View Full Version : Movie Only with multiple angles: DVD-RB Pro behaviour?

I want to keep only the main movie with no extras.
What's the DVD-RB Pro behaviour, will it keep the angles?
My movie is:
VTS_07 7653mb

If I look in DVD Shrink, it will show there:
Title 1 6839mb
Title 1 (Angle1) 6840mb
Title 1 (Angle2) 6836mb

Why the difference between 7653mb and 6840mb, for example?
Thanks for explaining.

movie only will keep the angles.

not 100% sure about the shrink values, but i'd imagine that there are 813mb for the 2nd angle (in addition to the 1st angle) and that's why you see 7653 in rb.

Don't you have any menus on the file VTS_07_0.VOB?

It would be nice if the user could choose one angle to be kept and the others to be deleted in movie-only mode. In Star Wars Ep. 4-6 for example the angles are just used to display the text at the beginning (yellow text that scrolls through space) in different languages - I would like to just keep the angle with my mother tongue.

P.S.: @ jdobbs: Would you mind taking a look at my thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=94928) ? No one has answered it yet :(

rockas, you're right, I have some menus in there, so I guess that's the answer.
For authoring, it's easy. Simply re-author the movie with DVD Shrink and keep only what you want from it. Save it as .iso, with no compression.

However, I heard that this procedure will alter a little the movie quality. DVD Shrink does not like the fact there is no compression at all in a movie, since it was designed originally to compres it to a single layer level.

Any expert know the answer to this issue?
Thanks guys.

If you use 100% it will alter the video.
But if you use "no compression" the stream is untouched, as far as I know.
