New Utility --MakeItEasy-- Full Backups with DVD2one

All,

Okay, I've been impressed with the speed of DVD2one and its ability to create VOBs. But I've been wishing I could do complete backups, menus and all, like I do with the DVD2AVI/CCE/IFOUpdate method. The author is promising this capability in future versions.

I couldn't wait. So I wrote a utility (I call it "MakeItEasy") to do it for me and (as always) I'm sharing it with the DOOM9 crowd. To make it work you need DVDDecrypter, DVD2one, IFOEDIT, and MakeItEasy -- nothing more. Complete backups in an hour or so.

Here's how it works:

1. Rip the disc to your harddrive with DVDDecrypter. Put them in a directory called D:\ORIG (or any name you like)

2. Look at the VOBs and find the one with the movie (the biggest)

3. Copy the files VTS_XX_1.VOB thru VTS_XX_n.VOB to another directory -- for instance call it d:\SOURCE

4. Now look at the directory you copied from and see how much space is used by other files (IFOs, other VOBs, etc.) -- you'll need to know this for MakeItEasy.

5. Run MakeItEasy and follow the directions. You must first prepare the DVD2one source. What you will be doing is padding the VOB files with enough space to hold your extras! That is shown as Step 2 -- make sure you create plenty of space as it will be compressed along with the rest of the source data. It all depends on the size at the start -- regardless it will shrink to 4.38GB when completed.

6. After MakeItEasy pads the VOB files. Run IFOEDIT and click the "Create IFOs" button. It will create all the files needed to run DVD2one.

7. Run DVD2one against the files you just created. Use D:\SOURCE for input and D:\DEST for output (or any name you want)

8. After it's done, it's time to remove the padding (so you have room for your extras) from the files in the D:\DEST directory. Again, MakeItEasy does that -- just follow the directions.

9. Copy the VOB files (only) from the D:\DEST directory to the D:\ORIG directory.

10. Run the update function from MakeItEasy. It updates the original IFO in the same way that IFOUpdate would. It also does a "Get VTS Sectors" function.

11. Test it with PowerDVD or another Player. If all went well you should have directory ready to burn in under an hour.

Enjoy.

@needle

a = size of the entire original disc
b = size of all except the main movie
c = size needed for Padding

(a/4.38)*b = c

then add a smidgen for safety (a smidgen is the scientific equivalent of an RCH)

大家好：
這是從doom9的DVD論壇中轉載而來，我還沒時間試，有興趣及有時間的先進可先試試。
英文不好翻譯的不佳也請先進多予補充。
大意如下：

我對DVD2ONE的速度及能力印象深刻，但仍希望有完整的備份，包括選單及花絮等等。雖然原作者承諾在下一版本會加入此一功能，但我不願意等下去，所以我自己寫了一個工具程式，叫做MakeItEasy。
除了這個程式外，你還需要DVDDecrypter,DVD2one,IFOEDIT等，這些就足夠了。
步驟如下：
1.用DVDDcrypter將片子解碼後存入HDD（Ex: D:\ORIG）
2.判斷主電影檔的VOBs。
3.Copy 這些檔到另一目錄（Ex： D:\SOURCE）
4.分別計算主電影檔（VOBs）及其餘檔案的大小（含IFO及其的VOB），準備給MakeItEasy使用。
5.執行MakeItEasy，在step 2中填入 D:\SOURCE及要增加的檔案大小。
增加的檔案大小計算方式：
a=原始檔案大小（即D:\ORIG）
b=除了主影片檔外的檔案大小
c=增加的檔案大小

c=(a/4.38)*b

P.S.計算要加入給選單或花絮等用的檔案大小及比例
6.完成後執行IFOEDIT，按Create IFO後會產生新的檔案。
7.再執行DVD2one，來源（SOURCE）為前述，目的地（Destination)另設一空白區(Ex:\DEST)。（step 3)
8.完成後，準備移除增加的檔案：執行MakeItEasy的step 4，目的地填入 D:\DEST(也就是前一步驟產生的檔案）
9.將D:\DEST下的VOB檔案 COPY 到D:\ORIG下。
10.執行MakeItEasy的step 5，將會更新D:\ORIG下IFO檔，同時也會"Get VTS Sectors"。(Oringinal IFO 即為D:\ORIG)
11.用DVD 播放軟體（如POWER DVD)，如正常的話就可拿去燒錄了。
