The purpose of this Guide is to provide users with information so that even a newbie can, by following this guide, remove the hassle's of converting a multi-angle DVD to a single angle DVD which can be seamlessly used with VOBBlanker (VOBBlanker does not support Multi-angle DVD)
Software used
IFOEdit 0.96(Stable version)
VOBBlanker 2.0.1.0
DVD Decrypter 3.5.4.0 (only req to rip/check)
PGCEdit 0.6.1 (only req to check)
Question 1
How can I determine if my DVD contains multi-angle Videos ????
There are various ways to determine this
a) Use DVD Decrypter, Select Mode = IFO
b) Use PGCEdit, goto Title Menu -> Title PlayMap table, look at the Angles column
c) Open the DVD with VOBblanker -> if it gives you warning like this
......and puts a "Skip" in action automatically in one of the titlesets (VTS_05 in this test), this titleset is the one we need to correct. You can preview the VTS so as to determine which angles to keep, they play sequentialy.
Question 2
I saw an option in DVD decrypter for multi-angle processing, why can't I use it ??
Well,, I tried using that option but the decrypted DVD wouldnt open in Shrink and couldnt process properly with VOBblanker, which in my test case makes it non-workable solution.
Okay the first step would be decrypt the DVD using DVD decrypter in File mode to your HDD. Check if your DVD does contain multi-angle in the VOB's. Note down the name of the titleset for eg in this case "VTS_05" or VTS_05_*.Vob"
Once we are sure lets GO......
Open the decrypted titleset (the one we need to correct) using IFOedit
Click the VOBextras button (at bottom)
Make the settings exactly like below..........change destination directory........... and select the angles you want to retain.
Click on "OK"
Accept the selection prompted by IFOedit for Streams(dont change it, yourself)....click on "Strip"
Go make some coffee and invite me
Once finished,
You will only have the IFO, BUP and VOB's in the destination directory which have been stripped of its angles now.
Copy the rest of the files from the original decrypted folder to this IFOEdit destination
folder...........
OR
a) Notedown the filenames from the IFOedit destination folder.
b) Goto the original ripped folder and cut the files as noted in step a) to a backup folder.
b) Copy the files from the IFOEdit destination folder to the original ripped folder.
Now if you open this folder using Vobblanker you will still see the warning messages but if you check the size of the PGC, it will be less than original (which means the angles are removed now).
Use VOBBlanker and Menushrink as you would normally to reduce size of the DVD.(See my earlier Simplistic Series guide here<HTTP=HTTP: showthread.php?t="57278" forum.digital-digest.com></HTTP>)
