Any one make custome DVD or Blu-ray? - Blu-ray Forum

phatrat1982 · 08-06-2011, 02:42 PM

I am NOT talking piracy I am just talking ripping the video and audio, removing the junk you are not interested in, and arranging your own special features and burning a new disc how you like it to be without the extra stuff?

Just curious if anyone else does this. Sometimes more with DVD but I am experimenting with Blu Ray too. What I like to do is take out the commentaries I am not interested in, remove the special features that I don't care about like art galleries and junk, and re encode the main movie with my own chapter breaks stuff like that. I don't sell or make copies just like to customize my discs from time to time and was curious if anyone else did this.

I haven't gotten into custom covers and cases yet but I have only ever remixed a handful of movies so far all DVD and I am dabbling into Blu Ray now but it is a lot more complicated than DVD ever was.

No. Blank 50GB BD-R are $4-$5 a piece.

I have to ask why would you do this. Why not just ignore the special features that you do not want to watch

this.
seems like an enormous waste of time/effort/money.

I do sometimes, but the movie in question must warrant this, I do not just do it, to do it LOL, for example, The Return of The Living Dead did not have the Theatrical audio, so I ripped the DTS-HD MA audio from the BD and separated it into 6 mono wavs and edited back in the Theatrical music, Tarmans voice where different, and such, then re encoded a new DTS-HD MA file and then remux.

Now with the recent release of Conan The Barbarian we just discovered that the music is really different from the Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono track on the Collector's Edition DVD, a lot of the choir\singing is absent from the BD's, and this is really noticeable in the beginning and other parts, so now I am ripping the mono from the CE DVD and putting it in sync with the BD, then remux.

Also, I have done a lot of custom DVD's.

phatrat1982 · 08-06-2011, 03:41 PM

There are a lot of reasons, for me it depends on the movie but sometimes I like to cut out the useless stuff and reorganize and put different stuff in it all depends. I do it mostly for fun not because the discs are worthless or whatever, I always keep the original disc. I also like to do my own fan edits of movies but I have only done a few. And I like my fanedit DVD's to look like real proper DVD's so I practice on reassembling real proper dvd's so I know what to do.

Eh, why don't you just ignore that specific content?

Waste of time and money.

phatrat1982 · 08-06-2011, 03:47 PM

Well you didn't read my second post then. Also it is not a waste of money when DVD discs are so dirt cheap. I haven't gotten into doing Blu Ray yet but I am learning how. But I guess people have opinions I just thought I would ask if anyone else does apparently not a lot of people will but I would like to know who else does so I can exchange ideas with them.

Well that is your opinion for you it is for me it isn't. How is buying movies any more of a waste of time and money really when you could do more productive stuff with your life honestly everything everyone does can be considered a waste of time by someone else.

ps3bd_owner · 08-06-2011, 06:35 PM

To burn to a Blu-ray Disc, it's needed a Blu-ray Burner also, and these two things don't end up cheap at all.

"How is buying movies any more of a waste of time"

At least they aren't backup discs, but rather the originals.

YodasFootPowder · 08-06-2011, 08:27 PM

I've been doing this for a few months now. There are a few movies I have that have about 5-6 commercials before them which can't be skipped, you actually have to fast forward through them, and some movies which take an ungodly amount of time to load the main menu. For these, I strip everything out and burn just the movie to a blank Blu-ray. Also, I have a 6 year old daughter who doesn't quite yet realize the importance of being careful with discs, for a few of the kids Blu-rays I have, I like to have burned copies so if she wrecks one, it isn't the original.

I also only buy 25GB discs, which are pretty cheap. Most movies will fit on a 25GB disc, once all extra audio and extra features are stripped out.

Nissen · 08-06-2011, 08:49 PM

I've actually done this with a few of the Disney discs to make a more user-friendly version for the kids. I just keep the actual film with the single audio track the kids need (Norwegian) and burn to DVD-R or put them on the media server.

Also, I have several DVDs with forced subs in French or German or Norwegian that require a slight case of ripping before they're useful. I always keep the original discs.

I'm not set up to do this for Blu-ray yet, but it would apply to those as well.

I believe this all comes under the "fair use" clause.

Not exactly you can burn Blu Ray discs on DVD9 if you have the right software. But yeah the discs and burners are expensive which is why I am still waiting on those.

omgdyl · 08-07-2011, 02:11 PM

The most I've done is rip the main movie onto my HTPC. Usually when i buy a blu ray ill watch any of the special features im interested in and put it away. For the most part I only watch special features once and cutting out ads and stuff is nice too. So just getting straight into the movie is nice.

I haven't really messed around too much with reorganizing a blu ray though. I can understand why you'd do it though. I also only have a Blu ray reader not burner and dont wanna pony up the money just yet for the hardware and media.
