Which question?

I’ll use real examples to make it clear.
American Gangster has an “unrated” version which includes some extra scenes.
Bourne Identity (Extended Edition) has an “extended version” with alternate opening and closing.
Star Wars III has multiple angles for some scenes.
Hostle has a behind the scenes shot at one point that uses angles.
High School Musical uses angles to show a different shot of the moves in the extras.
(I believe) they all use command tables and such to control things. The angle ones allow you to switch while watching, the alternate version ones play the whole movie, swapping in chapters from a separate title where necessary, then continuing on.
I always copy just the movie and deleted/alternate scenes. We don’t care for menus, behind-the scenes stuff, or commentaries (I only include them if there’s plenty of extra space). If there is an alternate version, I include both. With some titles like
Hostle or
High School Musical it’s easy because all of the content is on the same disc, so I can just use
CloneDVD or another program that handles angles. They understand that there are not really two separate titles totaling 10GB, but rather one with some extra scenes that are spliced in. But with
American Gangster,
Star Wars III,
Unbreakable, and such, the extras are on a second disc, so I need a way of copying that to the same disc as the main movie.
Using CloneDVD or Fab open a disc that includes another version in reauthor/custom mode. Select the main movie. It will tell you how much space it needs. Now select the alternate version. It will increase the required space, but only a little because it only needs to add the few extra chapters that are different. Now try the same thing in
DVD Shrink. It will display them as two separate and full titles requiring double the space. Shrink can see them correctly in Full Disc mode, but then I can’t add the extras from disc 2.
I hope I made it clear (the Internet is—still—such a terse medium). I’ve already run into quite a few of these kinds of movies, and I’m sure there will be more. I’d love to figure out a way to deal with them once and for all.
