How to
make a joined disk?
Step 1 - Copy the movies you
want to join 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.
- Although DVD2oneX should also work with files that are
preprocessed (ifo mode), it is strongly recommended to use file mode.
- Make sure all options are disabled, so for instance do not enable
Multi Angle Processing!
- Do not merge the vob files to one big file, keep them seperate.
Step 2 - Process the movie
-Select Join from the Copy mode popup-button. Now the join-drawer will
open on the left site of the mainwindow.

By default one DVD title (# 1) is available and this one is
called the main title.
-Select the wanted compression Ratio, select the output option you want
-Select Advanced Navigation if you want to control navigation
between titles using your remote control. This feature might not work correctly with
specific dvd players, or may have some unwanted side effects. It is
recommended to try first with a rewritable disk. For more information
check join mode .

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.

-* 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 avalable audio tracks, subtitles and angles.

In the titlelist select the title that you want..
Select the audio- and subtitle-tracks you want to include in your
copy. It is recommended to include only those audio tracks you really
need. This saves additional space for the video stream.

You can set the default audio- and subtile-track by dubble klicking on
it. After you have done this a small arrow sign will appear in the
first
column of the list. To deselect just dubble click on the selected track
again.
-Select the angle you want to keep. Usually the first one is the one
you want.
Now you can add another title to the joinlist by pressing the + button
and repeat from *
You can delete a title by clicking on the - button or
pressing the backspace or delete key on the keyboard.
Seamless Join
In Join mode a black and silent gap is
inserted between the joined titles.

From of the second title you can check the Seamless Join
checkbox. Now the audio- and subtitle-track selections (including
defaults) are copied from the title to which the title is seamlessly
joined..
The advantage of the Seamless Join mode is that the joined titles are
played after each other without a gap.
You can mix Join and Seamless Join.
-Then click the Start button and a drawer will open to select the
destination directory. DVD2oneX will automaticaly create a VIDEO_TS and
AUDIO_TS directory at the chosen directory.
Press select and processing begins.
Symbols
There are four types of symbols that can appear on the row
(under the # collumn) of a join title.
OK, the title is correct configured
Warning, the title has no audio
selection
Bad,
the title is not correctly configured. Probably a wrong title or source
is chosen (cannot be seamless joined)
No
Cell/Chapter is selected in the Cell tab.
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.
- Make sure that the files are in a VIDEO_TS directory.
- Make sure that the disk name, directory name and file names are
in CAPITALS.
- Add an empty AUDIO_TS directory for more settop DVD player
compatability.
