Multi-episode DVDs a success with DVD2One v1.0.1

I'm viewing my Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Operation 2 anime DVD right now and all I can say is...SWEEEEEET!:D:D:D With DVD2One's new feature on giving us the option to resize whatever title we want, it has made my multi-episode DVD a big successful project. I made countless attempts on trying to do this for a long time before v1.0.1 came along. Thanks DVD2One team! Thanks Erwin!! Now I have the faith to do more of these now. PS I forgot to mention that it was a 5 episode DVD with each one averaging about 1.26GB.

So how did you do it? Did you use Dvd2one on each title one at a time? Then demux them all, and reauthor ?? Or did you use IfoEdit to join all the resulting vob's?

We can also used that feature to compress extras. lets assume we have s source that looks like this: VOB 1, main movie, 5 gigs VOB 2, The making of extras, 2 gigs all other vobs plus VOB 1_0 = 300mb To make a complete backup, set size for the main movie at 3gigs. Then run DVD2one with the "making of" has source and set size at 1 gig. Then copy all other vobs in a folder plus the 2 re-encode set of vobs and you have a full DVD-9 to DVD-5 backup. DVD2one is so fast it pretty doable depending on the structure of the source DVD. :D

Ok I'm going to try your method. I've never used Ifoupdate before. I'm not sure what it does.

Is there a problem with step 5?? it says you rename the dvd2one ifo file to the correct name and drag it to the original folder. but won't that overwrite the original ifo file before you have a chance to ifoupdate it?

hahah. get some sleep :)

OK I just went through the entire thing. But I can't test it till tonight since I'm on a remote connection. I got the final DVD from 7 gigs to 4.12 gigs...(my calculations were off)

Sounds a lot like the same method I already have properly documented here at except you only have to run DVD2ONE one time instead of many times. You could have done all this in the old version.

Doesn't seem like the same thing at all. which page on that site?

Basically all you had to do before was rip the dvd, put all the VOB's in order, use IFOEdit to create new Ifo's and then run DVD2ONE. In some cases you don't even have to do that much. It really depends on the Disk. Most anime Disks I can get away with doing just what I said, but you reallly have to look at it on a case by case basis. in any event using this method you only have to run DVD2ONE one time.
