OK, so i've been practicing with my burner for a few weeks now, but have now hit a snag. I have the movie Alone in the Dark. I have done a search and all i come up with is Dark Water and The Dark.
My problem is this: I have AnyDvd in the background and am using CloneDVD2 to "shrink" the movie. When i go thru the whole process-and i picked just the 1st title 1:38:05 or so-the movie plays fine except for one tiny problem--the director is talking while i'm trying to enjoy the movie!! Did he forget silence is golden?!
I clicked off all the subtitle options and still have all the Dolby surround options on.
I am burning it again right now, but i also clicked the 'preserve all menus' function. Was just wondering if anyone else has done this movie and can educate me here while i wait . . . . .? Thanks!

You've saved the Director's commentary which is an option on a lot of movies. With menus you could select not to use that option. For a movie only with no menus for navigation, you'd best select only the audio track for the movie.

Depends on how well the software breaks down the audio segments for editing. It's also a good reason to have menus and navigation in order to change setup selections for languages, audio tracks (such as director or actor commentary), and subtitles. So, you need to keep the box with preserve menus selected. Good luck with the editing. CloneDVD 2 is known as a good transcoder, but it isn't recommended as a good editing program.

Another thing to remember is that with AnyDVD the language should be in automatic or the one of your choice. I leave it auto and make any selections in the recording software.

so, would you recommend just burning to HD then using a different program to edit it? I also have DVDdecryptor(?) and Shrink.

No need, just keep the menus and your language and audio selections and you should be able to choose the right options in setup if they don't start up automatically when you start to play. Some newer releases require ripping to the HDD in order to process for compliance, but don't worry about that till you have to.
