Reduce a DVD 9 to DVD 5 with best quality results?

[blutach]

The wizard should work. It's just a matter of getting the input and target settings right. I had an avi which came out black which puzzled me for a bit, until I found the input was black too!!!

(Bet you're using the sample avi!!!)

Why not CCE?

ok - i still havent tried the canopus methos (will give it a shot thought to compare with cce) - i did manage to get improvement on the quality using dvd rebuilder with cce - i didnt know how to specify filters for avisynth - now i do - but i have another question(s) -

1) are there any other filters for avisynth that can specifically improve the quality of the video?

2) i have 2 movies on 1 dvd9 (e.g spiderman, shrek) - i only want to extract shrek including all its submenus & extras...please reccomend a program that can do this - i have tried it with elby clone dvd 2 but it starts the dvd from the title menu where u can choose spiderman or shrek - i want it to start directly from the shrek menu!

Thanks

Depends on your source also, check out the sticky post in the rebuilder forum. Use Lremovedust_YV12(), works for most sources.

Rip it to your HDD first and then use VOBblanker to blank out/ remove the video which is not required.

Use PGCedit to remove those extra menu items.
