looking to remove bits from a dvd .

ive copied sexy beast to the hard drive and as many of you know film 4 fill the start of their dvds with loads of advertising & warnings.

is there a way to delete these ?
do i just delete them or do i need to use ifo edit or something similar ?

help appreciated

cheers

Try DVD Shrink. The program is supposed to be excellent for ripping.

Word of warning...I've tried simply deleting them before...it will not work...your copy will not play! Three is however a bright side...though you didn't ask for it...you can delete any extras if their VOBs are numerically after you main movie files. I've done this many times with DVD 9's...I was able to delete the crap and end up with a perfect copy on a DVD 5. It acted the exact same way as a DVD 9...except when the menu came up if you chose one of the deleted files, the DVD would be ejected. Give it a try on a DVD-RW if you want to experiment.

what you need is software called dvddecrypt and dvd2one, you use dvddecrypt to get ALL the files from the dvd and the use dvd2one to take just the movie.
or use dvdshrink to get the whole movie and extras on one 4.7gb dvd-+r. it recodes the movies to fit if its larger than 4.7gb. you only get a very slight loss in quality. if the first recode doesnt fit, try it at a different level of compression. when burning back to dvd make sure you put all the files into the video_ts folder

Just use dvd2one m8 the latest vesion and choose movie only that will take all the crap out and leave you with the movie

Id recommend DVDShrink to you, and you can download it for free!
It has many more editing features than DVD2one too.

yeah ill give it a go

would like to hang onto features and menus , i knew all the crap could be deleted with dvd2ones movie only setting but id like the real deal where possible

cheers for all the help
