my original thoughts were pathplayer accidentally kept the angle button as a Button Over Video. as i have ripped multi angle before with out the button retained and had rips where the button was still present. just didnt know why? and still dont really know.

@signals, thanks for your reply. actually disable pathplayer is just what i was thinking of doing. and just as an FYI, im a Main Movie ripper. as i know there are many Full Disc and Clone fans. just cant justify the price of $.30 per dvd compared to $2 or more per dvd. i go through a 100 pack like a can a pringles. once i pop i cant stop.

@linx05, thank you for your reply. i have found the option in the dvdfab protection settings.

@blutach, again thank you for your reply. you helped me with an over sight when i couldnt find the read destination in ImgBurn, which turned out to be right in front of my eyes and i had looked right at it 20 times. your knowledge of dvd structure is always very informative. either when posted at cdfreaks or other forums. i have downloaded PgcEdit (along with several other programs) and have installed but never had a reason to use it. until now.

as signals suggested i would really like a method of doing this with dvdfab, but dont want the negative effects either. since i do main move rips unticking the remove UOP's from VOB files will probably not have much effect on my viewing experience (except removing the angle button ) however if using other modes there could be negative effects. i will keep all protection options checked.

seems Fengtao is hard at work on the next version, as we've not had any betas in a while. i understand this is not a high priority item. so for now i will just use PgcEdit.
