Hello,
I have a DVD which is just a wee bit too big to burn, and using IFOedit on the PC to strip out some extras has not brought my filesize down enough to burn to DVD. So, I decided to compress the VOB file containing the DVD menus with ffmpegX.
After doing so, I have what appears to be a perfectly good VOB/mpeg2 file I can play with VLC, but when I use this file to replace what is on the DVD I mess up the DVD.
Does anybody know why this is happening? Is my best bet to discard the menu file and restructure the DVD using IFOedit, or is there a way to do what I'm describing? I do not want to compress the movie itself.
Hope this question makes sense!

hi
In DVD there is some information files in VIDEO_TS folder ,like VIDEO_TS.IFO ,VTS_xx_x.IFO etc . All of the information about DVD is in these file .for example the total size of the DVD . You only compress the vob file ,of course the VLC can decode the vob file and display . But for the total DVD ,the information is original ,example the Total Size . So,the DVD Player can't play the DVD correctly.
i am sorry to suggest any software to do this for you .
Yesea

it offers you the possibility to get rid of languages, subtitles, extras etc you don't need, so the movie itself, its quality is often very good. and it's fast

Yeah, but as I said I don't want to compress the video.
The Mac really needs a port of IFOedit.

so, again: why don't you get rid of the menu?
while making a safety-copy of spiderman i found out, the movie itself was almost 4,2Gigs; the rest of 3somethinGigs were just menus, languages, extras........ so, the movie DIDN'T need any new, "harder" compression....-
but your right: on the pc side there much more tools for "fumbling" with dvds, mpgs, GOPs editors, rippers etc........
a friend told me "who has money for a Mac has money for orginal dvds!"
