MAINEMAN:

>>>One odd finding was that when I opened express and took a look at the files, three separate identical files were listed: 4295 MB ea. (running 1:39:45 ea). <<<

There exists three main movie versions, one each for ENGLISH, FRENCH, SPANISH. I'm not sure why. Normally, you have separate subtitles and/or audio tracks. I used CLONEDVD2 for the backup. I selected two things. The main movie with menus, in ENGLISH. No warnings, no studio logos, no movie preview. All the other titles were left unchecked. As a result, I got a nice clean backup with English Dolby 5.1 surround. It all fits on one layer with no compression. Normally, I have to use VOBBLANKER to get this result, but they made it easy for me to use a simple tool like CLONEDVD2.
