I want to know at what step/stage I can remove the unwanted stuff like extra features and foreign languages from a DVD and just backup the main movie? Will DVD Builder allow to do that or will I have to do it in Shrink? Thanks

after phase one (prepare) you will be able to access the files in the segment editor/viewer to blank or still the segments that you don't want, of course this can only be done in the pro version.

Is dvd rebuilder free and can I use it to create menus
I mean menus that allow you to click on a movie so it will play, or if you have 3 movies on one disk, to select different movies rather than using the faswtforward button.

There is a free version of Rebuilder and the Pro version. In regards to the extra stuff, at least from the Pro version there is a lot of flexibility to determine...movie only, movie with menus and no extras, and complete backup and it even goes further by allowing the user to determine what % of extras is used which allows more quality for the main movie. I do not believe there is a menu making device (such as Dvd Remake pro or Dvd Lab). I use remake pro when wanting to make my own menus. Typically I use Rebuilder Pro/CCE Basic and do movie only backup. When dealing with unwanted credits I use Remake Pro or Recode 2 and remove the credits so that they are not being compressed with the movie.
Rebuilder Pro is worth every dime and I added the CCE Basic ($60.00) and feel the same about it...When doing backups with 40-50% compression the quality cannot be beat.

@agarg, I have set my Pro version as a 1 click so prior to pressing backup I go into the mode tab and select movie only or movie with menu. At the bpttom of the list there is a tab for selecting how much to steal from the extras. I do not use this as I only want to back up my movie, but others have found it useful. I also mentioned before that I purchased CCE Basic from Cinemacraft, but I also feel that the free encoder HC by Hanks is good as well. This comes with both the free and pro version.
Hope this helps.

rebuilder simply takes a file, breaks it down and feeds it through an encoder to fit it to disk then rebuilds the exact file (except maybe for segment's such as extra's that you would rather not view)
it's kinda like dvdshrink on steroids =)
you would most likely be able to preprocess the filesw/ dvd remake to join them, as for making a custom menu google " numenu4u "
hope this helps =)

I just completed my first backup of a dual layer movie that is 2.5 hours long. I used the CCE 2 pass and the process took 236 minutes. Is that typical amount of time? Also I have a bunch of files almost 4 gig worth in the Working Path folder and a new folder was created called D2AVS that has a bunch of files. What are these files/folders can they be deleted to free up space?

@agarg - I just started using DVDRB but I think I know the answer to your last question.
The length of the movie I believe is irrelevent. I believe the compression/framecount to be the more determining factor in time relevance. The more compression/framecount the longer the time. I'm also going to say the time it took you is probably normal. However your system specs have a lot to do with the time that it takes DvdRB to finsh it's process. As to your extra folder, I've been deleting them and haven't had no problems. I believe they are just working/temp folders and can be deleted/written over. You can just leave them alone and keep writing over them if you like.
Once again I am fairly new to DvdRB, but seen no one had answered you yet so I thought I would throw my opinion in.

The physical size of a DVD is irrelevant but the frame count is proportionate to its length. 30 frames per second is 30 frames.

these folders are neccesary so you will need them, however when you have completed the burn and are satisfied w/ your result you will definately want to empty these folders to free up space!
your times are dependant on your system specs as 200+ min's might look like a lot to me some may wish they could get those times so, don't be overly concerned w/ time's.

So are all movies made at the same frame count? Also do you know if all movies are made at the same bitrate? If they are all done at both the same than my answer was defintely a bonehead one. Sorry.

All North American movies are at the same fram rate of 29.97 even though they were filmed at 24 frames per second. Movies are Telecined to 2.9.97 frames so that they work on our TV's. The bitrate is different on all moves and that can have an effect on their physical size but it's the total frame count that determines speed of encoding the most.

Sophocles - Thanks for the info, that is something I have been wondering about and have seen it asked a few times here. Just to be clear:
Lets say I have a 90 minute movie and a 120 minute movie. Both are 6gb.
1. So the bit rate on the 90 minute movie must be higher?
2. The compression would be the same since they are both the same size?
3. After encoding would the 90 minute one be better quality since it should come out at a higher bitrate?
4. The total encoding time would be the same.
5. Also do these rules take affect for Shrink and Nero Recode2?
Thanks a bunch!

A 90 minute movie could depending on how it was originally transfered (that has to be accounted for too)have a higher bitrate. bitrate does take up more space. There are always variables and they all affect them outcome to some degree but frame count is the big one. I can do a 90 minute movie using two pass in under 1 hour.
