Remove titles from DVD?

mainstream · 06-24-2012, 01:18 PM

Hello all,

I'm looking for an alternative for Windows' DVDShrink to delete titles <1 min from a DVD (i want all junk removed from my backed-up dvds).

Maybe there is a linux alternative or is this possible through bash (so it's automated).

I have no clue where to begin; have been searching for a few days now.

Thanks in regards

MakeMKV - will let you choose which video file you want to remove from the DVD/Blu-ray 'can also specify minimum length'

Then you can use Handbrake to encode it to an MP4

I believe you can do it from DVD::rip as well.

General options-> frame range.

Its not quite the same as with DVDshrink, there is no GUI frame slider. Neat hint here-

Quote:

May be mplayer can help you. The output in xterm or what do you use, is

A: 4.2 V: 4.2 A-V: 0.000 ct: 0.004 102/102 33% 8% 1.6% 0 0 0%

What do you want is the fith number; is the number of frames showed.

So you run the movie, pause it in the first frame that you want to
identify, continues and pause again in the last frame ...
I know my english is terrible ... You'll see something like this:

A: 0.6 V: 0.6 A-V: -0.001 ct: 0.009 16/ 16 42% 11% 5.6% 0 0 95%
A: 8.3 V: 8.3 A-V: 0.001 ct: 0.004 200/200 27% 8% 1.8% 6 0 79%
------ PAUSED -------

The first frame is 16 and the last is 200

i guess its up to taste but why would someone convert an mkv to an mp4.

i would use xvidenc or h264enc and modify the output bash script for your needs.

I just do it for portability reason's, and file size... Ripping a Bluray, I don't want to store the 25GB MKV file for future use. I like to compress it down to a smaller size while retaining most of the HD qualities, for phone use or whatever... It's just they way I do it, many ways to do a this.

k9copy is an equivalent to dvdshrink which takes a high density dvd and shrinks it to fit a standard dvd. k9copy allows you to select titles, languages and subtitles from the dvd and k9copy will make a dvd image folder or an iso. You can also choose to make individual file(s) as well.

I use HandBrakeCLI when I want to make a mp4 or a mkv file from a dvd or from a file. HandBrakeCLI also lets you encode a portion of the video by passing these options --start-at and --stop-at

Lastly, if you want to make a dvd from your video files, programs like tovid, dvdstyler and devede fit the bill. Personally, in my opinion tovid is the best dvd authoring program for linux.

what is it you want to do
remove the intro to a season of episodes on a dvd

or

the fbi warning and the very VERY laughable PSA ( if you can call it that) on the EVILS of copying

all of the above will work to remove the 30 sec intro and 30 sec at the end ( credits)

Ok thanks for all the comments.

I do not want to convert it to mkv or encode it to somewhat else. I just want to remove the intro (trailers and other crap) and keep a DVD format. Whether this is just the VIDEO_TS folder or an ISO (maybe even better).
I know, that removing the FBI warning and such, takes more work... So i keep my hands off that.

schneidz · 06-25-2012, 08:49 AM

lsdvd lists the length of each title.

Did you read my post. k9ccopy does what you want. I know because I use it. K9copy also includes a program called k9copy assistant, an interactive wizard that guides you in creating your custom dvd. Just click on the wizard button on the top menu.

THanks for the tip. I however use Gnome... I tried to install Lightbrake (k9copy with KDE depencies) but the PPA is broken.

N.v.m. i already found a working deb (THANKS!). Still my question: does anyone know how to do this automated? ^^

schneidz · 06-26-2012, 06:54 AM

do you like vobcopy ? a custom script calling lsdvd (filtering titles less than 1 minute) and vobcopy will likely yield good results.

That sounds more to my tasting! Where can i find this script?
Thanks in regards

schneidz · 06-26-2012, 02:05 PM

custom meaning you make it yourself. i mite be able to hax a few lines of bash together tomorrow if i got time... am being smothered with work at the moment.

edit: actually it didnt take that long:
