How to make a movie copy?


Step 1 - Copy the movie to your harddisk

Most DVD's are encrypted and need to be decrypted before you can process them with DVD2oneX. Since decrypting DVD's can be against the law in your country, this part is not included in DVD2oneX. You will have to search the internet to find a program that can do this job.
Step 2 - Movie only copy
-Select Movie only from the copy mode popup button.
-Select the source directory. If you select a valid (VIDEO_TS) source directory the titlelist will show the available titles and a drawer will open showing the available audio tracks, subtitles and angles.


In the titlelist select the title that contains the main feature (usually the one with the most chapters).
-Select the audio- and subtitle-tracks you want to include in your copy by checking the checkbox. It is recommended to include only those audio tracks you really need. This saves additional space for the video stream.
Also select the angle you want to keep. Usually the first one is the one you want. This feature is mostly used by studio's to display texts and credits in different languages according to match the audio language you have chosen. For instance on Star Wars it is used for the 3D scrolling intro text.


You can set the default audio- and subtitle-track by double clicking on it. After you have done this a small arrow sign will appear in the first column of the list. To deselect just double click on the selected track again.
-Select the angle you want to keep. Usually the first one is the one you want. This feature is mostly used by studio's to display texts and credits in different languages according to match the audio language you have chosen. For instance on Star Wars it is used for the 3D scrolling intro text.
-Select the wanted compression Ratio.

If MKISOFS is installed you can select the create image checkbox. In this case a DVD-disk image is created after the processing is done.


-Then click the Start button and a drawer will open to select the destination directory. DVD2oneX will automatically create a VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS directory at the chosen directory.
Press select and processing begins.

Step 3 - Select the cells you want to keep
By selecting the Cell selection tab on the selections drawer the list with available cells becomes visable. Now you can select the cells you want to keep in your movie. With the selection popup at the bottom of the drawer you can change between Cell, Chapter or Layer selection. Using the buttons All and None you can quickle select or deselect all cells. By default all cells are selected (full movie).

With cell selection you can also create a "SPLIT DISK"
To do so, first, choose Layer from the popup menu and select (check) the first layer. Now process (press Start) your movie and call this output ie DISK1. When finished select select (check) the second layer. Process the movie again and call this output ie DISK2. Now burn the results (DISK1 and DISK2) to two disks and you have a splited disk (see step 4).

Step 4 - Burn the movie
If create image was selected a DVD_TITLE.img file is found at the destination directory. This image can be easily burned using the Apple Disk Copy tool.
Follow these instructions to burn a disk image file to a  DVD-R disc.

1. Open Disk Copy (/Applications/Utilities).
2. Choose File > Burn Image. Note: Don't open the disk image file before choosing this command.
3. A navigation dialog box appears. Locate and select the disk image file.
4. Click Burn.
5. When prompted, insert a blank disc into the disc drive.
6. Click Burn.

Depending how the After Burning option is configured, the disc will eject or appear on the desktop when the disc is successfully completed.

If MKISOFS is not installed, DVD2oneX does always deliver DVD compliant files. This means that you can burn the movie with any DVD recording software. The DVD compliant files can be found in the VIDEO_TS directory at the destination directory.
