT, Jump_VTSsomethingsomething and other "likely" candidates, but nothing.
Can anybody explain to me how and with what software to change menu items in ANY menu I keep when ripping, so that I can select a key elements, like beginning of the movie, current position or a particular scene when I select some button on the menu?
What are the meanings of all those commands, their parameters etc (simple explanations please :)), what command there are that can be used for moving through the dvd structure that a beginner like me can use, etc etc...
I didn't find in any forums here some explanation of how to rework the menus or what tool to use to easily modify existing or create your own menus, so I think my questions here are same many of us have.
Cheers, Andrea
