DVDFAB Copy main movie from DVD Guide to One DVD±R

One possiblity of DVDFAB is to strip out all the extra audio like foreign languages, director’s commentary, subtitles, menus, bonus features, trailers, choosing just widescreen rather than both widescreen and fullscreen, etc. to get the size down below 4.37GB.

Open DVDFAB and click Copy main movie from DVD

Source Path: point it to your DVD in your DVD-ROM to the VIDEO_TS directory.
Destination Path: create a dir, click create new folder, highlight, F2 to rename.

Misc Note: Default Streams

You can choose the default stream with the right mouse button Once you right-click it’ll turn red indicating it’s the default stream. This starts playing Spanish audio without having to switch to it with your remote when you play the movie.


DVDFAB Copy main movie from DVD Guide to Two DVD±Rs

Why would you want to do main movie only instead of menus and extras? Perhaps you don’t like FBI warnings, time-consuming menus, etc. DVDShrink can do this movie at level 6 (30%) but for some that may not be good enough.

Open DVDFAB and click Copy main movie from DVD

==Other Functions==

Create Video Manager (VIDEO_TS.ifo)

If you have only VTS_01_0.IFO+.BUP and VTS_01_1…n.VOB files, you can create a VIDEO_TS.ifo that fits.

Correct DVD Sectors

In the VIDEO_TS.IFO ( VIDEO-MANAGER) there are a couple of Sectors (Pointers) to the VTS_xx_n-Files. If you change something on the files, you must correct these sectors before you burn otherwise the DVD won’t run on the dvd-player.

Analyze DVD

I’ve seen the max difference between Estimated and Real to be 0.02. Here it is only 0.002. This did help with Spiderman NTSC R1 Fullscreen edition. After analyzing it it dropped the Real size just enough to be able to keep the English subtitles but most of the time you’ll never have to use it.

Create your own CGPs with TMPGEnc and IfoEdit 0.95 (advanced users only)
or see Making own change graphic packets (CGPs) instructions on DVDFAB homepage


Move Subtitles
 can be used the change the position of subtitles. Those of you who have certain non 16:9 widescreen movies with subtitles will know that sometimes the subtitles are displayed in a position where you can no longer see them on screen (stretching a 4:3 widescreen picture to fit a 16:9 TV is such a situation). This function allows you to move the subtitles to a position where you can once again see them.thanks doom9
