cheers. Though it seems you need DVDfab to do it and i only have DVD shrink and DVD decryptor. Never mind

My head hurts after reading through that thread but I gather what's needed is DVDRemake rather than DVDfab?

[dazza76]

Is that a free programme by any chance?

No - click on the link in the FIRST posting in that thread:

The method described works quite nicely, with two caveats, one significant and the other easily resolved:

1) The menu MUST be contained (as the "VTS_0x_0.VOB") in the same .VOB sequence as the movie

2) The .VOB sequence MUST be "VTS_01_x.VOB" (If this is not originally the case, you can change to this numbering sequence AFTER using DVD Shrink to rip the menu/movie sequence of .VOBs (by selecting the menu/movie .IFO instead of the "VIDEO_TS.IFO") and before using DVDFab's "Create Video Manager" to create the (intentionally) missing "VIDEO_TS.IFO" and "VIDEO_TS.BUP" files

Also, there is an older freeware version of DVD Fab available on the 'net. This freeware version works perfectly in the described procedure...

ah, thanks for that setarip - I didn't actually read that one before.

[dazza76]
