2. VOB Merge (merge Vob**.vob created by splitting with
MPEG Utils MINUS the repeating scene)
Now...you need to play each of the vob0x.vob type files that
MPEG Utils created to make sure you know which set(s) are repeated.
You may also go by file size, repeating scenes aren't exactly
the same size, but they are very very close. I suggest playing
each vob because sometimes you don't know which is which. For
example, Disney movie opening credits are sometimes displayed
in English as well as in French. You should know which one you
want to keep, and which you wish to delete. If the scenes are
exactly the same, then delete ANY one of them. Also, make sure
you took care of all the repeating sets in that one vob file.
It is possible for there to be more than one set.
Now that you have the movie vob's by ID number WITHOUT the repeating
scene, you must merge them together. Load up VOB Merge.
From file selection, browse to the folder where you have the
vob's created by MPEG Utils (Vob**.vob files.. not Vts_01_1.vob
from the DVD). You will see the vob files listed in the right
window. Double click on each starting from the first one, and
of course, PUT THEM IN NUMBER ORDER! Click on the save Icon
to the right of the Destination text bar and feel free to overwrite
the ORIGINAL vob file from the DVD. Click Merge. This process
will take only a while.
Repeat this process of checking for a problem, splitting if
there is one, and merging for ALL your original movie VOBs.
Once you're done with that continue on with your desired encoding
format (VCD or DiVX).
