View Full Version : VobBlanker and multiangle

Here's my situation, I have a DVD which consists of 49 Titles all with 2 angles and all the titles are stored within the same VTS. I want to blank out Titles 2-25 and keep the rest plus the menu.

I opened with VobBlanker, and it said there was an unsupported/multiangle cell and will skip that VTS. Then it said there was an ILV cell and will skip it.

I decided to process the VTS anyway despite the error messages. I blanked out the titles I wanted and processed.

Everything seemed to play fine and the menus work fine.

Now here's what happens, when I try to change angles during playback it remains on Angle 1.
But when I skip to another title, it starts playback with Angle 2.
I skip to another title, starts playback with Angle 2.
Try to change to Angle 1, remains playing Angle 2.
Skip to another title, starts playback with Angle 1.

So it's not changing angles on the fly during playback like the original, only when a title has re-started playing.

I compared the cell types with PGCEdit, and the only difference was that the original was "interleaved" and the ripped one wasn't. Ticking the boxes didn't do anything (it actually locks up the player).
There are 2 cells in each PGC, on the original when I preview a cell it skips between the 2 angles (which I guess is what it means by "interleaved"). On the ripped version one cell has only the first angle, and the second cell has only the second angle.

I can only assume that VobBlanker does not support interleaved multiangle, so are there any other utilities that do or I should try?

Thanks.

Use CloneDVD.
After that you can edit with Ifoedit/PgcEdit.

Okay, I figured out a way to do it. Use DVDShrink in Full Disc mode, set everything to No Compression, and then highlight the titles I want to blank out and select Still Image. BAM! I now have only the titles I want AND can change angles on the fly!
