You should be able to disable the commentary either with your remote or through the menu.

i will give that a try i dont think the movie has a menu cause its been shrinked but i will try and disable it

bighap is corrent
you can disable or choose the audio tracks with the remote (no menu becuase you only backed up the movie)
however if you don't want the commentary to be in the movie at all then only pick the main audio when backing up the movie (bullet point #6 on my previous post)

EVOEvo · #19 08-09-2003, 15:37

ok i would rather it not be on there so theres like 4 check boxes that r in the audio folder which one do i uncheck for it not to have that

most of the time the audio comentary are put at the bottom
I usually only keep one audio track English 6ch(5.1) AC3 sometimes you also get DTS or 2ch audio and different languages too so it's really up to what you want
also sometimes there are 2 or 3 (maybe more) audio comentary tracks, but like I said they usually are pushed to the bottom
or for a better solution you can play the dvd on your pc and listen to all the different audio tracks with you dvd playing software.

ok when i ripped fast and the ferious it took me 80 mins first time ten 80 mins again is there any way to speed this up cause thats along time how fast dose this go on urs i got a 1.4 gig amd and dvd xpress copyed alot quicker then this program and had great pic qualty but it just frozze up if it didnt do that it would work great and only took like 1 hour to read and burn dvdshrink takes 2 hours 40 mins thats for just reading and another hour to burn

kooldraco · #22 08-09-2003, 19:41

sounds like you are doing something wrong, most movies take me about 30 minutes to get it from the original dvd to my hardrive ready to burn (movie only) using dvdshrink, i got 1.8 gig chip.
why does it take you 80 minutes? and twice?
did you follow the steps i gave you?

EVOEvo · #23 08-09-2003, 21:28

yeah it reads the dvd all way through and starts over again for some reson did it both times i used the porogram i dont know why unless its the deep scan that causes it to do this i noticed the first read it dose not say the disk space its takeing up but on the 2nd read it will count from 100 mb to 4.3 gigs and such i know dvd xpress went fast on doing the ripping and burning

kooldraco · #24 08-09-2003, 21:42

are you pressing the "analysis" button, if you are then don't press it anymore you don't have to. only do it if you have like a 3 hour movie.
if that's not the case then I don't know what it could be, i dont' know why it repeats it self

when you say "it reads the dvd all the way throug" do you mean when you press the "open disk" button and window pops up so that you can select the drive where your movie is at, after that it begins reading the disk, is that where it takes 80 minutes? cuz that should only take like 3-5 minutes.

EVOEvo · #25 08-09-2003, 21:43

ok i figerd it out the deep scan takes about 45 mins alone then the read to hd takes about 45 mins then the burn is about 1 hour so if i leave deep scan off it wont take as long how much of a difrance dose deep scan make cause on the lil preview screen they both look the same on quailty cause on dvd xpress it had great pic qualty and it didnt do a deep scan

kooldraco · #26 08-09-2003, 22:15

like i said you don't need the deep scan.... only on movies that are really big and you have to shrink a lot

the video quality without the deep scan is still better than dvdxcopy xpress (trust me, i've compared the 2)

also it should give you a percentage on the little video box, what is it?
only if that percentage is lower than 70% then i recommend you use a deep scan, but a movie like fast and furious if you do movie only and cut out the extra features and extra audio then it should be pretty close to 100% which is no compression at all meaning the videio is left alone and you get the exact original video

did i mention you can cut out the credits at the end of the movie to make a movie shorter and get like an extra 200-300 megs, but we'll leave that for another day.... when you get more confortable with the program.... for now I got to go to sleep

EVOEvo · #27 08-09-2003, 22:42

ok so lower then 70% i think fast and the ferious was like 68% it was almost 70% right now im doing botherhood of the wolf clan and when i got the vide and audio check boxes there was something called subpicture it had check boxes but i un checked them all i didnt think i would need these and i took out the french audio just left in english and on some movies that has deleted sences could i add just them onto a movie and take off the extra junk like the makeing of the moive and video com and stuff and i think i know what u was talking about with the cerdits the start to end icon i went it but didnt know how to use it but i think u can tell it to start at first of moive and end right aftr the last sence

kooldraco · #28 09-09-2003, 09:39

fast and foriouse shoud not be 68% if you are doing movie only, you are probobly doing the entire dvd

if the deleted scenes are not part of the main movie then you would need to join those scenes like at the end of the movie or something, i've read that you can do it with dvdshrink, but it's complicated, i've never done it (i only do main movies)

EVOEvo · #29 09-09-2003, 11:40

ok its prob to hard for me to figer out i will just stick with the movie and the botherhood it works great and dose not have the stupid video com talking all through it

kooldraco · #30 09-09-2003, 11:55

cool, from now on it will only get easier to backup your movies.
remember to follow the steps on that little guide i posted
