you can take out unwanted full screens VTS(video title set), warning screens, extras, or anything that's not needed or wanted with DVDRemake and then use DVD-RB!

What DVD are you backing up? What is the total size of the DVD you have with the 2 versions and what is the size of 1 version of the movie. I've done backups of DVDs with both FS and WS with no problems using RB.

I recently did Fun With Dick and Jane. Using VobBlanker, I removed the fullscreen, kept the widescreen version and everything else.

I use DVDRemake to take out any unwanted stuff..... and you can take out the widescreen or the fullscreen versions or anything else you want out of the DVD!

So either way, it's not a Mission Impossible so to speak.

Don't worry Luke, Obiwan is here. ;) LOL Good call on the DVDRemake if one just has to edit.

No, and it's probably not "Mission Impossible" if one decided to keep both versions of the movie. Rebuilder with one of the supported encoders does an excellent job at high compression levels. I have my program set up to remove DTS and extra language options and don't even use steal space. My backups (including the blockbusters) come out excellent. I view the backups on a 60 inch screen, so if there were flaws, I'd be likely to see them. Family members say they can't tell the difference between backups and the original.

Do any of you use filters...and if so do you use them on all movies or what?

I've tried it once or twice with Undot and Deen. It really didn't make that much difference. That was with some old movies that had the years of neglect copied over on the digital format. If it was as simple as a couple of filters, I doubt the movie industry would be pouring the big bucks into film restoration. With modern DVD releases, there's no need for filters with RB.

Have you tried Rebuilder and the options you're asking about? Getting opinions is all well and good, but you need to give it a run to see what you think.

I agree on the old movies, the filters did not make much difference. Since Hwood in its greed making wisdom is cranking out DVD's at record pace, quality is not high on their list. Some of the old b/w's that I have cannot be helped by filters, they need some more restoration.

I doubt they'll restore all the old movies. Some are getting the restoration treatment due to the historical slant. The other side is who can raise the bucks. The Gene Autry group is doing well with his old movies. Of course the money makers are going to get the treatment. A lot of the old movies are just being copied direct from the unrestored film to DVD format. That's what gives us some of the seedy looking DVDs. The actual quality of the DVD may be high, but the original source could well be the culprit. I like watching some of the old B Westerns occasionally. Sadly, the remainder of the old ones are mostly in bad shape. With the deterioration of the film, many of the old movies are lost entirely.

You are so correct on the deterioration of the old films. I am an old film buff and it is sad how much of them are gone. I got an old Philo Vance one with William Powell..The Kennel Club Murder.. and it looks so rough. Also another problem I am seeing is the amount of compression that is on these old films, some of them are coming in at 60% for movies that are not even 90 minutes long.

Well... we're lucky at least some of the old movies are being restored, whether from philanthropical or monetary concerns. At least the ones that are just copied to digital format won't be entirely lost. I'd rather watch the old movies with the "noise" than not be able to view them at all.

ok i am going to sum up my final questions....I have been using RB for a week now and i am trying to figure out everything i was wondering so i dont have to go back and re do some things.....1)When backing up movies do i need to know about matrices....2) If i have AnyDVD do i need to rip the dvd or can i just use the actual dvd as my source in RB...3)What is the 2-Ch audio i always take out of my backups...I have always only left 5.1 Ch.....is the adio i have been taking off in the actual movie or just somewhere in the extras? Sorry so much but i am a perfectionist and if i realize that i have done something wrong then i cant help but redo it..and this takes alot of time to do

1) No. Understanding how something works often makes one feel better about doing a job, but it isn't necessary. Much as using a PC doesn't require your knowing how to build and maintain it.
2) Either way. Ripping to the hard drive is a few minutes faster, at least on my system. That includes the time to rip the files to the HDD plus running RB. You need to take into consideration all the extra time the optical drive will be running if you decide to use the DVD as the source. With RB, most people use hard drive files.
3) 2-channel is the 2 channel stereo for 2 speaker systems. 5.1 will play on 2 channel as well.
As for myself, I let the system automatically delete DTS if it's on a disc, since I don't have DTS hardware. The 2 channel doesn't take that much space. RB does a good job, so you don't have to be too "perfect" about editing everything. I keep a single language for audio and subtitles and automatically delete DTS. With those settings I select the full backup without using the steal space option. I watch the backups on a 60" TV and my wife says she can't tell the difference between the backups and originals.

Really old movies. I like the ones with sound. Some of the movies made back in the 50's are good even by today's standards. The cinematography and audio may not be up to par, but the storylines for some were very good. Then there were the B movies that were just for fun. They were enjoyable when I was a child, but nowadays a more mature audience will see them as being contrived. I noticed an old John Wayne flick where he road down a concrete drain line on a shovel. How often do you think that would happen in the old west? Also I've noticed on the houses where someone painted over light fixtures (old single bulbs) instead of removing them. How often do you think a person would see electric fixtures in the real old west? As I said, the Bs are just fun and memories of younger days. Strangely enough, they've become a genre of their own.
