Four disc BTTF? I don't think there is such a thing? Not in the US anyway.. Sorry I turned this into a BTTF thread. My sister and I were both sick from school one day so mom let us stay home and we watched my crazy BTTF tape. Having it in WS with DVD quality though.. that would be cool. The way I made it before was I just left all of the credits in, but I think I cut the titles out of 2 and 3. Part 1 ended on the garage door. When Marty opened the garage, it was now Part 2. For part three, I tried to cut it as close to "To be concluded.." appeared on the screen when Marty is trying to wake up Doc, which you don't see on Part III. Part III cuts out as soon as Doc hits the ground.

Anyway, Yes I'm sure there will be plenty of Star Wars next year. I am excited for it all. You know me, I love the prequels and special editions. It's kinda sad that every time I say that I feel the need to clarify with "Seriously, I'm not kidding." To be honest, it really takes a lot for me to not like a movie. As long as it has action/ comedy/ something cool/ something exciting, I love it. So yeah- About Schmidt- hated it. Electra and even BloodRayne- I thought were kinda cool.

That would actually be kinda cool to watch - and easy to do with the DVDs.

I'll just add it to my list of 100 other projects to work on.


I thought about it. I wonder if there is a way to remove the opening credits on Back to the Future III? For part II it's easy. Just delete the flying thru the clouds. Part 3 actually has credits over the drive to Doc's, Marty and Doc aspleep with the hoverboard floating around, and Howdy Doody on TV.

Probably. I started out making stuff like this on VHS. Pretty easy that way. I made a 6 hr tape of all 3 Back to the Futures into one movie. Y'know, just connect two VCR's: hit record, hit pause, repeat. I'm starting to learn how to do this on DVD's now. It's a bit tricky. I'm not ready for the whole creating new effects myself or recoloring, etc. I think I can join two pieces of video together alright though.

I mean I think it will be the "cool" 3D- like Chicken Little, and the Honey I Shrunk the Audience, T2 and others at Disney and Universal Theme Parks. At least I was impressed by those. I am really looking forward to seeing these in digital 3D! If only they could have real actors running around and have like actual (fake) space debris hitting us in the theater. When Jar Jar steps in poo, it could feel like we just stepped in poo and stuff. Seriously though, it would be cool if for Darth Vader's entrance in A New Hope, that if someone in a Darth Vader costume would bust thru the screen like T2 the ride and stuff.

Hmm, lemmie look at the menus on the DVD I burnt and see how it is for me. I really didn't change how long the subs are displayed. Only when they should start, but I will watch the Dooku scene tonight.

For resume to work properly, you have to have watched a bit of the movie first. (Not the Yoda dance either). That's just how that button is designed to work with DVDLab Pro. So start the movie, hit Menu, then you can use the resume menu button if you'd like to. I'm glad everything worked out and you guys like it. Go ahead and do with it as you please. It would be flattering or something to see someone use
these subs in another project.

Hmm, downloaded 75 times... I wonder what those 70-some other prople think...

Um, both. There actually isn't enough text in the Backstroke version to make a full crawl.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?


I had this problem with another movie before, but i forget why. I think it may have been that I didn't check enough boxes for animorphic video. Check all of the buttons for the subs and "both" for the video.

I'm unable to bring up the window while it's doing its business, but when I see that it's not writing any more data into the folder, I force quit it and drop the VOBs into the VIDEO_TS folder. Maybe that's where the issue lays for me.


Yeah it does that. Just wait dor it to actually say it's finished. It will create ifo's when it's done and give a message saying it's done. These ifo's won't knows about my menus, however, which is why you need my replacement ifos. Just leave your computer running for a while and go do somehthing else until it's done.

I guess 5.1 audio would have been better. I was just trying to keep it small. There's probably not much mb difference between a 2.0 and 5.1 ac3 file, though, is there?

Glad you finally got it working Art! I'm glad I could be of help. In return, does anyone here have newsgroup access and can get my the Street Fighte II movie DVD-9 fansub from alt.binaries.anime? I can't seem to figure out how or what to do to even get into a newsgroup.

Mine is CHARLOTTE too. I was about to ask the same thing. According to wikipedia, the CHARLOTTE discs are rarer or something. There is some weird form of copy protection? or something like that on the disc. When you rip the chapter points, there are 72 for some reason, even though there are only 50 chapters. It took me a while to find out which 50 of the 72 were the REAL ones.

When I demuxed the video, all I got was 6 VOB files. Where did you all get the 7th? Straight video and second audio track, right? Should only be 6.9 gig.

What am I doing wrong?


Use SmartRippper.

If ypu have the DVD in your DVD-Rom drive, it will try to read it. It may say something about files being locked. If so, use PowerDVD (or whatever software player you have) to play the movie or a few seconds first. What I usually do is just play it and then skip around a few chapters and stuff. Smartripper should automatically find the main movie on the disc. If not, it's Title 7, program chain 1. Click on "Stream processing". Click on "none" to deselect all files on the next screen. Click the check box next to "VIDEO NTSC" and change the little selector to "demux to extra file". Do the same thing for the second audio track (English AC3 2ch). Change the target folder to your demuxed folder. Click on Start. (Start will not appear if you don't have enough HD space.)

You should end up with an ac3 audio file and and m2v video file, as well as some blank vob files and stuff. Use these m2v and ac3 files and start over with the instructions from "Star Wars BotW kit" in the first post.
